When Sarah first walked into our shop six months before her wedding, she had a vision but wasn't sure how to bring it to life. She dreamed of a garden-style wedding that would showcase Kenya's natural beauty while maintaining elegance for her 150 guests. ### The Challenge Sarah wanted her wedding flowers to tell a story - one that reflected her journey from meeting her fiancé David in the gardens of Uhuru Park to their proposal at the Karen Blixen Museum. The challenge was creating arrangements that felt both romantic and authentically Kenyan. ### Our Solution Our design team proposed a stunning combination of locally grown roses, proteas, and baby's breath, accented with eucalyptus from the Aberdare Mountains. We created: - **Bridal Bouquet**: Cascade of white and blush roses with trailing eucalyptus - **Ceremony Arch**: Natural wooden structure adorned with climbing roses and native greenery - **Reception Centerpieces**: Mixed heights featuring proteas, roses, and candles in glass hurricanes - **Bridesmaids' Bouquets**: Smaller versions of the bridal bouquet in coordinating colors ### The Perfect Day "I couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful," Sarah shared with tears in her eyes. "Every arrangement told our story, and the flowers stayed fresh throughout the entire day. Our guests are still talking about how stunning everything looked." The wedding was featured in *Wedding Kenya* magazine, showcasing how local flowers can create world-class elegance. ### What Made It Special - **Personal Touch**: We incorporated flowers from locations meaningful to the couple - **Local Pride**: 100% Kenyan-grown flowers supporting local farmers - **Lasting Beauty**: Special conditioning ensured flowers looked perfect for 12+ hours - **Attention to Detail**: From boutonnieres to petal pathways, every element was perfect *Ready to create your own floral love story?
