Wedding Florists · East Coast Tasmania / Freycinet, Tasmania
Silvertree Botanics
About
Overview & Vibe
Jaye and Grant grow their own flowers at Spring Beach on Tasmania’s East Coast, on a property looking across to Maria Island, and run a nursery there where the propagation work begins. Jaye brings more than twenty-five years in the wedding floral trade. The result is a florist whose supply chain is mostly the paddock outside — locally grown, sustainably sourced botanicals, with the rest bought from other East Coast growers.
Style & Signature Blooms
The business calls itself Tasmanian Native Floristry and means it. Grown on the property are banksia, waratah, kangaroo paw, protea and king protea, leucadendron, silver gum, blue gum and hakea, with brunia, spinning gum and nerifolia and repen proteas coming through as newer plantings. King proteas take months to bloom given the size of the flower, which sets the rhythm of what is available when.
Ideal For
Couples marrying on the East Coast, and elopers in particular. The property sits halfway between Hobart Airport and Freycinet National Park, so it works as a collection point on the drive up — an unusually practical offer for a region where the distances are the hard part. The portfolio runs from Freycinet Lodge and vineyard weddings to full installations at Spring Bay Mill.
The Need-to-Knows
No wedding price or minimum is published; enquiries and quotations are handled by email or phone. Delivery covers the coast from Buckland and Orford through Triabunna, Little Swanport, Swansea, Dolphin Sands, Coles Bay and Bicheno, and reaches Freycinet Lodge and Saffire by name. Everyday orders can be bought online, and business subscriptions run weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly.
Standout Feature
Growing what they sell. Very few florists in this directory can point at the plant a bouquet came from, and fewer still run a nursery to propagate more of it. It shows in the work: proteas and native foliage at a scale and freshness that is hard to buy in, and a seasonal range that follows the property rather than a wholesaler’s list.

- Quotations and general enquiries are handled directly by email or phone; there is no booking form or shopfront.
- The stated approach is to work closely with the couple to develop their own vision and style.

Price Notes
- No wedding price, package, minimum, deposit or lead time is published; quotations are given directly by email or phone.
- Everyday online flowers carry prices, including a native bunch at $75.
- Availability follows what is in flower on the property rather than a wholesaler's list, so the range shifts through the season.
- King proteas take months to bloom because of the size of the flower, which constrains when they can be used.
- Two different delivery-area lists are published, so the reach of a given town is worth confirming before ordering.
