Weddings & Events

Weddings are us! This is what we do day in day out and this is what we love and specialise in.
With over 25 years experience in the industry you can be assured we know what we are doing.

Our attention to detail and commitment to the art of floristry creates a modern and individual feel.
This goes hand in hand with the romance of every wedding we create.

Our style incorporates garden blooms, with natural elements and lush foliage, textural, botanical, organic and defiantly a little wild!

As every wedding is different our vision is to create unique individual wedding flowers for your special day!

Appointments

As each wedding is different there are different levels of communication required.

No matter what the size of your wedding you will receive 2 in studio consultations, unlimited email and phone communication.

We are here for you to support you through the entire process.

Appointments are available 7 days a week with after hours appointments also available. During our wedding season Fridays, Saturdays and Some Sundays can be difficult but we are here to accommodate your schedule.

As your wedding date draws closer we like to create a flower bar with all the blooms we intend on using in your wedding florals. This is a lovely way to see the vision all come together. This is done generally 2 -3 weeks from your wedding date.

Location

287 Mona Vale Rd
Terrey Hills

We conduct all our appointments and meeting from Hills flower market.

Hills is a large flower market on the northern beaches and has Tastebuds Cafe attached so why not make it a day and book in for lunch or coffee!

We are by appointment only.

How We Work

We love that every wedding is different, and every couple unique. It is truly a pleasure meeting and working with our lovely couples, and creating florals that are a representation of their love and commitment.

We believe in simple and stress free processes, our online inquiry form is easy to complete and gives us a little run down on your details and place to start.

Once you submit your inquiry form you can expect to hear from us within 48 hours, unless we are working on a wedding or event (which is generally the case Thursday – Saturday).

Our ‘office days’ are generally Monday – Wednesday.

During peak wedding season September to April it sometimes takes a little longer to get back to you.

Always feel free to give us a call or text anytime – Amanda 0402 362 389

When we contact you we will:

  • Confirm our availability.
  • Set a phone consultation or face to face meeting
  • Once we have all your information and a clear vision of what you require you will then email your formal quote
  • We then require a confirmation email accepting our quote and an invoice will be issued with deposit details once the deposit is paid your date is booked!

If you decide to book with Crabb & Co, you are able to add or subtract florals when we finalise all details, 2 weeks before your wedding / event.

You will only be charged for the florals you choose and the associated delivery, bump in and bump out costs, as per our minimum spend requirements.

Full Service

We are a full service florist; we deliver and set up all florals, relocate flowers where required, pin on buttonholes and coordinate with venues and other suppliers such as your stylist and cake supplier. We will re use flowers where appropriate, for example your signing table posy can be reused on your wishing well / gift table.

We do not recommend arch florals are reused in a prominent position as often signs of wear and tear are visible, and styling for an arch is different than
the styling for a bridal table – we will discuss all options with you.

Finer Details

We require inspirational images to be able to understand the floral style and colour palette you would like for your wedding / event. Using seasonal blooms that we know best achieves this styling, we then create the most suitable floral designs. Having worked with hundreds of clients on a wide variety of creative briefs over 16 years, we do expect you to allow us creative freedom to enable us to do what we do best.

We will work with you regarding colour and tone, again with the expectation that we have the flexibility to choose what works best for your wedding, based on the glorious blooms Mother Nature provides.

Seasonal Florals & Foliage

We work with the most amazing flowers and foliage that each season provides. Our growers share our love of beautiful quality and many flowers are picked exclusively for our clients.

We support our local growers and also work with reputable interstate flower farms. Imported blooms do cost more, and whilst there are occasions in which imports would be lovely, our preference will always be for seasonal blooms. Should be need to source flowers from interstate due to seasonal and environmental conditions additional charges may occur. Blooms such as phalaenopsis orchids and imported Columbian roses do attract a higher price, as do out of season, imported florals.

Social Media

We will post images of your wedding or event, taken in our studio or onsite at your venue, unless you advise us not to. We will not post any photos prior to you special day. We may also use images in our online portfolio gallery and for blog posts. If we source images from your photographer we will credit them on social media and on our website. If you are using a hashtag, please let us know so we can use it too!

Our Process

  • Meticulous Planning

    Your wedding flowers are meticulously planned and involve many hours of preparation. The florist who conducts your consultation oversees your entire wedding- from liaising with our flower growers, your venue(s) / wedding planner / stylist / cake supplier, etc, through to the entire preparation of your flowers. Other florists in our team may be involved with some minor aspects of preparation, ceremony and reception set up, or the delivery of wedding flowers.

  • Final Meeting

    We will schedule a final meeting, 2 weeks prior to your wedding day, to finalise all flowers, and delivery details. A date and time is set once your deposit is paid. Your final payment is due 2 weeks’ prior to your wedding day. We understand that many details can change as a wedding evolves, and encourage all changes to be discussed during this final meeting. Whilst we offer a complimentary initial quote, two studio meetings and unlimited email and phone consultation, entire re-quotes, excessive changes will incur additional charges. After final payment 2 weeks prior to your wedding we cannot accept cancelations or any refunds will be given.

  • Wedding Flower Changes

    In the event that any changes to your wedding flowers are necessary, due to changes in seasonal conditions, unavailability or poor quality, the closest substitute will be used after consultation, where possible. When a singular variety of flower is requested we always ask for a second choice.

    We have a very good understanding of the seasons, and together with strong relationships with our growers, there is very rarely any problems with availability. We will not commit to giving you flowers out of season, or flowers that are very unlikely to be available.

    We keep in touch in the weeks approaching your wedding and give your regular flower updates, as required.  Your florist reserves the right to make slight creative or tonal colour changes as she prepares your wedding and again at set up.

  • Your Wedding Day

    On your wedding day your bouquets will be packed in a box of tissue paper. We will deliver your flowers between the specified timeframe.

    We deliver your flowers ourselves, we do not use a courier.

    Buttonholes and corsages will be clearly labelled.

    Please keep your flowers in a cool spot, out of direct sunlight, until required. Spraying flowers with water, placing bouquets in water or refrigerating any flowers is not necessary and can harm some flowers.

    Please also avoid touching your flowers as some bruising may occur.

    Upon delivery, we will advise the bride and bridesmaids the best way to hold their bouquets, and we will assist the groom, groomsmen and parents with buttonhole and corsage placement, if required.

  • Ceremony Flowers

    Ceremony flowers are set up according to times discussed. If you are using a stylist we will coordinate with them.

  • Reception Flowers

    Reception flowers are also set up according to times discussed. Prior to your wedding day we will contact your venue’s event manager to confirm details and pass on our run sheet and bump in details for the day.

    We are thorough, efficient and run to time. Our planning is meticulous so details are not missed and we will do a complete handover with your event manager prior to leaving.

    Occasionally items from previous events can be left behind, and sometimes venues keep them as additional decorations.

    If we feel these items do not suit the style of your wedding we will ask your venue to put them aside for the evening.

    We thoroughly scope out the room once bump in is finished – little details are important!

Please note: Our terms + conditions are subject to change at any time, at our discretion.
