About
Overview & Vibe
A shop on Commercial Place in Drouin working weddings across Gippsland, with a four-step process that starts with a no-obligation consultation and ends with the team setting up on the morning. Mim leads the wedding side, and the tone throughout is practical and unfussy.
Style & Signature Blooms
Locally sourced and seasonal, with the shop happy to work to whichever direction a couple brings - classic, boho, modern or garden-inspired are the four it names. Nothing is offered as a fixed look; each element is tailored from bouquets and buttonholes through to arches, centrepieces and venue florals.
Ideal For
Couples anywhere in Gippsland, at any budget, who want the flowers delivered and installed rather than collected. Packages are fully customised and carry no minimum spend, which the shop states plainly as a reason a small wedding is as welcome as a large one.
The Need-to-Knows
Delivery and setup run within 100km of Drouin, though the shop elsewhere claims coverage across the whole of Victoria, so a distant venue is worth confirming. Weekend hours are longer than most florists keep, with the shop open late Saturday and Sunday.
Standout Feature
Judged number one in the Gippsland and Phillip Island Wedding Awards and ranked second Australia-wide. For a shop in a town of Drouin’s size that is an unusual placing, and the reviews behind it are published on the Australian Bridal Industry Academy’s own site rather than only on its own.
Appointment Policy
- Weddings start with a friendly, no-obligation consultation about ideas, colour palette and overall vision.
- The consultation covers floral styles, seasonal availability and ideas for each element of the day.
- A detailed personalised quote follows, based on the couple's selections and budget.
- Delivery and setup on the day complete the process.
- Enquiries on (03) 5625 4111 or by email to hello@thewillowbranch.com.au, at 1 Commercial Place, Drouin.
