Things To Consider for the DIY Bride
This option is ideal when you have a group of 3 - 5 people along to help!
To get an idea of floral wholesale pricing, a set of 60 bud vases of seasonal blooms will cost around $400 wholesale at the flower market. We'll use bits and pieces from this to build additional items but typically our clients spend around $700 - $800 on blooms and mechanics. Please keep in mind that roses will yield a higher charge.
In addition to your wholesale flowers, we also charge for the florists time and warehouse space. Allocate two hours for flower market pickup and prep ($160) and 6 hours on the day teaching and advising ($480.)
All building classes take place in our Footscray warehouse studio so that there is ample space and gorgeous light so we can document the day together. You are welcome to bring food and drinks into the warehouse.
We offer equipment for hire such as bud vases, regular vases, plinths and stands. Please let us know if you need these prior to our workshop otherwise, you are more than welcome to bring your own vessels for your flowers. For arrangements that require a more solid foundation (such as trays and chicken wire) we'll build and provide these prior to your building day.
Typically our clients can expect to pay between $1200 - $1800 when opting to build their flowers. Price varies on amount of floral arrangements required.
Unless you have selected to have the florals delivered to your wedding venue prior, all flowers leave with you at the end of the day! It's important to have a nice cool room to store them before the wedding away from furry friends and children. We would recommend your building class take place no longer than two days prior to your wedding.
