Whilst we always try our best to provide you with the colouring you are wanting, we can not always match the colour exactly.

Nature can not be fought and sometimes exact colours are not available. We at Our Flower Studio always try our best to get the colours our brides want or as close as possible.

The ipmortant thing to take note of is that alot of pictures on the internet have been photoshopped and filters have been used on them which changes the true colour of the flower. It is a good idea to speak with your florist and they can tell you the colours that they are avaible in. Also alot of pictures  on the internet are from overseas where colour ranges are much larger and more varied, these colour options are not always availble to us and so can not be guaranteed.

When you go with artificial flowers we can guarantee a specific colour and even create the specific colour for you

Mother nature is unpredictable and that's what makes flowers so beautiful and unique.

Although we are selling flowers on a retail level, we cannot control Mother Nature. We will endeavour to source flowers closest to your preference, and most times, we are successful. However, we need to make all of our clients aware that the final colour is out of our control. 

The hardest colours to source are coral, salmon and varieties of blue.  It's always best to keep an open mind if these colours are your choice!

Flowers are seasonal and are based on what is available. The spectrum of colours that mother nature offers is very broad and so we can only try to the best of our abilities to match a colour request. If you have a generic request such as red roses for example, this is very common and can be ordered in advance. However, if you are after a peach/coral/burgundy in more uncommon flower types, they are trickier to guarantee. 

Hope this helps!
