About

Overview & Vibe

Kate Hill has been a Melbourne florist for more than twenty-five years, working from a store on City Road in Southbank. The studio describes the wedding process as calm and confident, running from the first enquiry to the final installation, and it takes a limited number of bespoke weddings each season. Its work has been featured in Vogue and Belle.

Style & Signature Blooms

Refined and largely white-led, with phalaenopsis orchid, garden and reflexed rose, gypsophila and freesia recurring through the range, alongside peony, spray rose and hydrangea. Native work appears too, in a wild native and white rose bouquet. Real weddings in the gallery run wider than the shop range, taking in magenta orchid, hanging amaranthus and deep red table florals.

Ideal For

Couples at either end of the scale. There are two published routes: a fully bespoke service with design, styling and installation, and a ready-to-order collection of bouquets and wedding party flowers that can be bought online, which the studio recommends for smaller weddings and elopements.

The Need-to-Knows

There is no minimum spend, and the studio says so plainly. Most couples enquire six to twelve months out, and bespoke bookings are capped each season. The bespoke process runs through an availability check, an initial consultation, a personalised proposal covering the bouquet, ceremony and reception florals with an estimated investment, a creative design consultation, then delivery and installation. Ceremony flowers can be repurposed for the reception, and hired items are collected afterwards.

Standout Feature

The ready-to-order wedding range is unusually complete for something a couple can buy without a consultation: bridal bouquets from $220 to $480, bridesmaid bouquets from $160 to $250, buttonholes from $29 and wrist corsages from $79, each in a named flower. It answers the question most florists leave to a quote.

Appointment Policy

  • Most couples enquire six to twelve months ahead, particularly for popular venues and spring or summer dates.
  • The studio accepts a limited number of bespoke weddings each season, so early booking secures the date.
  • Step one is a wedding enquiry form so the studio can check the date, venue and floral requirements.
  • If available, an initial consultation follows to understand style, priorities and floral direction.
  • A personalised proposal is then prepared covering the bridal bouquet, ceremony flowers, reception florals and an estimated investment.
  • Once the proposal is accepted, a creative design consultation refines the colour palette, flower varieties and styling.
  • Smaller weddings and elopements can skip the consultation entirely and order from the ready-to-order collection online.
  • The store is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm, closed Sunday and public holidays.
  • Enquiries on (03) 9510 8800 or through the wedding enquiry form.
