Fay Flowers Studio is a boutique wedding and event florist working from a studio on Union Street in Brunswick, run by Fay Pazhouhesh. The studio has deliberately stayed small: every arrangement is designed and checked by the same core team, and nothing is outsourced. It works bespoke on every wedding, and says so plainly - there is no catalogue of set tiers to pick from. The tone is design-led rather than decorative, and the work runs from bridal bouquets to sculptural installations and preserved ceiling florals.
Seasonal, textural and structured without being stiff - the studio describes its own leaning as luxurious-but-liveable, with movement rather than symmetry and palettes that feel curated rather than coordinated. It works in every direction, from deep burgundy and burnt orange to blush and ivory to all-white with sculptural greenery. Peonies, David Austin roses and phalaenopsis orchids appear in the premium end of its work, alongside tulips, anemones, amaranthus, eucalyptus and dried elements. Five bouquet shapes are offered by name, from a classic round posy to a full cascade.
Couples marrying across greater Melbourne who want the flowers designed for their venue rather than dropped into it - the team visits and studies the space first. It suits a converted warehouse in Fitzroy, a CBD ballroom, or a garden ceremony equally, and the studio delivers across the bayside, western and inner-eastern suburbs from Bentleigh to Werribee to Kew. Also a good fit for anyone who wants a floral installation as an art piece rather than a backdrop.
Start with a free thirty-minute consultation. From there it runs design consultation, concept development with mood boards and bloom selections, sourcing, installation and pack-down. Book ten to twelve months ahead for the widest seasonal range - Melbourne studios commonly fill six to nine months out in spring and autumn. Ask whether delivery and set-up sit inside your quote, and raise moving ceremony flowers to the reception early, because that is extra labour.
The studio publishes an unusually candid buyer’s guide to its own market. It tells you wedding flowers usually run 10 to 15 per cent of an Australian wedding budget, explains what actually drives that number up, and then says outright: if you are comparing quotes from studios that all call themselves luxury, ask what the word is paying for in each one - sourcing, scale, or simply the word on the invoice. That is advice that works against its own sales pitch, which is rare enough to be worth reading.
