Weddings

Given each wedding we work on is completely bespoke, we like to spend time getting to know you and what's in your head. Your style individually and as a couple, what you want your wedding to represent, how you want it to make you feel, and your general vibe - all this is very important to us. By getting to know you well, it helps us personalise your wedding and bring your ideas to life.

As a team, we're down to earth, creative, adaptable and all about the details. Whether it be just emails, a quick phone call, and/or a consultation via video call or in-person - we have an initial conversation with you that enables us to understand what you may want for your wedding (the "scope"). From there, we'll create a personalised quote for you, which typically also includes design and spend suggestions to provide you with options.

We understand that for many new couples getting married for the first time, it may be a daunting affair. You may not know where or how to start thinking about things - please know that this is totally okay and expected. This is where we come in and support you through this exciting and new process. Ask as many questions as you want, and we'll help you where we can.

Ultimately, we believe that strong trust and confidence in your wedding vendors, whoever they end up being, are very important. It's the key to making your entire wedding planning process enjoyable and as stress-free as possible! 🙂

At Lime Tree Bower, we offer full service wedding design and planning services, and typically adapt our services to each couple accordingly to their needs. We can be your wedding florist, wedding stylist, wedding planner, and/or on the day coordinator.

Wedding styling is creating and designing elements beyond just the flowers, to make sure everything is harmonious and on theme. This could include the table settings, menus, candles, balloons, signage... basically anything decorative.

Wedding planning can be interpreted in different angles, but effectively "planning" is everything creative behind the scenes. Even for just wedding floristry, there's a lot of planning involved in terms of colour and floral selection, ordering, logistical planning etc. However when it comes to "wedding planning" as a specific service, your planner helps you with research, sourcing vendors, budgeting, getting quotes, communicating with vendors, and designing what the day will look like. Many couples plan their own wedding and do this work themselves, but if you're pressed for time or don't enjoy planning, delegating this to a wedding planner can be more efficient.

On the day wedding coordination is a separate service that happens on the big day itself. Think of your coordinator as your go-to person for everything and anything on the day - they help problem solve, make sure things go to plan, is the main contact point for your vendors and venue, and support the running of your day with a runsheet so it can be as smooth and distraction-free as possible for you.

This is a very difficult question to answer, given there are many variables to consider. Everything from your wedding size, location, the scope itself, design preferences, the level of services required… it all comes into play.

Beyond the design and decor, there's logistical / labour fees to take into consideration when budgeting. The on-site set up, travel, delivery of flowers, after hours post-event packing up etc. When we provide you with our quotes, we often separate this logistics component outside of the decor deliverables cost, so it's clearer to understand.

As a very rough guide, we've found the following range splits might be helpful to work off initially (note: this is assuming mostly florals, some decor / hire items, plus logistics): $4-7k for simpler weddings, $8-12k for something with a bit more scope or wedding size, $15-25k for larger scale and scope weddings, $30k+ towards the more luxurious end.

The larger your wedding scope and size is, we generally recommend the earlier you begin sourcing your vendors. Ideally, we would suggest to begin enquiries once you have a venue and date locked in. This could be anywhere between 6 - 12 months prior to your wedding date.

Having said that, if you need more support with wedding planning and venue choices, then even sooner. If your wedding date is taking place during a weekend in peak season (typically Spring and Autumn in Australia), we recommend enquiring as soon as you can. Some dates can get booked out much sooner than others.

We have the capacity and experience to comfortably take on multiple events on the same day, however may not always do so, depending on what else we have on that same day.
