Q & A

Roses are a durable and sturdy flower and last fairly well out of water, if constructed the right way.  This is why we have chosen the clustered hand tied bouquet, it supports the roses and petals when the begin to dehydrate. If you re-cut the stems at your reception and place your bouquet in water, your  flowers will most definitely last longer. 

Either way, your bouquet will look fabulous and last the duration of the day, considering you treat them nicely!!

Bouquets With Bling has been designed specifically for roses. We can substitute for another flower if you had a favourite in mind.

Tulips are also a very good choice, but they are available for a certain time of year only.

Unfortunately, larger headed blooms such as Oriental lilies, Most tropicals, and most natives like the Banksia or Protea are too big for this design.  The crystal and pearl clusters get lost in amongst and are very hard to notice.

1.Do you have your gown chosen?  Can you describe it?

2.Do you know what colour your Bridesmaids and the rest of the party are wearing?

3.Have you chosen the colour crystals/pearls you like?

Oh, my luve’s like a red, red rose, That ’s newly sprung in June; Oh, my luve’s like the melodie That’s sweetly played in tune." - Robert Burns

Delivery by me myself is the preferred method.  This ensures the flowers are hand delivered by myself and in perfect condition.  Couriers are used only as a last resort.

I also like to see the Bride on her big day and watch her face when she opens the box to see the flowers for the first time! It still is one of my favourite parts of the business!

Pick Up is an option, but must be organised in advance and an exact time agreed upon.

The vehicle must be air conditioned and large enough to fit the box in completely upright.

Your wedding flowers arrived packaged in a special white wedding box designed for flowers.  Your bouquets will be wrapped delicately in tissue paper to protect the petals etc.

Every natural stem bouquet will be wrapped in a plastic water bag so that it is drinking right up until it is needed for photos.

Its best to leave the bouquets in the box until they are needed and to not handle them before you have to.

Buttonholes, Corsages and Hair flowers will be in a corsage container which can be placed in the Crisper section of a fridge to keep them cool.  The other section your fridge is too cold and may freeze your flowers.

An air conditioned room is best to keep your flowers, or if your accommodation has a cool room specially designed for flowers fruit and vegetables this will also be ok.

At every opportunity, I will personally deliver your flowers to you on your special day.  There is nothing better than seeing a happy bride!

If you are unsure of a colour choice, simply email a picture of your gowns or send me a fabric sample. I can then give you nice suggestions for colour combinations to suit and compliment.

Its sometimes nice to have a slight variation in colours anyway, so that the clusters stand out in your bouquets.

I am happy to organise all your wedding flowers via email and even by phone.

In fact I have done a lot of weddings for Brides living overseas or interstate and they find it easy and pain free to do everything online.

I usually email images of the crystals and pearls and if you can post a sample of the fabric we can use this as a match when ordering the flowers and ribbon.

Yes! There is a link to a website in the Contacts section for bouquet preservation.

Once you have all your colours chosen and your gowns colours are definite then you should think about your flowers.

We usually like between 6 - 9 months notice but this time frame does vary according to bookings and availability.

All quotes are valid for 12 months, anything outside this range is too hard to predict what price changes there may be etc.
