FAQ

Budget & Pricing 

 

 

DO YOU HAVE A MINIMUM INVESTMENT?

 

Yes! We do, our minimum investment for Toowoomba Wedding Florals is $3000.00 

​

Weddings located outside of Toowoomba (more than 25km) have a minimum of $6000.00 -  excluding delivery fees 

(we take a limited number of outside of Toowoomba weddings per year) 

​

The average TWW couple spends anywhere between $7000 -$15,000 on their Florals - and what is created is different for each wedding due to the many variables in wedding flowers and what requirements you have. Of course some couples spend more, some spend less & we are all about working with our couples to bring their florals visions to life whilst ensuring we are aligning with their ideal investment. 

​

We value each and every couple who entrusts us to be apart of their day in anyway, so even if you are not looking for FULL Floral Styling from our service but want us to create stunning BLOOMS for certain aspects of your day we would still love to chat. 

 

DO YOU HAVE A PRICE LIST OR OFFER PACKAGES?

 

NO, In our opinion every couple has their own story, and your wedding should be as unique as you two! We believe no two weddings should be the same which is why each quote we provide is custom to your vision, style and taste.

​

WHAT DO WEDDING FLOWERS COST? 

 

There is no one size fits all when it comes to Wedding florals, there are many variables that come into pricing. Which is why we custom Quote each of our couples. We create weddings from $3000.00 up to $40,000 

​

Something to keep in mind is that you are in charge of where your Floral Quote sits - if you have an ideal budget of say $6000.00 we will curate ideas+designs that align within this in terms of floral design scale+density, this is the same if you have a $30,000 budget, we are going to curate ideas+designs that are going to align within this that suit the aesthetic you are hoping to achieve.

​

We of course want to ensure we are on the same page in terms of expectations with your blooms aswell, the density and size+scale of creations will vary dramatically pending your floral investment so open + honest conversations around this need to be had. 

 

Your ideal floral budget determines the designs we create which is why it is so important to choose a floral designer who's work you love + who you trust & leave it in their hands to design blooms you are going to be over the moon with.  

 

WHY ARE WEDDING FLOWERS SO EXPENSIVE?

 

Honestly, fresh premium flowers are NOT cheap - and having a highly experienced floral designer to create your wedding vision is a luxury! We understand, people are not used to spending large amounts of money  on something that only lasts a week. However, when you book your Wedding Florist you are not just paying for "flowers" you are paying for all that we do behind the scenes.

​

Not sure what that is? 

 

When it comes to Florists – Wedding Flowers and Every day flowers are different on many levels.

For example – when you buy an arrangement from a florist for your home or as a gift to someone – a florist has created this with intention for it to last for some time – they are providing blooms that are still opening so that when they are in your home they continue to bloom and remain beautiful for longer.

 

When we create wedding flowers, these are created with intention to be phenomenal on your wedding day, this means we are ordering your flowers from all over the country and from other countries! We get your flowers in advance, we prep them and care for them to get them to open beautifully ready for your wedding day, we want them to look their absolute best for that day not a moment early and not a moment later.

 

There is also a lot more work involved in your wedding flowers again if we compare the two you walk into/make a phone call to a florist order or choose an arrangement and leave.

When it comes to your wedding flowers, there is so much communication between you and your florist it’s actually quite time consuming in terms of quoting, discussions on your overall vision, communicating with your venue, we sit down and create mood-boards, flower orders with our growers and wholesalers, sometimes quite a bit of back and forth is involved in this process to secure the best flowers & foliage for our clients! Its important we have a great relationship with them aswell.

​

Lets face it every time you email us you are going to expect a response, working with a specialized Wedding Florist ensures you are going to get that response, the high communication is apart of our service to you. 

 

Than lets think of Wedding WEEK!

 

We  collect your flowers, prep them, get them wedding day perfect – store them in cold rooms (which also cost to run, and maintain) and ensure they remain perfect & this is all before your wedding day is even here.

 

Then comes the day – final checking everything, working to the wedding day time-lines. We load them on the day for safe delivery. We use multiple vehicles for this quite often as a wedding on the scale we do does not fit in 1 van load.

 

A wedding is very labor intensive for a florist – in our business for example all of our weddings require work on site aswell – we don’t simply deliver your bouquets and leave.

We deliver your bouquets, buttonholes, we set your ceremony flowers – quite often these are larger scale arrangements, and we complete our design process on site – we clean up after doing this, so your ceremony space is ready for you – we set your reception florals (in our case we are also providing styling items) and set these.

If we are creating reception hanging installations, we bump in at the venue extra early to do so before the tables are set –

We return to the venue to re-purpose ceremony florals into the reception. Then after the wedding we return to pack down, we collect our vases/vessels these of course need to be cleaned in order to use again.

 

Larger scale items require quite a bit of work the next day to pull apart & remove waste all before we return to our studio. (let's not forget the studio mess aswell)

The work involved in the leadup and on the day in order for you to get your flowers is a lot, So when you are in the process of getting quotes from Florists, please keep this in mind, you aren’t simply paying “Flowers” you are paying for that florist's time, experience, labor and their service along with your flowers.

We provide a service and charge accordingly for this. 

​

I GOT A CHEAPER QUOTE FROM ANOTHER FLORIST? 

​

We completely understand that pricing can vary between floral designers, and we'd love to share why our Quotes reflect the vaue of what we provide. 

​

Many Wedding Floral Designers run their business part time or as a hobby, which allows them to charge less. However, we are a full time, fully committed business, passionate about what we do. In order to continue delivering exceptional experiences we must operate sustainably and profitably.

​

Our work is built on sourcing premium flowers - whether imported or from the finest Australian growers - to ensure your wedding florals are of the highest quality. Cheaper quotes can in some cases mean lower grade florals or fewer flowers will be used, which can significantly impact the final result. 

 

It's important to note that no two florists will interpret your vision the same way and you choose us because you resonate with our designs. When comparing quotes, we encourage you to consider not just price but the quality, service and artistry behind the work.  

​

​

CAN I MAKE CHANGES AFTER I HAVE BOOKED? 

​

Yes! 100% you can - we allow so much flexibility throughout the planning process - you can add items as you wish! Alot of our couples book anywhere from 6-18 months prior to their wedding date so understandably things are going to need updating as we get closer to the date. 

However your overall total cannot reduce by more than 10%

​

WE ARE STILL WORKING OUT OUR CEREMONY+RECEPTION LAYOUT IS THAT OK?  

​

Yes! Your initial Quote can be treated as more of a guide - it is a way for you to get an understanding of our pricing structure to work through your ideal budget whilst also gathering together a list of your must haves for your florals!

However there is no need for all of your decisions to be finalized - we allow time for this during the planning process so there is no pressure to make all of your decisions right now. 

​

WE'VE CHANGED OUR COLOUR SCHEME SINCE BOOKING? CAN WE CHANGE OUR FLOWERS? 

​

Of course you can! This is why we encourage you to in the beginning stages to focus on the looks you love in terms of size+density of arrangements this is what really factors in your pricing - so a change of colour scheme isn't an issue at all as long as it is not after the time we have finalized. 

​
