FAQ
I cater from small, intimate weddings that may only require a few floral components to large weddings that need the whole shebang!
Why use the most natural products in the world, and fill them with chemicals and plastics and then just throw them away? By being sustainable my designs can be reused and fully composted once done. Having spent 7 years working in frog conservtion to help save some of the worlds most endangered amphibians, its important to me that I try to leave as little mark on the environment as possible.
Being based at the bottom of the Dandenong Ranges and the entrance to the Yarra Valley, I love to service this area. However i am willing to travel! Please contact me and we can see what we can do!
This is totally up to you! Many weddings will have bouquets for the Bride/Brides, button holes for the Groom/Grooms and personal wedding flowers for the wedding party- mostly bouquets, button holes or flower crowns.
Then there are Ceremony decorations- perhaps a large installation to get married in front of eg: and arbor/archway or a love nest (semi cricle floor installation). You can also choose to have aisle flowers. I like to suggest, where possible, you reuse the ceremony flowers for the reception as well- this saves on flowers as well as saves money.
For the Reception you may want table flowers and bar flowers.
And don't forget the smaller arrangements- sign flowers, cake flowers and perhaps personal flowers for your parents/loved ones.
You could have all of these or none of these! It's your wedding! Reach out for a chat about what suits YOU, YOUR day, and YOUR venue.
There are many ways to save money on flowers- obviously less flower= less money. This could be simply having boquets and button holes, or it could be only use foliage and greenery instead of flowers.
Reusing your ceremony flowers for your reception is a great way to cut costs and not use more flowers tham you need.
But at the end of the day, some flowers can take potentially years to end up in your hands- sometimes for only a few hours, so they need to be priced accordingly.
I definitely do! I did my own wedding flowers totally out of dried flowers! But mostly I add them to fresh flowers or use them in one element of the wedding eg: table flowers. I use natural processes to dry them myself, and I do not use bleach, dyed or chemically preserved dried flowers.
Someone who communicates well, is reliable and wants to create whatever I want for my special day- whether is be big or small.
Someone who's style matches what I want, and can take as little input or a lot of input from me- and get things done. Someone whos passionate and excited about creating something magical for my special day.

My son and his fiancée are concerned about the flowers wilting due to warm or hot weather.
Frog and Fig Botanicals
As a nature lover- fresh is best. December is a wonderful time to get married- there are tonnes of stunning flowers around which also means there are heaps of alternatives if the day is really hot and your florist needs to switch to some hardier types. A lot of flowers are very hardy- even on hot days. Especially if they are arranged foam free- aka in water! Water can always be topped up and it's the best thing for them to be in if it is really hot. There are so many other things that florists can do behind the scenes to make your flowers will last on a hot day- so choose a good florist who has had experience with this and trust them! I have done flowers on a 42 degree day in the full sun and set them up 2 hours before the ceremony and because of my flower choices, the freshness of using as much local products as possible, conditioning the flowers appropriately and having them in water they looked great for the whole day and the bride, photographer and venue were so impressed on how well they did. So it's totally possible!
Can you source a special flower?
Frog and Fig Botanicals
If the special flower is in season there are many wholesalers that stock many different flowers- so the chances of being able to find that one particular flower is very good! However sometimes flowers aren't grown for the cut market or aren't in season when your wedding day is. If this is the case sometimes we are able to find faux flowers in its place or otherwise flowers with a similiar look/color. This is something I would research and look into before I promised a bride anything, as we are dealing with a natural item and nothing is guaranteed. But if it is out there we will do our absolute best to find it!
