Frequently asked questions.
Do you offer packages?
I don’t offer packages as all of my weddings are tailored to my couples needs. I feel this gives you better value for money and more control. As there are so many factors that can influence pricing I feel it is misleading to give you a list of prices that may not reflect your final spend. I will work closely with you to ensure we are respectful to your proposed budget.
How soon do I need to book my florist?
Most couples book a minimum of 6-12 months out, but we can easily work within a shorter lead time if needed. Your booking is only confirmed once your deposit is paid ($500 + GST). After paying your deposit we can easily make changes and revise details. Final confirmation is around 4 weeks prior to your wedding day
Do you have a minimum spend?
I’m happy to work with any budget and will guide you on what is realistic for what you are comfortable spending on your flowers. That being said, the ideal spend on flowers is betweeen $6,000 and $12,000 to achieve the look you see on my socials and website.
What’s the average spend for flowers?
Each wedding is so different that a true ‘average’ doesn’t really exist, however, most couples spend between $6,000 - $12,000 on their flowers. Generally speaking, 10-15% of your overall wedding budget is a good range. Allow 20-30% if you are wanting flowers to be a major feature.

What happens on the day?
MAGIC!! Normally your bouquets and other personal flowers will be delivered first off, allowing your photographer time to get images and so that we are out of the way when all the important wedding prep stuff is going on! Then the team deliver and set up all of the flowers and candles at your ceremony and reception ensuring everything looks perfect. Where necessary, we use our discretion to ensure that everything from tablecloths to toilets look as they should. I do not offer a ‘drop and run’ as part of my service, I care too deeply about the end result to leave this to anyone else.
How do we get a quote?
All quotes are provided after a consultation only. The first step in the process is to send an enquiry so I can check that your date is available! You can do that using the enquire tab in the menu above. If your date is available, you will be sent a questionnaire to complete and we organise a time to catch up and chat over the details. So fun! If you are Interstate or Overseas we can do this via video call.
Do you supply vases etc?
All of my couples get exclusive use of my inventory as part of their booking so there is no need to supply your own, unless you are wanting something specific that I do not stock, or you want to gift the entire centrepiece including the vessel at the end of the reception. These are all details we will discuss in your consultation.
Can I see what my flowers will look like?
You are absolutely able to request a mock up if you would like one. These are paid for separately and are yours to take home and enjoy. However, as flower availability can change day to day, I cannot promise that any mock ups will be the same as the finished product on the big day. My design ethos is all about creating a ‘feeling’ rather than being too specific about flower types, that way you get the freshest, most beautiful flowers! Some creative freedom always yields the best results.
My Aunt/Friend wants to do some flowers, is that ok?
In my experience this rarely works well which is why it is part of my terms to be the only florist engaged on the day. It saves any last minute dramas, tears and anxiety (for me AND you!)
What happens to the flowers after the wedding?
You and your guests are free to take the flowers home to enjoy! Any hired items are to be left at the venue for collection unless otherwise contracted. For installations and other big feature pieces I normally get my couples to supply a handful of buckets that I will fill with ‘the best of what’s left’ for you to collect and enjoy! Anything left at pack-down must be disposed of as venues do not want anything left behind. We work all these details out at your final meeting!
