Wedding Florists · Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Emma Kate is a wedding florist, stylist and planner working from a home studio at Belair, in the Adelaide foothills. The path there is unusual and it shows in the work: hospitality, then seven years coordinating a busy wedding venue, then her own business, then formal training at the Adelaide Floristry School — and eight years on, flowers have become the most popular of the three services she offers.
Romantic and led by the season, with a genuine second register in natives. The published work runs from all-white classic bouquets of roses and orchids through to designs built around a king protea with dried textures and dusty pinks, and blue delphinium threaded through white. Aisle meadows, draped arbours and long dressed bridal tables recur.
Couples marrying on a private property or a bare do-it-yourself site — that is the specialism, and it is a real one. Planning a wedding somewhere with nothing means marquees, cutlery, and, as the studio puts it plainly, making sure the restroom facilities are right. Having the florist, the stylist and the planner be the same person removes the seams where those weddings usually come apart.
Nothing is priced on the site — every service is quoted after a consultation, and the studio describes its packages as flexible and sized to the wedding. Start by email, saying which service you are after; consultations are by appointment, either at the Belair studio or by phone. Flowers cover bridal party, ceremony and reception, down to petal cones, welcome signs, seating plans, cake tables, candles and runners. On a planned wedding the studio also manages the other suppliers, from marquee hire to catering.
The three services are one person, which matters most on the hardest kind of wedding. A couple who married on a private property at Hahndorf with 110 guests describe the difference: the set up of the ceremony was stunning, the marquee and styling all came together, and it was effortless — and that they were able to enjoy the day rather than worry about logistics.
