I just got engaged! Now what?

Firstly, congratulations! It is an exciting time, but we knowww it can be overwhelming figuring out what to think about. For our newly engaged enquirers, we typically send out the following list of questions for you to consider. This also helps us make a semi-accurate quote for you.

• What colour scheme are you thinking?

• What style of bridal bouquet would you like? e.g., traditional/tight, trailing, rustic… What will make this stand out from the bridesmaid bouquets?

• How many bridesmaid bouquets? Style preference?

• How many boutonnieres? Style preference?

• Any ceremony flowers? e.g., arches, pew, aisle, welcome sign etc.

• Flower girl?

• Reception flowers? Think guest tables, head table vs sweet heart table etc.

• If you want guest table florals, it helps us to know the shape and length of tables so that we can advise on best options i.e., bud vases vs arrangements.

• What is your budget? (we cannot guarantee we can meet this, but it helps us to know so that we can make suggestions to better suit your budget)

• Where will the event(s) be located?

• Drop us the link to your pinterest vision board!

What if I change my mind about what I wanted?

Understandable! Our only constraints would begin around 3-6 weeks before the event. We can absolutely add things to your order, but we will not be able to change or remove anything in that 3-6 week period prior.

Why are wedding flowers so expensive?

We hear you, and trust me, we feel it too. People tend to have this misguided assumption that flowers grow and therefore are cheap. We wish! But alas, this is not the case :( The slightest blemish deems the quality reduced, and while this might swing for a standard gift bouquet, it does not align with us to use anything but the best quality blooms for your event. There is also the question of seasonality, with out of season flowers driving up costs. Furthermore, event floristry is hard work! There is intensive labour involved, usually the entire week in the lead up to your event- this includes prepping, stripping, cleaning, designing, temperature maintenance, storage, careful handling, delivery, set-up/installation, pack-down, the list goes on! A standard gift bouquet or arrangement has much less time and labour and care involved than event flowers. However, we are more than happy to sit down with you and figure out how best to align with a budget. We try our best to be honest and transparent around pricing!

What should I expect when booking you?

1. First, get in touch via email! Give us as much information as you can - wedding date, venue location, a rough idea of flower requirements (use the template of questions we noted in the first FAQ). Send any inspiration photos along with this email to so that we have an idea of your aesthetic and sizing requirements.

2. We’ll reply to you and give you a quote based off your information.

3. We’ll send a link for a video call (or just a phone call) to discuss your vision and finalise your quote!

4. Once you’re happy with everything, we’ll send through an invoice to make your 10% deposit to secure your date. The full amount will be due 3 months before your wedding (or when we specify).

5. Relax! It’s all done- we’ll stay in touch & any questions along the way are just an email/call away. We’ll be in touch a few weeks before your date in any case to finalise timings and ask for details of who our key contacts should be on the day (so that we are not bothering you while you are getting your hair and makeup done!).

6. On your wedding day we’ll deliver all your bouquets and boutonnieres to wherever you’re getting ready & then head off to your venue/s to set up your gorgeous ceremony and reception florals and bring your final vision to life!

7. If pack down is required, we will arrange that with the venue key contact the following day. Happy honeymooning!

How far in advance do I need to book?

The sooner you book, the better—ideally, we recommend reserving your wedding date at least 4-6 months in advance.

That said, we’ve successfully handled weddings with shorter notice! If your date is available, we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

What is your refund policy?

Generally speaking, your deposit will not be refunded if you cancel your wedding less than two months before your wedding day. This is because we have likely put in some prep work or purchased items we need. However, we handle this question on a case by case basis. When in doubt, just ask us!

How much should I expect to spend?

Wedding flower prices can vary significantly due to several factors, including the size of the arrangements, the types of flowers chosen (some are pricier than others), the number of blooms, the complexity of the setup, and the venue location. We’ll provide you with a customized quote based on your specific needs, and we will try our best to make your budget work if possible. Most of our couples typically spend between $3,000 and $7,000 on their wedding flowers.

Do you have a minimum spend?

For weddings outside of Auckland (including Waiheke), we have a minimum spend of $3500. Otherwise, inside of Auckland we have a minimum spend of $2000.

What happens to the flowers after the wedding?

You’re welcome to take all the flowers! If you’ve used any of our vases/vessels just be sure to take the flowers out of them and leave them behind for us to collect.
