Wedding Florists · Hunter Valley, New South Wales
Film & Foliage is a wedding floral studio based in Newcastle, run by Ashlee Wheelhouse - Ash to her couples - with more than thirteen years and seven hundred weddings behind her. She calls herself a florist, artist and flower nerd, and the work matches: organic abundance, natural movement, and what she describes as perfect imperfection - twisted stems, ruffled petals, nature left unforced.
Garden-style and seasonal, from a chartreuse and white ceremony arch over a ground meadow to bold autumn reds down a church staircase. Ash does not design from a flower list - she says so plainly, focusing on the feeling a scene creates rather than exact stem counts - and she buys at the Sydney Flower Markets in the week of each wedding, leaving at 2am to pick stems by quality, texture, shape and movement. When a bloom does matter she will chase it: one bride wanted flannel flowers at the very end of their season, and got them.
Couples marrying in the Hunter who want a florist who already knows the venue. Her named locals are Krinklewood, Redleaf, Greystone, Wallalong House, Chapel Ridge, The Woodhouse, Stonehurst, Darkhorse and Bimbadgen on Palmers Lane, and her published work adds Circa 1876, The Newcastle Club and Tocal Homestead. It also suits couples who want to hand over the creative reins: her own description of the brief is a mood, a memory and a colour palette, and then she is left to make her magic.
Books open twelve months ahead and the studio takes twenty weddings a year, so early matters. Enquire by the short form, get a reply within 48 hours, then a Zoom consultation, then a custom quote with itemised pricing and a mood board. A 20% booking fee and a signed contract lock the date. A longer consultation happens six to eight weeks out and the brief is finalised at six weeks - though elements can be added or shuffled right up to then. Destination weddings need flights, fuel, accommodation and vehicle costs covered. Bookings are open for 2026.
The sustainability practice is itemised, not asserted. No imported flowers - Australian growers only. No floral foam, named as the single-use plastic it is. Mechanics re-used, waste composted and recycled. Natural textiles for bouquets, napkins, runners and tablecloths in recycled cotton, raw linen and silk. Eco candles of vegetable stearin, natural dyes and cotton wicks. And no preserved, bleached or dyed flowers, so everything can go on the compost afterwards.
