About

Overview & Vibe

Ruby Oak Floristry is a mother-and-daughter business run by Christine and Adele, who opened their first shop at Fairy Meadow in January 2022 and added a second at Corrimal soon after. Both sit on the Princes Highway, and between them they cover the Illawarra with their own delivery drivers seven days a week. In 2022 the business was named Best Florist in Wollongong and the South Coast at the Local Business Awards.

Style & Signature Blooms

The wedding work is described in the shop’s own words as luxurious and vibrant bohemian floral creations, and couples can steer it bohemian, luxe, romantic or eclectic. Fresh flowers are the mainstay, with preserved and dried options for anyone who wants to keep their flowers afterwards. Bouquets are finished with premium satin ribbon. Roses, orchids, sunflowers and native blooms all appear across the range.

Ideal For

Couples marrying anywhere between Helensburgh and Shellharbour who want a florist with a shopfront they can walk into, and those in the Sutherland Shire or the Southern Highlands, both of which the two shops also service. The bohemian and garden-led look is the house style, so it suits an outdoor ceremony better than a strictly formal one.

The Need-to-Knows

Wedding flowers are quoted individually rather than sold as set packages: couples fill in a questionnaire, which the head florist reads before preparing a quote. Ask whether a minimum spend applies when you enquire. Ceremony pieces run to arbors, pillars, backdrops and acrylic see-through plinths, alongside posy bouquets, petals, flower crowns, buttonholes, corsages and aisle decorations. Delivery across the Illawarra is a flat, with added on Sundays, and pick-ups are from the Fairy Meadow shop.

Standout Feature

Two shopfronts is unusual for a wedding florist in this part of the coast, and the delivery run is genuinely theirs rather than a courier’s. The shop will also text a photograph of a finished arrangement before it goes out, so you can see the flowers before the recipient does, though it steps back from that during peak periods.
