Additional Tips:

​

1. Floral Arrangements Can Be Reused or Repurposed

• Ceremony Flowers to Reception: We offer a service where we can move ceremony flowers (like altar arrangements or aisle markers) to the reception after the ceremony. This can maximise your budget and ensure the flowers are enjoyed throughout the entire event.

• Bouquets for Keepsakes or Photos: If you have an arrangement you particularly love (like your bridal bouquet), consider asking us if we can create additional smaller versions for bridesmaids or family members as keepsakes. We also offer bouquet preservation.

​

2. Timing for Personal Flowers

• We usually deliver all bridal party flowers directly to the bride and groom or their designated people at their respective locations. Be mindful of the timing—ensure we know when you’ll be getting dressed or when you plan to leave for the ceremony, so we can deliver on time. This is particularly important if you're getting pre-ceremony photos.

​

3. Consider the Weather and Seasonal Availability

• Weather Can Impact Flowers: If you're having an outdoor ceremony or reception, we will do our best to protect the flowers in case of rain, heat or wind. We do this by keeping them in the shade until the very last minute or delaying when we work on them. Please be open. We may need to provide alternatives like a mixture of artificial and real flowers that are less affected by weather.

• Seasonal Flowers Are Key: Flowers that are in season will not only be more affordable but also look fresher and last longer.

​

4. Flower Colour Coordination and Venue Style

• Make Sure to Match Your Venue: It’s important that the flowers complement your venue's style and colours. If your venue has a lot of bold colours or intricate designs, consider opting for more neutral or subtle florals to avoid clashing. Conversely, if your venue is more neutral, you can choose bold, vibrant colours for your flowers to create a stunning contrast. 

• Accent Flowers for Texture: Don’t be afraid to add texture to your florals! Consider using greenery, different types of flowers, and even unexpected elements like dried florals or vines to add dimension to your arrangements.

​

5. Floral Budget Considerations

• Don’t Forget Additional Costs: Beyond the bouquets, centrepieces and boutonnieres (the flowers themselves) we charge extra for delivery, setup, and breakdown fees + GST (our service). If you’re working with a specific budget, we can help recommend options that look beautiful but are more cost-effective. Please don't fall for cheaper pricing because it's true with flowers that you get what you pay for. You're paying for a luxury service, which is the flowers and an awesome team of people to do all the hard lifting for you on your special day.

​

6. Consider a Floral Photo Opportunity

• Floral Details for Photos: We love to create special moments where flowers can enhance your photos. For example, a beautiful floral arch or flower wall or backdrop for some standout photo opportunities.

• Bridal Bouquet Photos: Your bouquet is often featured in your wedding photos. Be sure to communicate with us about the look you envision. We offer to incorporate personal elements (like meaningful flowers or custom ribbons) into your bouquet.

​

7. Vendor Coordination

• Coordination with Other Vendors: We will likely need to coordinate with other vendors, such as your wedding planner, photographer and the venue. Be sure we are in the loop about your overall vision for the day, as this can help them ensure that floral arrangements are set up in a way that complements the décor and photographer's shots.

• Timing with Photographers: If your photographer plans to capture the “getting ready” moments, make sure the florals (bouquets, boutonnieres) are present early. The photographer may want to capture these details before the ceremony begins.

​

8. Wedding Day Florist Communication

• Keep Open Communication: Stay in contact with us during your wedding day. If there are any last-minute changes (like weather conditions, schedule shifts, or additional flower needs), make sure we know as early as possible.

• Trust Our Expertise: We are professionals who have done this many times before. We can offer guidance on what flowers work best for your wedding’s atmosphere and lighting. Trust our advice, especially when it comes to colour palettes and the seasonal availability of flowers.

​

By keeping these tips in mind, you can make sure your flowers enhance your wedding day seamlessly and beautifully. It's all about creating a balanced, cohesive look that fits your vision—and with the right florist, those blooms will be a highlight of your special day!
