The picturesque hillsides, views, and rain forests of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland make our countryside and community idyllic for wedding celebrations. Some cultures celebrate The Toss as an interaction between brides and single female guests. From the delight of brides sharing their flowers to signify joy and future wishes for guests, to the anticipation those guests might experience as the bouquet is thrown. The excitement, the dream to become reality, the eagerness to catch the falling bouquet as it appears suspended in time.
The diagonal design supports this social interaction like an invisible garden trellis. These ‘bouquets’ have been created with reference to my own photos of our simple homegrown flowers. They symbolize love and innocence.
