About

Overview & Vibe

Willow Bud is a wedding-only floral studio at Perwillowen, in the hills behind Nambour, and it has flowered more than 850 weddings on the Sunshine Coast in seven years. The look it goes for is bountiful and effortlessly feminine, abundant, garden-gathered and a little loose, rather than tight and formal. It is also unusually straight with couples about money: four service tiers, each with its floor printed on the page, and a written explanation of why floral quotes differ so much.

Style & Signature Blooms

Garden-style and romantic, built on whatever is best that week. Its own write-ups name the blooms: David Austin, O’Hara and Quicksand roses, peonies in November, ranunculus, lisianthus, sweet peas, anemones and freesias for the soft palettes; King proteas, banksia, phalaenopsis orchids, pampas and bunny tails when a couple wants something coastal or textural; and eucalyptus, olive, ruscus and trailing jasmine through the foliage work.

Ideal For

Couples marrying anywhere from Noosa to the Maleny and Montville hinterland who would rather see what each floral service covers before the first conversation. There is a shape here for an elopement and a shape for a fully installed wedding, and a handful of destination dates each year for Byron Bay, Brisbane, Toowoomba, the Gold Coast and the South Burnett.

The Need-to-Knows

Four tiers, each with a stated minimum investment: for bridal party blooms you collect, for full service with delivery, installation and pack-down, for a destination wedding, and for the exclusive tier, which adds a site visit, a digital design guide and on-the-day transfers. Hire of vases, urns, plinths and structures is included rather than charged. Only a limited number of exclusive dates go out each year. Travel and accommodation on a destination booking are quoted separately.

Standout Feature

It publishes the arithmetic. Allow ten of the wedding budget for flowers; on a wedding that; its own average couple spends. And it explains the part nobody else does; rose varieties alone run a stem, so two quotes describing the same bouquet can be two entirely different things.

  • Every tier opens with a consultation: one hour by phone, video or in the studio for the bridal party bundle, and up to two studio consultations for the full service and destination tiers, with unlimited email and phone in between.
  • The exclusive tier includes up to two face-to-face consultations and a full site visit at the venue.
  • Only a limited number of exclusive dates are released each year, so that tier is worth asking about early.
  • The studio is a working consultation space, with vessels on the shelves and buckets of fresh blooms to look at while you talk it through.

Areas Serviced

  • The Sunshine Coast and Noosa, worked from a studio at Perwillowen in the hinterland behind Nambour - more than 850 weddings across the region in seven years.

Delivery & Setup

  • The full service, destination and exclusive tiers all include delivery, installation and pack-down of every piece.
  • The exclusive tier adds on-the-day transfers, so ceremony flowers are moved and reset at the reception while you are elsewhere.
  • In the bridal party tier the bouquets are boxed and packaged with a small water source so they travel safely, and you set out the rest yourselves.
  • Travel and accommodation for a destination wedding are quoted separately from the floral minimum.
