Amy & James' Harbour View Lawn and Botanic House Wedding
A romantic wedding at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney: an outdoor ceremony on the Harbour View Lawn facing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, then a reception at Botanic House, with the menu designed by chef and MasterChef judge Luke Nguyen. Planning here too? See our Botanic House wedding flowers and Royal Botanic Garden wedding flowers guides.
The ceremony on the Harbour View Lawn
Amy & James chose neutral meets modern minimalist dusty tones, without taking the impact away from the backdrop of the lawn and its water views. We designed an asymmetrical freestanding floral backdrop to frame the couple.

Moving the flowers to Botanic House
After the ceremony, the backdrop was repurposed at Botanic House, around the bar and the seating chart at the entrance. It is a good way to get more from your wedding flowers, and we explain it in reusing your wedding flowers.

The reception tables
The round guest tables had low floral centrepieces, and the two long king tables had striking, minimalist bud vases that suited the modern feel of the venue. We are a preferred florist at Botanic House.

The flowers: dahlias, roses, bleached ruscus, lunaria and baby's breath, with maple and camellia foliage.
