one perfect day

I have been holding this in for weeks upon weeks now, and finally I can reveal -

The wedding of Candice Lake & Didier Ryan!

I had to keep it a secret because Vogue wanted to cover the big day, and as much as I wanted to have exclusive rights, Vogue had the upper hand this time.

Late last year I received an email from Candice asking if I could do her wedding flowers, and was like- TRY AND STOP ME! After a few emails and a couple of stamps in her passport, Candice was back in town and she met me at the flower markets so we could pick her ultimate floral ingredients. Didier came too! Turns out he loves flowers, so he had a great time. We all did. My friend Gabby was there as well. We were picking out her wedding flowers too!

We needed to find something that would go with - The Dress. The Alberta Ferretti Dress. The Alberta Ferretti Dress that Alberta Ferretti made for Candice.

And that we did. 

We picked white misty and gardenias for the bouquet, white misty for the flower crown. Didier made his own buttonhole with natives, and his sister made the bridesbabes bouquets. We used natives to dress the arbour (that Didier made), which you can't see here, but you will see later...
