Planning your wedding flowers comes with a lot of questions — and rightly so. From romantic bouquets in Brisbane City to show-stopping arbour installs in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland (hello, Maleny and Montville!), your wedding florist helps shape your whole day.
In this guide, we’ve answered the most common questions couples ask when planning wedding flowers in South East Queensland. Whether you’re tying the knot by the beach in Noosa or having a chic hinterland celebration, you’ll find answers to help you budget, choose the right florist, and design floral moments that wow.
We’ve created this guide to answer the most common questions couples ask when searching for a wedding florist on the Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane — whether you’re planning a lush hinterland affair or a stylish coastal soiree.
Sunshine Coast wedding florals generally start from $1,500–$3,000 for smaller weddings and elopements. Full-scale styling (including ceremony and reception florals) ranges from $4,000 to $8,000+. Prices vary based on flower choice, scale, and season.
Yes — many Brisbane-based florists will travel for weddings, especially to venues in Noosa, Maleny, Flaxton, and Montville. Travel fees may apply, so confirm logistics early in your planning process.
Definitely. Many couples opt to repurpose their arbour arrangements or aisle blooms at the reception to get more mileage from their florals. Your florist and coordinator can manage this during the venue flip — it’s sustainable and budget-friendly.
We recommend booking your florist 8–12 months before your wedding — earlier if you’re planning a peak season date (Sep–May). Early booking means more flexibility with flower choices and time for design planning.
Roses, orchids, lisianthus and ranunculus are popular for coastal and garden weddings in Noosa. Brisbane couples often favour bold natives like proteas or contemporary sculptural florals. Most florists tailor your bouquet to your style, venue and season.
Most wedding floral packages include the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, buttonholes, and a ceremony arrangement (like an arbour or aisle styling). Reception flowers often include centrepieces, bar arrangements, and a statement piece like a hanging installation or cake florals — depending on your vision and budget.
Start by browsing real weddings and florist portfolios to find a style you love. Do you prefer classic, romantic, modern, or native-inspired designs? From there, chat with a few florists whose work aligns with your vibe. A great florist will also ask about your venue, colour palette, and priorities to design something tailored just for you.
Focus your budget where it counts — the bridal bouquet and ceremony backdrop are most photographed. Reuse flowers from the ceremony at the reception, and opt for in-season blooms to save on costs. Simpler table styling (like bud vases or greenery runners) can be stunning and budget-friendly.
Yes — many local florists specialise in Sunshine Coast Hinterland weddings and know the venues well. They’re familiar with the logistics of delivering to places like Maleny Manor, Flaxton Gardens and Secrets on the Lake, and can design florals that work beautifully with the natural surrounds. You can find some of these in our Vendor Directory.
Some hinterland venues have access or setup time restrictions, especially for hanging installations or large-scale styling. Your florist should liaise directly with the venue to plan delivery and setup — it’s one of the many benefits of working with someone experienced in the area.
Choose local, in-season flowers, skip floral foam when possible, and ask your florist about foam-free techniques or reusing ceremony arrangements at the reception. You can also donate your flowers after the wedding or gift them to guests as a keepsake.
This gallery features every style imaginable: from vibrant bold wedding flowers to soft romantic pastel posies, modern minimalist arrangements, boho-inspired textures, sculptural cascading bouquets, and timeless all-white roses. Brides planning Noosa weddings will love whimsical coastal blooms, while Montville and Flaxton weddings suit refined garden-style arrangements with depth and movement.
