About

Overview & Vibe

East End Flower Co is a locally owned flower boutique on Hunter Street in the Newcastle city centre, with a shopfront you can walk into and a wedding side that runs alongside it. Everything is designed in house, and the studio takes weddings at any scale - an intimate affair of ten, a low-key elopement, or a celebration of five hundred. It is a rare thing in this directory: a florist that publishes what a wedding costs, in full, before you enquire.

Style & Signature Blooms

The studio describes itself as particularly enamoured with garden texture, wild and untamed - and the portfolio bears it out, running from a hot pink and orange bouquet built on native foliage to white phalaenopsis orchid with dried textures. It also keeps a substantial dried and preserved line. Its own Newcastle seasonal guide names what is available when: roses, lilies, lisianthus, protea, banksia and waratah year round; dahlias and sunflowers in summer; camellias, hellebores and amaryllis through winter.

Ideal For

Couples who want to cost the day before they talk to anyone. Four collections are published with prices and full contents - $700 for an elopement, $1,500, $3,000 and $5,400 - and fifteen individual items carry starting prices, from a $35 groomsman’s boutonniere to a $1,800 floor meadow. Arbours come in three sizes at $450, $800 and $1,500. It suits couples who would rather build their own list than take a package, and couples who want the flowers delivered and installed rather than collected.

The Need-to-Knows

Every figure is a minimum and can rise with the design and what is in season. Every package includes a complimentary consultation with the lead designer, seasonal locally sourced blooms, a custom colour palette, delivery and set-up on the day, and vessels on hire. The booking form wants your date, both venue locations, your requirements split across wedding party, ceremony and reception, a theme description and a budget band. Flowers are seasonal, so tell the shop 24 hours ahead about any colour or bloom you want excluded. The shop trades Monday to Friday 8.30 to 4 and Saturday 8.30 to 2.

Standout Feature

The arbour is priced in three sizes, which almost nobody publishes: small from $450, standard from $800, deluxe from $1,500. Set that beside a $1,800 floor meadow and a $450 ceremony arrangement and a couple can price the whole ceremony look three different ways in an afternoon, without a single email.

Appointment Policy

  • Every wedding package includes a complimentary consultation with the lead floral designer.
  • Start with the wedding booking form, which asks for your date, both venue locations, and your requirements split across the wedding party, the ceremony and the reception.
  • The form also asks for a theme description, a budget band and any inspiration images, so the quote comes back matched to what you described.
  • The published budget bands are 1k - 2k, 2k - 3k, 4k - 6k, over 6k, or other.
  • The shop is open Monday to Friday 8.30am to 4pm and Saturday 8.30am to 2pm, and closed on Sunday; the online shop takes orders around the clock.
  • You can also call the shop on 02 4989 9758 or visit it on Hunter Street.

Areas Serviced

  • Newcastle - the shop is on Hunter Street in the city centre, and the studio designs and arranges everything in house.
  • Hunter Region - the studio describes itself as a favourite among brides across Newcastle and the Hunter Region.
  • For everyday flower orders rather than weddings, delivery covers the greater Newcastle area; most Newcastle suburbs are a flat rate, and some outer suburbs beyond the standard map can be arranged for more.

Delivery & Setup

  • Professional delivery and set-up of all the wedding arrangements on the day is included with every package.
  • You can also choose to collect in store, or have delivery without installation - the booking form asks which of the three you want.
  • For everyday orders rather than weddings, standard delivery to most Newcastle suburbs is $16.50, and outer suburbs beyond the standard map can usually be arranged for $20 to $30 depending on distance.
  • Same-day delivery runs on orders placed by 11am Monday to Friday and 10am on Saturday, until the day's driver capacity is reached; there is no Sunday or public holiday delivery.
  • A timed delivery has to be booked 24 hours ahead by phone and carries a surcharge.
