These Provincial Minis from Matakana Botanicals are made with ingredients sourced from the beautiful Matakana region of New Zealand. The range combines subtle macadamia with fresh fig aromas and crisp, uplifting lime with olive oil to create two opposing, yet equally pure, and contemporary fragrances. Now available in minis - perfect for everyday use and honeymoon travel!
Church Confetti specialise in natural freeze dried rose petals, petal cones and paper favours. The freeze dried petals are wilt-free, less likely to stain and because the colours last so well they can be ordered months in advance. Whether you’re after petals for use in place of confetti, petals as gorgeous favours, or a host of petals to line your aisle, look no further!
