WEDDING & EVENTS -TERMS & CONDITIONS
Wedding Quotes
All quotes produced by Fresh Floral Studio are valid for 30 days from the date on the quote form. Quotes not accepted within 30 days will need to be reconfirmed in writing before they can be accepted.
Upon Accepting the quote, you agree to ALL the items listed on the quotation.
Booking Deposit
All weddings and events require a 20% booking deposit to secure/book your wedding/event. Booking deposits are non-refundable under any circumstances as the florist has already spent time liaising with the couples via email, social media and phone or in person developing the quote for your special day.
By paying this 20% deposit, the client secures the services of Fresh Floral Studio for their wedding day/event. Regrettably, Fresh Floral Studio accepts no responsibility if you have a valid quote and wish to book, but your date has become booked out. Bookings will not be held without a booking fee being paid. This amount is credited toward the balance of your wedding flowers if the wedding goes ahead.
The final balance payment is required three (3) weeks prior to the wedding/event date.
Bookings made within one month of the wedding date must be paid in full on acceptance of the quote, as flowers must be ordered in advance.
Please check your order carefully, as Fresh Floral Studio takes no responsibility for any errors or omissions once you have confirmed your final order. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that any item/s are fit for their intended use.
Consultation
Fresh Floral Studio offers an initial consultation during which we ask for as much information as possible about your wedding. We welcome any pictures, colours, styles and delivery/set up information, items needed such as vases etc – anything you have and would like to bring to help us gain a clear understanding of the style of your wedding. This will enable us to give you as detailed a quote as possible. Any arrangements to be made into vases supplied by the client or a venue cannot be accurately quoted until supplied to us. Any changes to containers may also require re-quoting.
You are more than welcome to come into the shop, call or email at any time with any changes or queries you may have.
A final appointment/consultation can be made 4-6 weeks prior to the event date, should one be required.
Flower Selection
Fresh Floral Studio provides a detailed estimate that outlines some of the type of flowers that will be used in your wedding flowers. We understand that in most cases you will see flower names you are not familiar with. We highly recommend that you make yourself familiar with the flowers outlined in your estimate. You can do this via Google or by contacting us.
It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that they are aware and happy with the flower breakdown before accepting the quote.
Where photos have been provided by the client, style and flowers within the images are used as a guide only. Please be aware that a lot of web based images are artificial or edited and colour altered to make an attractive picture – not all the colours are a true reflection of the natural colour.
We do not replicate other florist’s work and we are not in control of seasonal changes or availability. Fresh Floral Studio will endeavour to reflect the style, colour and shape as detailed in the estimate and pictures to the best of our ability. It is important that the client understands that individual flowers, bouquets and arrangements all vary to some degree. Their individuality is what makes them unique and custom to you.
All attempts will be made to source the colours, types of flowers and materials requested. However, please understand that flowers and other floral materials are seasonal and sometimes the items requested are not available. Fresh Floral Studio reserves the right to substitute a requested flower with another of similar design, colour and equal value, should circumstances beyond our control require so – and also if such products do not meet Fresh Floral Studio high standards of product quality.
Reducing/Cancelling Items on the Quote
Upon accepting the estimate, you are accepting the items and agreeing to the value listed on the estimate. Should you need to reduce or cancel items, we are happy to do so, however, no reductions can be made from 30 days prior to the event. There are no refunds for cancellations of individual items within 30 days of the event. Flowers for those items will be utilised to upgrade the arrangements going ahead.
Bookings can be postponed to another date, subject to availability. It is important to liaise with us and all your vendors if you are wanting to postpone.
Late Payment
Fresh Floral Studio will not order your wedding/event flowers or complete any arrangements without final payment. Delayed final payment, resulting in a late flower order, may result in missing out on your desired flower varieties. Fresh Floral Studio will not be held accountable for disappointment or dissatisfaction due to substitution caused by late payment.
Wedding/Event flowers will not be delivered unless final payment is made. Failure by the client to make the final due payment as per invoice due date is sufficient cause for Fresh Floral Studio to cancel the wedding/event.
Cancellations
In the unfortunate event that your wedding/event is cancelled, Fresh Floral Studio requires a notice of 30 days from the client. All cancellations are to be made in writing from the client to Fresh Floral Studio by way of an email.
On cancellation of your event before the 30 days notice; the client will be refunded all money paid, less the non-refundable 20% booking deposit, less any perishable and non-perishable items purchased on behalf of the client for their wedding/event, such as vases, ribbons etc.
Strictly no refunds are extended to the client on weddings/event cancelled within 14 days of their wedding/event. Flowers and/or items for your wedding/event will have been ordered, purchased and cannot be reused or cancelled with their suppliers. Fresh Floral Studio will have blocked out the date in good faith and have lost the opportunity to book another wedding or function.
Hired Items
All hired items vases, backdrops, arbours etc, as outlined in your quote, are the responsibility of the hirer from the point of delivery/pick up to the time the item is returned. All hired items are to be returned to Fresh Floral Studio before the Friday following the wedding. Should any items be lost, damaged or stolen, it is the responsibility of the hirer to pay for the replacement. The cost will be charged at full retail replacement cost + GST + freight.

If the hired items are not returned on the outlined date then we will contact the hirer once (1) in an attempt to have them returned. If the items are not returned within 48 hours from this attempt at contact, the full replacement value will be charged to the credit card provided.
Supplying Your Own Items/Vases
Should you wish to supply your own vases – please ensure they are all clean and have all unwanted A stickers and labels removed. Vases are to be delivered to Fresh Floral Studio 1 week prior to the wedding, in a box that is clearly marked with your name and wedding date. Fresh Floral Studio also reserves the right to not use provided items if they do not reflect the high standards held by Fresh Floral Studio.
You agree and acknowledge that Fresh Floral Studio is not responsible or accountable for any personal injury or negligence resulting from the use of goods supplied to you, or on behalf of you.
Floral Installations and Wet Weather Policy
It is the responsibility of the client to liaise with their chosen event venues regarding the construction of floral installations and hired items that may cause damage. This includes but is not limited to items such as open flame candles, stakes into the ground (particularly grass) and hanging instalments on existing beams and structures.
The responsibility remains with the client to seek permission on behalf of Fresh Floral Studio to complete any hanging, suspended or other uncommon floral installations at the wedding/event venue. Fresh Floral Studio will not be held responsible or liable for any instances where work cannot be completed due to a lack of permission or lack of safety at the venue.
In the case of an outdoor wedding/event the client must have alternative arrangements if weather makes the venue/terrain unsafe for Fresh Floral Studio to safely complete the installation. Eg. Heavy rain, thunderstorms. In this case Fresh Floral Studio reserves the right to implement wet weather plan, if possible (i.e. indoors set up), or installation will not go ahead at the venue.
Delivery and Setup

If your wedding is on a Sunday or public holiday and you require delivery, we have an increased delivery rate to cover the additional staff wages and minimum three (3) hour shift requirements.
All bookings are different and typically, will be arranged on a case-by-case basis. As a general guide, deliveries are made prior to the photographer arriving to ensure they are available for “pre-wedding” pictures. You should allow 30 minutes either side of the scheduled time for delays that may occur which are out of our control.
The delivery details including addresses are confirmed two (2) weeks prior to the wedding/function date. It is your responsibility to ensure we have correct delivery details.
Full Service Set-Ups:
We will set up and pick up as quoted and outlined to your specific destination if you have requested this in your consultation. Delivery times will need to be confirmed with the venue on the week of the wedding.
We will require full access and appropriate working conditions in order to fulfil our order with you. You will need to inform your venue what you have employed us to do and also the time we require to set up on the day. Should we be denied access, be delayed by the venue or any other supplier on the day, be presented with unsafe or hazardous working conditions, we will complete everything to the best of our ability, however, in extreme circumstances, if we cannot complete the job, due to no fault of our own, we will leave the products at the venue. Should other last minute decisions be made due to any unpredicted circumstance, we will advise the venue manager and the issues relating to the decision.
Fresh Floral Studio is not responsible for items once delivery has been completed.
