Planning your Melbourne wedding and searching for the perfect floral arrangements? At Kate Hill Flowers, we understand that choosing your wedding flowers is a crucial part of making your big day unforgettable. Our Melbourne team of wedding florists is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your floral vision comes to life with elegance and style.

How do we get started?

It's best to start by completing our questionnaire to make sure we're available. From there we can book a Zoom consultation. We’ll listen first, understand what you'd like to achieve, and then map clear next steps so you feel calm and confident moving forward.

Do you have a minimum spend?

No. We don’t require a minimum. We offer two simple pathways so you can plan to your live budget:

  • 'Ready-to-Go' Bridal Range: Beautiful pre-designed pieces with straightforward logistics; perfect for micro-weddings, elopements, shorter lead times, or lighter budgets.
  • Full-Service — bespoke design with on-site installation, transfers and hire; ideal when you want cohesive styling across ceremony and reception.

In your consultation we’ll map the right mix so there are no surprises - just clarity and flowers that feel like you.

How much do wedding flowers cost? (guide only)

Typical ranges: Bridal bouquet $250–$550; Bridesmaid $180-250; Corsage $45–$95; Buttonhole from $35; Centrepieces $120–$750. We’ll guide spend to where it has the most impact and suggest elegant swaps if needed.

When should we book?

Popular dates fill quickly. Enquire 6–12 months ahead if you can. If you’re earlier or later, we’ll advise what’s possible right away.

Do you deliver, install and move flowers between ceremony and reception?

Yes, we offer an end-to-end service. We deliver, set up, and thoughtfully repurpose pieces (e.g., aisle flowers to tables, features to bar/entry). We also collect hire items and can organise next-day gifting.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. We across Melbourne and interstate by arrangement (e.g., Sydney, Adelaide, Tasmania, North QLD islands).

Which flowers are seasonal in Melbourne?

Peonies (late spring), David Austin garden roses (warmer months/limited), Lisianthus (spring–autumn), Cymbidium orchids (winter–spring), Vanda orchids (often year-round in limited supply). We’ll show in-season options and close matches to your look. You can also start by having a browse through our seasonal flower guide.

Can you source out-of-season or specific blooms?

Often, yes. It may require extra lead time and budget. We’ll weigh freshness, sustainability and cost, and offer beautiful in-season alternatives if that’s wiser.

Can you honour cultural traditions or symbolism?

Absolutely. Once you share specific blooms, colours, rituals or structures, we’ll happily incorporate them with care.

Allergies or scent-sensitive guests - can you help?

Yes. We can design with low-pollen or lighter-scent options and advise placement so everyone’s comfortable.

What happens if it's a hot day or rain is forecast?

We always plan with the weather in mind and coordinate with your planner/venue. Shade, hydration, timing and secure installation are planned in advance, with backups if conditions change. There's not much we haven't seen in over 20 years of weddings!

What happens to the flowers after the wedding?

Just tell us your preference. We can style a take-home station for guests, arrange donations where practical, or package pieces for family the next day.

Do you offer hire items?

Yes. We offer premium vaseware, candles, plinths and ceremony structures (including chuppah/arched frames). We also handle set-up and pack-down.

Once we book, can we make changes?

Refinements are normal. We finalise quantities and placement 14 days prior when the balance is due. Late changes do depend on availability.
