    I'm not lying when I say that the flowers were my favourite thing about my wedding. The vision I had in my head was only the beginning, Nerija and the team at Lime Tree Bower blew my expectations out of the water. The team were so friendly and lovely. They gracefully allowed me to change my mind a few times, elaborate on my original plan and workshop with me to really nut out the final specs. It was such a lovely collaborative experience. I never once doubted that when I walked through the reception doors that it wouldn't be magical. And the flowers were unreal; high quality, bright and fresh.

    Ladies, you get what you pay for. And Lime Tree Bower is well worth the money! 10000/10.

    I couldn't recommend Helen and the Lime Tree Bower team more.
    From our very first email Helen took the most daunting part of wedding planning (for me) and made it an absolute breeze. With my frank admission I had absolutely no idea about flowers Helen carefully walked us through the steps and helped us find our wedding vision and then brought it to life. The end result was better than I could even have wished for! We are so grateful for your hard work and awesome vision! I cannot thank you enough for your support and guidance through planning our wedding x.

    Nerija & her team were outstanding to work with for my wedding florals. The communication in the lead up to the day was prompt, the prices were very reasonable and the execution on the day was perfect and exactly what I wanted. Would highly recommend Lime Tree Bower to anyone looking for their wedding florals!

    We used Lime Tree Bower for our wedding in Centennial park and the reception at the Centennial Homestead. From first contact they were fantastic professional and ensured every little detail was attended to and the end result on the day was just amazing. We had so many comments on the day about how beautiful the flowers were and how amazing the set-up was. A fantastic company, and we are so glad we were also recommended to use them!

    I could not thank Lime Tree Bower enough for our wedding flowers. I asked for texture and colour and that is exactly what we got. They were super easy to work with, and gave me some lovely suggestion that really helped put my vision together within our budget, also having someone return at the end of the night to bunch up our table flowers for guests to take home was amazing, and a great way to know that more people enjoy our flowers. I would definitely recommend to use Lime Tree Bower for your next event.

    Nerija and the Lime Tree Bower team did the most spectacular job with our wedding flowers! They absolutely nailed the 'summery sorbet fiesta' brief and brought the party to life with colour and whimsy. From quotes to post-event organisation, everything ran smoothly and the team were always responsive and easy to communicate with. I don't hesitate to recommend LTB to friends and they're always my go-to for bouquets for special occasions or gifts.

Sydney Small Wedding Florist FAQs

How far in advance should we book you in for our wedding?

We find that most of our couples planning an intimate and small wedding reach out 2-3 months prior to their wedding date.

Feel free to get in touch when you're ready - this could be earlier or later than the aforementioned time period. Ideally, we would recommend booking your florist at least a month ahead of your wedding date.

Can you accommodate super small weddings, like just a single bridal bouquet and buttonhole, for example?

Yes, definitely!

If you're having a super micro wedding and literally only need one or two simple items, that is totally fine. We do not have a minimum spend for intimate weddings.

When do you design everything and source the flowers prior to the wedding?

Multiple variables come into play that goes into our detailed planning schedule for each wedding week. Depending on the season and weather, the types of flowers being used, how much time is available at the venue to set up, and the style of arrangements, we could be sourcing and design your flowers from a few days to the day prior to your wedding day.

We expertly select flowers that we know will be at its perfect peak on your wedding day, depending on how long it takes for particular flowers to open up and be at its prime, and weather considerations.

Do you work with silk or dried flowers?

We typically work mostly with fresh flowers. From time to time, we may use some silk or preserved and dried flowers, depending on the context and purpose behind it. From a pure cost perspective, quality silk flowers that look actually real are much more expensive than fresh flowers.

I don't think we need much for flowers but not sure what best to spend it on - can you help me?

Most definitely. With our expertise, we can knowledgeably share and recommend what will and won't make an impact for your small wedding or elopement.

Usually a bouquet or similar, plus something decorative for the ceremony is most cost effective, particularly if it can be repurposed afterwards!

I'm getting a few quotes from different florists, and I'm not sure why they differ so much, why is this the case?

With any creative trade, in the same way getting a haircut changes between salons, floral design pricing differs due to several variables that combine to form the price: the designer's experience and how much they value their work in terms of labour rates, their design style and assumptions of volume/size in scope, and profit markup.

Pricing also differs from ready made gift bouquets in retail florist shops due to the level of customisation and higher quality of floral selection and care involved in wedding floral designs; this is in addition to the behind the scenes planning and communication working with wedding clients. We go into more explanation about why pricing will differ in this blog post.

How do I know what flowers to expect to receive on the day?

We hand select at market ourselves the highest quality mix of seasonal and premium flowers for your wedding. We can help you with understanding what is "typically" in season during your wedding month, however since flowers are a natural product and affected by changing, unpredictable weather conditions, we can't guarantee availability. For example, local peonies are a summer crop but low rainfall and high temperatures can impact volume, quality and availability during your wedding week.

This is why working with you to understand your visual theme is important to us as designers! Whether it be via a handful of images, a Pinterest board and/or a mood board we design for you to deeply understand your floral style. We do our best to include your preferred flower types, but if for whatever reason they're not available or too low a quality, we can confidently consult substitute other varieties based off your palette.

Where are you based - could I pick up, or do you travel and do weddings outside Sydney?

We work out of our studio & shop located in based in the lower north shore Sydney suburb of Northbridge. We travel and often do, to design and flower up beautiful weddings all over NSW, including the Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Camden and the Central Coast.

Interstate and overseas destination weddings are also possible, and include a higher logistics fee to take into consideration additional travel & accommodation requirements.

You are also able to organise your wedding flowers to be picked up from our shop during opening hours, to save on delivery.
