Hello lovelies! You don't normally see me on a Sunday, but with load shedding and internet issues this week, I didn't get to bring you this little bit of floral loveliness, and I couldn't wait any longer to share it with you. In South Africa we're lucky that we don't have such clear-cut seasons, so some blooms are available for longer in the year, but even so, I always think it's a lovely thing to consider seasonal flowers when planning your wedding. Not only do they look amazing and natural, but they're also often a little friendlier on the budget (and the environment). A while back we rounded up some winter flowers, and today, in line with our theme for the month of May, we're showcasing a few beauties you might not yet have considered for your autumn wedding - along with some pretty bouquet and stationery inspiration, of course! Let's go!
