About

Overview & Vibe

Shannon Hawkes Artisan Florals has served Central Queensland couples for over eight years and was named one of Australia’s top three wedding floral designers at the 2025 ABIA awards. Proudly women-led and rooted on the Capricorn Coast. Their own framing: “We are for the lovers who want to commission a piece of floral artwork… not just order wedding flowers.”

Style & Signature Blooms

Natural, foraged and free-flowing. Shannon’s style has “developed more towards reflections of natural forms and free flowing design, bringing together different combinations of texture and colour”, and when she is not in the garden she is out “foraging for the foliage, branches, blooms and other organic elements” the work is built on. Their own wedding photographs run from hot-pink ranunculus and rose bridal-party work to white floral pillars on a hilltop and an all-white rose bouquet at golden hour.

Ideal For

Two quite different couples, because the minimum is split by product. Fresh-flower weddings carry a $5,000 minimum spend and are pitched at large-scale installation work — “We are installation florists capable of creating large scale customised designs on site.” Silk and dried weddings carry no minimum at all, and pre-designed silk bridal bouquets are sold outright from $269.95 and shipped Australia-wide.

The Need-to-Knows

The wedding offer includes delivery, full set-up and pack-down and hire of styling items. You can change, move or add items up to four weeks before the date, and you can secure a date before you have all the answers. Everyday delivery covers Yeppoon, Emu Park and Rockhampton Monday to Friday, with a noon same-day cut-off and fees of $10–$20.

Standout Feature

They published an article telling couples how to spend less with a florist. Seven tips, including avoiding stylist package deals, buying in season, staying flexible, avoiding peak dates, and repurposing the ceremony arbour as the bridal-table backdrop. Also offered: bouquet preservation and framing, so the flowers outlast the day.
