Your wedding flowers are more than just decorations - they set the tone, add personality, and bring your celebration to life. With so many talented florists in Melbourne, finding the one who truly “gets” your vision can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re dreaming of a whimsical garden party or a bold, modern aesthetic, this guide will help you choose the perfect florist for your special day.
Understand Your Floral Style & Priorities
Before booking consultations, reflect on what matters most to you:
- Do you love romantic, soft-toned arrangements or bold, vibrant colours?
- Are you drawn to loose, natural designs or structured, formal arrangements?
- Is sustainability and local sourcing important to you?
Tip: Gather inspiration images, Pinterest boards, and colour palettes. Florists like Ripple Studio specialise in working with clients to translate these into a cohesive design plan.
Research Melbourne Florists Who Match Your Style
Melbourne is home to a diverse floral community—from traditional florists to boutique artisans like Ripple Studio who offer a more personalised, hand-crafted approach.
Look for florists who:
- Showcase similar aesthetics in their portfolio.
- Use seasonal, locally grown flowers.
- Offer custom design services rather than “package” floristry.
Pro Tip: If you love styling details like silk ribbons, ensure your florist incorporates these elements naturally.
Questions to Ask Your Florist Before Booking
When you’ve shortlisted a few florists, book a consultation and ask:
- How do you select flowers for each event?
- Do you work with seasonal and local blooms?
- Can you help with styling elements like ribbons, table settings, or installations?
- How many weddings do you take on per season?
- What’s your process from consultation to event day?
