Our Hobart flower blog: honest notes on wedding flower costs, seasonal Tasmanian stems, ceremony arches that handle the wind, and what really goes on inside an event florist's studio.
Fresh off the bench
The posts people keep
forwarding to each other
Money, seasons and wind, in that order. These three get passed around Hobart group chats more than anything else we have written.

Questions to ask an event florist before you pay a deposit
Eight questions, and the answers that should worry you.
Get the checklistWhy a florist keeps a journal
We write down what the
installs teach us
Every event leaves a lesson behind. Which stem gave up in marquee heat. Which arch base held in a 40 knot southerly.
So we write it down here, half memory and half maintenance log. Mostly it is the stuff we wish people knew before they rang.
- Written by the people holding the snips
- Prices and seasons specific to Tasmania
- No sponsored filler, ever

The Journal is general advice from our studio, not a quote. Every venue, season and budget differs, so treat the numbers as a starting point and ask us about your date for anything binding.

The tags are loose on purpose. Flower care sneaks into corporate posts and wind advice shows up at weddings.

One email a month-ish,
when there is news
What is blooming at the farms, a styling trick worth stealing, and the odd story from a van breakdown. We skip months when nothing happens.

This week
The dahlias are early
Growers near Richmond called it two weeks ahead of schedule: dinner-plate dahlias are cutting now. If your March wedding wants them, speak soon.
Last fortnight
Arch base, version four
We towed the new base behind the ute into a 35 knot southerly across the Domain. It held. Back to the bench anyway, version five can be lighter.
Last month
The ribbon shelf has labels
Four years of "grab the blue one, no the other blue one" are over. Whoever labelled the shelf gets first pick of the good scissors this week.
A while back
The van hit a round number
300,000 km of deliveries logged. We marked it with a wash and a servo pie, then loaded it up for Saturday anyway.
