‘In term of styling it was all about the flowers. We wanted to create a beautiful intimate event for our nearest and dearest. Viv takes great pride in her work so it was a chance for her to share what she does with her family. Our date was even chosen with the flowers in mind (third week of October is the best flower week of the year, lilac, snowball, dog wood, all the flower nerd favourites!) we had flowers from so many amazing growers and local farms. We went to the flower market together at 3am on the Tuesday and picked everything up, which was really fun part of the lead up.’
