Smithfield Florist is a shop on Salvado Drive in Smithfield, on the Cairns northern beaches, run by Lara — and it is the family business she grew up in. Her parents ran three Cairns florists through the eighties and nineties, sold this one in 1998, and Lara bought it back. In between she spent five years doing daily orders and bridal work at another Cairns studio. “Accomplished in all forms of floristry, with a passion for wedding work.”
Classic and bloom-led rather than styled to a trend. The flowers are flown in — “our flowers are flown in from the top flower growers and importers in Australia” — and they name what they can and cannot promise: natives, proteas, roses, peonies, lisianthus and cymbidium and phalaenopsis orchids are all seasonal and vary year to year. Grandiflora roses, tulips, peonies and both orchid types may carry a small surcharge.
A couple who wants to see the numbers before the meeting, and a destination couple planning from elsewhere. “Do you live away and are getting married in Cairns area? Smithfield Florist can plan all your flowers and styling via email and phone.” They deliver weddings from Mission Beach to Port Douglas, and there is no minimum budget.
Book at least a month ahead — speciality flowers have to be ordered two to three weeks out, and inside a three-week window they will not be guaranteed. Delivery to a single address is $50. Set-up is charged on a real basis: two people for a minimum of two hours at $85 per hour each, so $340; pack-down is the same rate with a three-hour minimum because it happens between 10pm and midnight. Sunday and public holiday work attracts a 15% surcharge.
The price list is published in full, and so is the contract. Twenty-five itemised lines from a $20 pageboy buttonhole to a $350 feature display, plus their full wedding terms and conditions covering the booking fee, the cancellation ladder, the substitution policy and the hire bond. Almost no florist publishes either. Publishing both, before a couple has even called, is unusual and genuinely useful.
