I have no idea where to start for my event or wedding flowers! Help!
This is such a common question and Prim Petal Co. is here to help. We suggest you start off by submitting a quote request via one of our online forms.
From there, we'll give you an indication of pricing for your day (we call this a disco quote!)
We also offer a 20-minute consultation for our custom clients, to talk through the needs for your wedding, event or corporate activation.
This not only is a chance to get to know you (in a culture of messaging, we like to put a face to a name!) but also provides us with everything we need to setup a more accurate quote (plus it takes away so much to and froing over email!).
If you are looking to keep things small and limited in service, you can check out our micro wedding and elopement options.
What's your minimum spend for wedding flowers?
For a bespoke (or custom) wedding quote, we do require a minimum spend of $1750.
Generally, for a wedding, this would cover off standard items like; bouquets and buttonholes a bridal party of up to 8 (including the happy couple!) and one floral item to use at your ceremony (which could be reused at the reception). Please note our delivery and setup fee is additional and will vary based on your wedding location.
For context, most weddings you see on our social media and website are in the spend range of $2000-$3000.
Please note: Our pricing is carefully considered and based on our sustainable work practices, 10+ years of floristry & event experience, industry knowledge and unique Prim Petal Co. wildflower inspired style, all of which helps us to create a professional and stress-free experience for you.
If you are looking limited service via a wedding flower package option - suited to elopements or smaller weddings, please check out our wedding package options.
What's your minimum spend for events or corporate flowers?
For events (birthdays, engagements or other celebrations) or corporate flowers (lunches, expo displays, conferences, hotels), we do require a minimum spend of $500.
What's your availability like?
We take our work seriously, so only take on one wedding or event per week. This means your day and your flowers get all the attention they deserve.
There are dates are available for November and December 2026 as well as Summer and Autumn 2027 so send us your enquiry - we'd love to work on your wedding or event flowers with you!
We are currently accepting bookings up until October 2027.
Ready to chat? Enquire for either bespoke or custom wedding or package wedding options. Or got an event? Make an enquiry via our event form.
How far out should I book my wedding flowers?
While Prim Petal Co. can accept bookings as little as 4 weeks out for our wedding packages (perfect for the smaller wedding, elopement or those on a budget), the latest we accept requests for custom work, is 6 weeks out due to the work needed by our team to quote, source and finalise your flowers.
We generally only do one wedding per week, so we do recommend making an enquiry and securing your date anywhere between 6 & 12 months out. Ideally you should know your wedding party size, venue, ceremony date/time and have an idea of your colours before submitting an enquiry. But if you're stuck, we are more than happy to provide you with suggestions!
Will you hold my wedding date?
We will place a tentative hold on your wedding date in the period between your enquiry and consultation and then for 14-days after you receive our quote.
Due to the nature of the wedding industry, after the 14-day quote period, if we have not heard from you, your date will be released in our calendar (meaning someone else can book it!).
Your date is only confirmed in our calendar once you submit & confirm your quote AND a non-refundable 30% deposit payment is made.
Do you set our flowers up for us?
If you book bespoke flowers, then yes, you are booking a full-service wedding flower experience. Prim Petal Co. will deliver your flowers to the bridal party accommodations, setup ceremony and reception spaces, and pack down after your event.
Are your flowers real?
Yes absolutely!! We only use fresh flowers for our weddings and events! From time to time we will incorporate dried floral elements but for us, seasonally available fresh flowers are our go to!
Where do you get my flowers from?
Great question! Prim Petal Co. sources local Australian grown flowers first, ideally from Victorian growers. As a general rule, will suggest locally available, Aussie grown flowers when working with you and we will generally not buy imported flowers unless absolutely necessary (we may do so from time to time, due to lack of local supply, we're looking at you gyp and orchids!)
Now by locally grown Australian flowers, we don't mean we only use native flowers like banksias... (although they are lovely!) we use flowers of all kinds; dahlias, carnations, hydrangeas, roses and more, all grown right here is the land of Oz!
The main exception to this local flowers first policy is orchids, due to the consistent lack of local supply, however orchids are purchased by client request only. If you would like orchids included in your quote, please note this in your enquiry form notes. Please note that orchids are a premium item and will increase the cost of your quote overall.
Can I request specific flowers?
We work within your chosen colour palette, style and theme, rather than to specific flowers. We use the freshest seasonal, locally grown flowers available. If you have a specific floral requirement do let us know and we will do our best to source it.
Seasonality plays a role, as we source from Australian growers first, so for example we can’t supply peonies for a February wedding or event as the Australian season is October-December.
What we will do, is provide you with the freshest, most beautiful locally available blooms in your selected colour palette!
What’s your policy on sustainability?
As a business reliant on nature, we feel it’s important to support sustainable floristry practices. Some of our sustainability practices are outlined below;
- We have a policy of never using floral foam (also known as oasis) in any of our work. Floral foam is full of chemicals and microplastics and we believe it’s not an essential part of our design toolkit when there are so many other reusable and sustainable options for florists out there. To read more about the nasties in floral foam check out this article from the Sustainable Floristry Network.
- We gather all soft plastics and reuse wherever possible. Any excess soft plastics are saved and returned to one of our suppliers to be recycled into buckets!
- All our mechanics and vessels are reusable.
- We offer flower pack up service which dismantles your event florals into posies for your guests to take home and enjoy.
- Any floral or foliage not suited to use or repurpose is composted via green waste collection.
- By sourcing local flowers wherever possible, we are reducing flower milage and we offer zoom consultations to reduce the kilometres we travel as part of the consultation process.
Like everyone we are learning everyday more ways to be sustainable so are always open to learning from others and improving our practices!
Do you have candles?
Yes! We offer pearl wax candles for hire in event safe holders. If you choose to add these to your wedding we will set these up with your ceremony or reception florals.
Do you offer hanging floral installations?
At this stage Prim Petal Co. does not offer hanging floral installations, we will secure flowers to existing structures at your event space providing the venue is happy for us to do so (exposed beams, poles , arches, doors etc) or bring in our own towers or vessels to create a lush floral space.
