Wedding Florals FAQ

Feel free to contact me if your question isn’t answered below.

The best way to get the ball rolling is to use the wedding contact form. This gives me useful information to get started and we can plan from there. If you’d prefer, you can email or call.

  • I’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
  • We’ll chat about what you want for your day.
  • I’ll send you an estimate tailored to your wedding.
  • When you’re ready, I’ll send an invoice and you’ll secure your date with a deposit. The deposit is 20% of the total, or $100, whichever is greater.
  • Yay, your florals are sorted! You can reach out to me at any time, and I’ll be in touch closer to your day to finalize logistics.

Most couples secure their date with me 6 – 12 months before their wedding, but shorter time frames are possible too.

Yes. I regularly design and create wedding florals for international couples who are planning from afar for their Matakana wedding. We can handle everything online, making it just as easy as if you were local.

No. I enjoy creating for small weddings and elopements just as much as larger celebrations. I’m happy to provide just a bridal bouquet and boutonniere, a single arrangement, or whatever your situation requires.

As a private studio, I have the experience and flexibility to accommodate small and large scale projects, allowing me to design something suitable for each couple.

Understanding how much you’re comfortable investing in your florals means we’ll start on the same page. It helps me to choose appropriate flowers/scale/mechanics, suggest realistic options, and design within your boundaries.

There’s no set price for items because they can vary so much. Flower varieties, size, mechanics, time of year, and budget, all factor into it.

Also, two couples could utilize the same investment very differently based on their priorities, with one choosing sleek, simple wedding party flowers and two larger venue pieces, while the other chooses full, bountiful bouquets, intricate boutonnieres, and a whimsical array of bud vases for their venue.

With that being said, here is the average spend for a few items using seasonal flowers to give you an idea:

  • Bridal bouquet ~ $250
  • Plinth arrangement ~ $350
  • Arch piece (partial/corner) ~ $650

You’ll get figures tailored to your situation when I send you your estimate.

Pinterest is a great place to find palettes and moods, and to show me, your florist, what you have in mind, so it can be really helpful.

There are some extravagant, gorgeous installations featured which come with a significant price, and there’s a lot of equally beautiful, more attainable inspiration too.

Regardless of the scale of your wedding, I find the best outcomes are when we start with your budget, venue, and overall feeling, then design what will work best from there, rather than trying to force something to fit. That way we’ll create florals uniquely for you and your wedding.

Yes, I’ll grow something solely for your day. It adds a special layer of meaning having flowers that were brought into existence just for your wedding. Depending on your overall vision, that can mean anything from a single element and I source the rest, to growing everything here in Matakana.

Yes. I garden using regenerative methods, and the flowers I grow for you are nurtured with compost I make onsite here in Matakana. I don’t use any synthetic sprays or fertilizers.

I can occasionally supply cut flowers, on a case by case basis – I prioritize garden space and time for the couples who choose me as their florist. You are welcome to get in touch to see if I have availability.
