The working agreement Quotes to strike Updated November 2026

Terms of Service

The agreement between you and Floral Decor House: how quotes, deposits, changes and weather calls work before we put a single stem in the van.

01. Quotes and bookings

Every event starts with a written quote. Quotes are valid for 30 days and itemise flowers, hire pieces, labour, delivery and strike, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

  • A booking is confirmed when the 30% deposit lands. Until then the date stays open.
  • The balance is due 7 days before the event, together with final guest numbers.
  • Changes after booking are fine within reason and are confirmed in writing with any price difference.

02. What we deliver

We deliver what the proposal says: the palette, the stem list, the vessel count, the install and the strike. If a listed stem is unavailable at market we substitute within the same colour family and tell you before the day.

Install needs venue access at the agreed time and a contact on site. If a venue locks us out or shifts access, extra labour may be billed at cost.

Read this page together with the refund rules.

Cancellation percentages, reschedules and force majeure are set out on the Refunds and Cancellations page. Taken together, that is the whole agreement between us.

03. Weather and outdoor events

Hobart weather gets a vote. Every outdoor piece carries a wind rating, and every outdoor plan carries a fallback position agreed before the day.

We make the final weather call together at a set cutoff, usually the morning before. If a client asks us to install against our stated wind rating, they accept the risk of damage to the arrangement itself. Injury and property risk are never negotiable.

04. Liability, honestly stated

Flowers are alive. Petals drop, colours shift, a stem may wilt early. That sits within normal expectations and is not a defect.

We hold public liability insurance for installs. Our total liability for any claim is capped at the amount you paid us, and we are not liable for damage caused by guests, other vendors or the venue.

05. Cancellations and disputes

Cancellation tiers and reschedule rules live on the Refunds and Cancellations page and form part of these terms.

If something goes wrong we would rather fix it than fight it. Talk to us first; if we genuinely cannot sort it, disputes are handled in Tasmania under Tasmanian law.

The sixty-second version

If you only read one bit, read this

Quotes hold for 30 days. A 30 percent deposit locks your date. The rest is due a week before install.

Weather turning nasty is a conversation, not a penalty. The full rules are below.

Never changes

  • We answer every email within one business day.
  • Your details stay in the studio, not in ad networks.
  • A quote in writing beats a promise on the phone.
  • If our paperwork confuses you, that is on us. Ask.

Worth saying out loud: this page is general information for our clients and site visitors, written the way we would explain it across the bench.

It is not legal advice for your specific situation. For that, talk to a qualified professional in Tasmania or your home state.

Something unclear? Ask a human.

Email floraldecorhouse@gmail.com or call +61 7 3218 4705. The person who answers is usually the one holding the snips.
