Can I choose specific flowers or a custom colour palette?
The Wedding Flower Packages have been carefully considered to include flower palettes that will be available in every season, and suitable for our weather conditions.
White flowers are a premium due to their delicate petals. We allow for a maximum of 10% white or cream flowers in our Studio-made Packages.
Bold Bespoke Design and Styling services offer a more comprehensive involvement in your finished flower story.
Can you tell me more about the Bold Botanical Flower Style?
Our flowering style is unique to Bold Botanicals and has developed based on years of research, our Designers eye and what is available as locally grown flowers.
Our investment in local growers ensures we follow the flow of the weather, best availability and to make sure there are flowers in the future.
Seasonal Garden is what the local farmers are growing at the time of your celebration. Think more ‘fluffy’ and pretty cottage flowers such as Lisianthus, Stock, Garden Roses, Hydrangea, Spider Gerberas, Jonquils or Daffodils. The style is like a natural garden or meadow. Complimenting greenery will suit the colour palette.
Modern Australian Native is our Bold Botanicals signature style. We source stunning Australian grown wildflowers such as Leucospermum, Banksia, Proteas, Blushing Brides, Grevillea or Leucadendrons. The heros are complemented by an array of Gums, fragrant wax flower and unique foliages.We mix in some seasonal flowers too to soften the look, unless specified on your notes.
Mixing these two types of flowers creates a magical synergy that is unique and beautiful, whilst robust for outdoor weddings and our weather!
We are fond of Contemporary Minimalist when your request an arty and avant garde bouquets. Think sculptural leaves and branches... flowers may be Calla Lily, Amaranthus, Echineaca, Siam Lily or lotus pods! An edgy enmasse design in one flower colour or a bouquet with luscious architectural leaves framing the hero flowers.
How far in advance can I order a Wedding Flower Package?
You can book your Wedding Flower package a maximum of three months in advance. We review the Package pricing every Quarter to be in alignment with the Market prices.
If you want to secure a date up to 12 months away, we can arrange a Save the Date Holding deposit to lock in your date with us.
Can I book the Date now and think/dream/talk about the flowers closer to the date?
Absolutely - yes!
For Wedding Flower Packages, you can schedule your call with us to conform details, a maximum of 2 weeks before the event.
For a Bold Bespoke Wedding, we have a process in place to gather the Brief and create your custom Proposal.
We accept a non-refundable fee to lock in the date with us up to 12 months in advance.
We know you are developing ideas and changing your mind on flowers, and palette so nothing is locked in.
Can I have a hanging display or ceremony arch?
Yes please - we love making statement designs with impact. These designs will be a Bold Bespoke Wedding.
Made at the venue insitu by our team of florists, statement designs are tailored to each budget and venue.
Being labour-intensive and flower heavy, hanging designs are a bigger WOW investment pieces starting at $1000+ to $3-4000 on average.
For wedding packages, we have recommended flower designs that can move from Ceremony to Reception easily - however hanging designs are not included.
Do I have to tell you my budget for the Flowers?
Oh yes! Please and thankyou.
There's no use designing the Taj Mahal if you have a Tiny Home budget. Get my drift?
Bold Bespoke Weddings can be created and tailored to your preferred investment spend. That's our specialty and secret ninja skill!
To make this easier for you, our Style Guide will outline some ballpark pricing to give you an understanding of types of design and their costs.
With 25 years of the Design Process under our belt - let us guide you on how to best get impact with your flowers.
We are working on crafting some Bespoke Packages that will show you what is possible for our most popular price points of $5000 - $8000 - $10,000 (+ labour costs, as a variable depending on venue and location.)
We spend a lot of time on research, basing the selections or recommended flower designs on factors such as the venue and the install time available to us.
Can I customise the Wedding Flower Package?
We pride ourselves on putting together on trend and classic designs for the Wedding Flower Packages.
The key to the packages is supplying impactful flowers for your personal flowers - your bouquet, buttonholes, ceremony arrangement and table flowers.
The packages do not include labour-heavy or delicate designs that require onsite installation and finessing by a florist. Designs such as corsages, hanging displays or non-transportable designs are for Bold Bespoke Weddings.
Many reasons make up the wedding products on offer:
- Our most popular wedding designs for smaller events
- Our Bold clients wanting a fuss-free solution and relish letting us to make the creative decisions
-Making sure the flowers are convenient & easy to transport from studio-made to the event.
-The time to make the designs to keep the pricing as the best value
We have add-on options available for the luxury finishing touch such as:
premium keepsake vases to keep;
pimp me with premium flowers like Orchids;
long trailing silk ribbons
Are there any flower colours difficult to source?
Yes, indeed.
Blue, blue and blue. Did you follow that blue is tricky? If you are set on this colour - please choose Spring to get married as we have Delphinium, Cornflowers and Hydrangea readily available.
Do you send me a proposal?
We offer a personalised Visual Proposal as part of the Bold Bespoke Design and Styling service only.
You do a lot of colour. Can I have a white flower wedding?
YES - of course you can!
In the Wedding Flower Packages, we allow a maximum of 10% in white or cream flowers for 'pop'.
We always put a BOLD twist on a white wedding and really enjoy them too! White flower weddings will be a Bold Bespoke Wedding option.
White flowers are a premium option as the petals are more delicate and require special care and conditioning, plus we purchase extra quantity to allow for wastage.
Question
Answer
How many types of flowers will be in my Wedding Flower Package?
This is a great question!
We design to create the "overall effect" of the bouquet or arrangement.
The number or type of flowers will depend on the size of the package you select.
When we have our phone consult, we will ask your preferred style or may make suggestions that include single variety flower looks. This is a gorgeous way to 'hero' a flower.
We source 'per event' to ensure freshness. Flowers are sourced by the bunch, so we plan your design around using the whole bunch of flowers in your order.
We are a fan of mixing foliage in with the flowers, for both structure and for the effect.
Flower-heavy designs with minimal foliage are Contemporary Minimalist and we love to create this flower story as a Bold Bespoke wedding.
If you are not sure, go by the visual image examples we have showcased from previous Bold weddings in our Style Guide.
Do you have a ‘What Flower is in season Guide’?
Fancy you should ask, as we are working on it right now!
Rather than putting generic imported flowers on the list, we have built up knowledge and researched over many years to curate our Bold Botanicals Flower Seasonal Guide.
Stay tuned for the launch!
As we are so influenced by weather and the climate change effects, we can never make guarantees of supply.
We rely on our relationships with local flower farmers & regular market visits to inform our choices.ying a specific flower.
We use locally grown roses, not imported so you can research on Grandiflora's website for colour reference.
What are the Delivery Options?
Can I arrange delivery for my Wedding Flower packages?
Yes, indeed.
We offer Delivery within Sydney metro areas Monday to Saturday for a fixed price.
This is a drop off service only, not including placing flowers in position at your venue or to multiple locations. This service will be provided by our trusted Courier or a Driver.
We do not offer Pickup usually, as we may be onsite doing another event.

Are there any dates on the calender not available for weddings?
Oh lordy lordy - yes!
We will block out dates on our Calender based on our other business activities and key dates affecting the flower market.
December - every Saturday we do Christmas workshops, so bespoke installs are not available.
If you consider booking events within two weeks of these dates, the flower prices can jump up to 30% as a premium. The pricing will be adjusted to allow for this.
(Hint: which is why the venue may be available!).

An event contract is standard Bold Botanicals practice and prepared for all events over the value of $1000 + GST.
