A few things you might be wondering…
You don’t need to know everything about flowers before you get in touch.
Whether you’re wondering about budgets, timing or what flowers are in season, you’ll find the answers here. Think of it as a little head start to help make wedding planning feel a whole lot easier.
When should I book my wedding florist?
The sooner, the better.
For peak wedding season, we’d recommend 9–12 months in advance. If your wedding is sooner, still get in touch. We often have space for smaller weddings or last-minute bookings.
What if I don’t know what flowers I want?
No problem.
Most couples don’t.
Rather than starting with flowers, we’ll usually chat about your venue, colour palette, style and budget first. The flowers come afterwards and it’s our job to help you find ‘your flowers’.
How much should I budget for wedding flowers?
Most couples spend anywhere from $3,000 for a smaller wedding through to $10,000+ for larger celebrations with statement installations.
The right budget depends on your guest numbers, venue, flower choices and how much of an impact you’d like the flowers to have. If you’re not sure where to start, that’s completely normal. We’ll help you work through it.
Why are wedding flowers so expensive?
Turns out, you’re not just paying for the flowers.
You’re paying for sourcing, conditioning, designing, transporting, setting up and often packing everything down afterwards.
Then, flowers are actually just way more than you’d think.
Flowers are also seasonal, and some varieties are only available for a short time or need to be imported.
If you’re interested in what goes on behind the scenes, we’ve written more about it in our Notes.
Can you work within my budget?
Absolutely.
Every wedding is different, and we’d much rather create something thoughtful within your budget than encourage you to spend more than you’re comfortable with.
Sometimes it’s simply about choosing where to create the biggest impact.
Do you have a minimum spend?
Nope.
Our minimum spend depends on the type of wedding and location. It’s about being realistic and making sure our costs are covered that’s all, rather than a hard and fast rule.
Get in touch with a few details about your day and we’ll let you know what’s realistic.
Can ceremony flowers be reused at the reception?
Yep, we encourage it.
Many ceremony arrangements can be moved to your reception or turned into an epic photo wall after the ceremony. It’s a great way to make your budget work harder without compromising on the overall look.
Where should I spend my flower budget?
Not on everything.
I’d rather see one beautiful ceremony installation, a well-styled head table and thoughtful bouquets than flowers absolutely everywhere.
Your guests won’t remember how many arrangements there were.
They’ll remember how the room felt.
Do I need flowers on every table?
Nah, not at all.
In fact, we’d often recommend focusing your budget on one or two key moments, rather than spreading it too thin.
A beautiful ceremony installation or statement head table will usually have more impact than flowers on every guest table.
Do you set everything up on the day?
Yes. We’ll deliver, install and style your flowers so everything is exactly where it should be before your guests arrive. If pack down is required afterwards, we can arrange that too.
Do you work with my venue and other suppliers?
Absolutely.
We’ll liaise with your planner, stylist and venue where needed to make sure everything comes together seamlessly on the day.
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes.
We’re based in Christchurch and Auckland, but regularly travel throughout New Zealand for weddings.
If you’re planning a destination wedding, we’d love to hear more.
