FAQs

  • Burnt Sienna Flowers is Western Sydney-based. Yes, we install weddings both inside and outside of the Sydney metropolitan area, including the Central Coast, Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Port Macquarie, Blue Mountains, Camden, The Southern Highlands, Kangaroo Valley, Wollongong and Kiama.

    Please note, that there are sometimes additional labour costs depending on how far our team need to travel, but we will always discuss this with you initially.

  • The amount you choose to spend on wedding flowers is up to you! A general guideline is to allocate 10-15% of your overall wedding budget towards your flowers, but if you want florals to be a significant component of the experience, we recommend allocating closer to 25-30% of your total budget to flowers.

  • Florists come from different backgrounds, skill sets and experiences and often have varying opinions about the quantity of flowers needed to bring a design to life, the overall cost, the labour demands and what is required after you sign the contract. Finding the lowest-priced florist is not always a win as you may also be committing to lower commitment and fewer florals.

    We recommend always doing your research before engaging a florist and looking at examples of their previous work to make sure their style and approach align with yours.

  • Our minimum spend is $3,500 for events within Sydney, excluding simple bridal party flowers and elopements. We have a minimum spend in place to guarantee the highest quality of blooms and designs for your wedding day.

  • Most of our couples choose a floral investment between $5,000-$7,500 on their wedding flowers. Your final spend is ultimately up to you. We offer options that cater to various budgets, to ensure you can have the wedding flowers of your dreams without breaking the bank. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable with your investment decision.

  • It's important to keep in mind that your investment is not just for the flowers. Your floral investment also includes creative support, travel expenses to your venue, set-up fees, and the time and labour involved in creating and arranging each piece. We outline all costs in your floral quote.

  • Floral labour is the physical labour involved in sourcing and creating arrangements. It also includes behind-the-scenes labour such as customising your floral design plan, remaining available for changes and questions until your wedding day, sourcing and processing blooms the week of your event, and composing designs on your wedding day. For full-service weddings, it also includes returning to collect remaining florals from the venue at the end of the night.

  • Yes, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature and weather conditions have a significant impact on the availability of flowers. For example, Peonies are available for a few weeks in mid-spring (most often November). Specific availability often changes from year to year.

If the signed contract and deposit are not provided within the 7-day period, your date will be forfeited.

    8-10 weeks prior to your wedding date we will be in touch to check in and redefine your floral choices, quantities and logistics (if necessary). Depending on how in-depth your event is, we may provide you with a further detailed outline of the elements of your event. In the meantime, we welcome you to email us any new details or inspiration you may find.

    Your final balance is due 30 days prior to your wedding day.
