Wedding Flowers Melbourne – Frequently Asked Questions

The first step is to check our availability by submitting an enquiry through our consultation form. From there we arrange a short initial consultation where Kate learns about your venue, style and priorities for your wedding flowers.

If it feels like the right fit, we prepare a personalised proposal outlining the design direction and investment required.

Most couples enquire 6–12 months before their wedding, particularly for popular dates and venues. Because Kate Hill Flowers accepts a limited number of bespoke weddings each season, early booking ensures your date can be secured.

No. We offer two pathways depending on the scale of your celebration.

Our bespoke wedding flower service includes full design, styling and installation. For smaller weddings or elopements, our Ready Wedding Flowers collection offers beautifully designed bouquets and wedding party flowers that can be ordered online.

Wedding flower costs in Melbourne vary depending on the scale of the celebration, flower varieties chosen and the level of installation required.

Typical guide ranges include:

Bridal bouquet: $250–$550
Bridesmaid bouquets: $180–$250
Buttonholes: from $35
Corsages: $45–$95
Table centrepieces: $120–$750 depending on design and flowers.

During your consultation we guide you through these choices so the flowers align beautifully with both your vision and your wedding budget.

Most couples allocate around 8–15% of their total wedding budget to flowers and styling.

However this can vary depending on the scale of the celebration and how important flowers are to the overall atmosphere of the day. Some couples focus flowers on key moments such as the ceremony, bridal party and reception tables, while others invest in larger floral installations that transform the entire space.

During your consultation we help guide these decisions, ensuring the flowers feel extraordinary while remaining aligned with your priorities for the celebration.

Bridal bouquets in Melbourne typically range between $250 and $550 depending on the flower varieties, size and design style.

Bouquets featuring premium seasonal flowers such as peonies, orchids or garden roses may sit toward the upper end of that range, while more classic seasonal designs can often be achieved within a more moderate budget.

During the design process we ensure your bouquet complements your dress, venue and overall floral styling so it feels beautifully balanced within the celebration.

Flower availability changes throughout the year depending on growing seasons and local conditions.
