Little Gem Flowers

Little Gem Flowers were very professional and guided me through the whole process. They were so detailed in their quote and were happy to accommodate my requests and also provide extra finishing touches, not just flowers. We were soo happy with the flowers and they were exactly as I wanted. They were very fresh and beautiful. I would recommend them to anyone!

Mel was so easy going and a pleasure to work with. From the first chat on the phone I knew she would execute exactly what I was after for my wedding. And she did not disappoint, even with a slight communication error she fixed up two pinhole bouquets on the spot. I would highly recommend Mel to anyone

Mel was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding flowers. She perfectly matched the florals to our beach theme and the bridal party colours, and her suggestions and knowledge were spot on from the very start. Communication was always friendly, clear, and super responsive, which made the whole process easy and stress free. The flowers on the arbour were especially beautiful and looked incredible on the day. Highly recommend Mel to anyone wanting stunning flowers and a florist who truly gets your vision.

Words don't do justice to the incredible florals that Mel created for our wedding. In the interest of full disclosure, choosing a florist was the hardest decision we had to make across our vendor selection. I had interviewed two florists before reaching out to Mel, one of whom never came back to me with a quote, and the other who I wasn't totally sure 'got' my vision. I knew from the moment I started communicating with Mel that this was the best choice for our day. Apart from having a wealth of experience across both retail, corporate, events and weddings - Mel has such a beautiful and warm personality. She came with the added bonus of having been the chosen florist for two of my friends' weddings that I only realised after looking through her Instagram. Mel has such a great, genuinely collaborative process for helping design the colour palette and feel for your day. I knew that I wanted bright florals, and my brief for our wedding venue and associated florals was somewhat oxymoronic as the vibe I was going for was 'curated wildflower garden". I sent Mel through some images and took my Mum along to our in person 1:1 as she has a lot more gardening expertise and has done some floral arrangements. We narrowed down a list of seasonal flowers and Mel went to great lengths to select a desired 'pop of blue' for my bouquet and Owen's buttonhole that would go with my blue wedding shoes (that were going to be a bit of a surprise). She also custom designed the bridesmaids bouquets to the same selection of florals, but choosing more of a particular shade or flower based on their dress colour, as each bridesmaid had a different shade. I went back and forward a little bit on the types of arrangements I wanted for the venue and changes in our table size/ type, and Mel was so patient in producing updated quotes. She also offered to use her own tea lights to assist with creating a softer lighting option than what the venue offered at a nominal cost. She had quite a small window for the set up due to our ceremony time, but was completely calm and a total pro reassuring me with something along the lines of "we do this, in these timeframes all the time". I also selected plinth arrangements that could be moved and re-purposed to inside of our venue after the ceremony, and I was a bit worried that this economical choice might not be ok with a florist. Mel thought this was a wonderful idea, and was never pushy about suggesting additional arrangements or 'add ons' that are so typical in the bridal industry that would have exceeded my allocated budget. On the day, I absolutely forgot about the flower delivery, I was so focussed on other aspects of getting ready, so when Mel rang my doorbell with the bouquets I nearly burst into tears. They were SPECTACULAR and more beautiful than anything I could have created on a pinterest board. The peonies were the stars of the show, and my Mum kept saying she has never seen so many peonies in that shape or fullness in her life. I knew in that moment that our venue florals would be equally amazing and they were. We had so many people compliment our flowers and say they were the most beautiful they had ever seen. Mel came in and discretely packed down the flowers in the last half hour of our reception and people were able to take flowers home, which was such a beautiful gift for not only my bridal party then, but for all our guests. One of my guests was so taken with the flowers that she took two bunches with her... and somehow got them home to Brisbane! My husband and I kept a couple of them and delivered them to a nursing home the next day, which I hope would have brightened up some of the residents' rooms. Our venue provided the perfect "neutral' canvas to create whatever vision you have in mind for your day, and Mel fully delivered my brief in creating the flowers of my dreams. Thank you so much Mel you are an industry gem and a total legend of a human.

We were absolutely blown away by our wedding florals! Mel understood our vision from the beginning and was so helpful in providing guidance and bringing it to life. Everything was stunning, beautifully arranged, and the vibe we imagined. She went above and beyond - not only creating the most gorgeous florals for the day but also returning at the end of the night to pack everything down and wrap small bouquets for our guests to take home. Such a thoughtful touch that everyone loved. We can't recommend Mel enough.
