The scope

What Private Celebrations
actually covers

Private jobs are our favourite: no committees, no brand guidelines, just someone who wants their mum to walk in and go quiet for a second.

  • A chat about the person, not just the palette
  • Table florals sized to the food situation
  • An entrance, mantel or photo moment
  • Cake flowers matched to the baker's plan
  • Setup before guests, quiet pack-down after
  • Guest posies or take-home bud vases

How it runs

How Private Celebrations
actually runs

Private jobs run on trust and timing. Most book four to eight weeks out; milestone dates in December go faster.

01 / 4 to 8 weeks out

Tell us about the guest of honour

Their favourite flower, the colour they always wear, the story everyone tells about them. The design comes from that, not a catalogue.

02 / 2 weeks out

Sketch and locked quote

One page: what goes where, what it costs, and what we need from you. Usually just a hose tap and a clear table.

03 / party day

We set, you host

We arrive before the caterers, dress the space, and slip out before the first knock. Pack-down is next morning while you debrief.

Celebrations scale with the guest list and the garden size. These are honest starting points for Hobart metro; country drives add a little.

The Table

$950 / event

  • Florals for one long table, up to 14 seats
  • Cake flowers to match
  • One welcome or mantel moment
  • Setup plus next-day pack-down
Most booked

The Party

$1,800 / event

  • Everything in The Table
  • Second table or grazing-station flowers
  • Entrance garland or small photo moment
  • Guest posies for up to 20 people

The Milestone

$3,200 / event

  • Whole-garden or whole-room florals
  • Freestanding piece for speeches or photos
  • Candlelight and full table styling
  • Up to 40 guest posies

Tight budget? Tell us the number first. We would rather design smart inside $900 than upsell you into something the party does not need.

Recent Private Celebrations
out in the wild

Backyards, mostly. The middle one was a christening lunch that turned into a surprise engagement. We knew, and we kept the secret.

bud vases lined one 12-metre table at a 60th in Sandy Bay. Guests took every single one home, which was the plan.

Client words

They asked what my mum loved, not what I wanted. The whole table was her garden in miniature. She cried, the neighbours photographed it, worth every cent.

Most private jobs come from a guest at the last one. That is the review that counts.

Straight answers

Questions people actually
ask about Private Celebrations

If yours is not here, the form below goes straight to the florist holding the snips, not a chatbot.

Four weeks is comfortable, two is usually fine outside December. Small jobs like a table plus cake flowers can sometimes squeeze into a fortnight.

That is most of our private work. We bring everything, borrow your hose tap if there is one, and leave the garden tidier than we found it.

If you want them to, yes. Bud vase runs and posy cups are built for it, and we can add little name tags so the flowers double as place cards.

Honest answer: under about 15 guests, a few studio-made posies picked up on the day might be all you need. For wedding-sized jobs, look at wedding floral design.
Home installs assume reasonable access: a garden tap, parking within sight of the door, and no prize-winning roses we might trample. Also tell us about the dog. There is always a dog.

Still weighing it up?

Planning a surprise? We are excellent at pretending to be the carpet cleaners. Just tell us who cannot know.
