About

Overview & Vibe

Colin Straub works from a shop at 145 Ninth Street in Mildura, describing the studio as contemporary floral design and event styling that is eco conscious, sustainable and bespoke. His background is unusual for a regional florist: he studied in Germany and the Netherlands with leading designers on a Fellowship awarded by the Specialist Skills Institute, has presented floral design seminars and demonstrations internationally, and is chief judge at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show.

Style & Signature Blooms

Contemporary and custom rather than a house look, and the wedding portfolio bears that out: white and green cascading bouquets, blush garden roses, and a strong run of Australian native work built on proteas, banksias and eucalyptus. Ceremony work runs to draped arbours, hexagonal frames, floral hoops and long botanical garlands for the bridal table. No flower variety list is published.

Ideal For

Couples marrying around Mildura and the Murray who want a designer with international training close to home, and who like either classic white-and-green or native Australian palettes. The shop also handles corporate, celebration and everyday work, so a wedding order can sit alongside the rest of the weekend.

The Need-to-Knows

Weddings are arranged by appointment, and the studio asks couples to phone rather than fill in a form. No wedding price, package or minimum is published; the retail bouquet range runs $90 to $170 and is ordered online. Delivery has published limits worth knowing early: Robinvale orders need 24 hours’ notice because an external courier has to be booked, and delivery does not extend to Nangiloc, Colignan or Wentworth at all.

Standout Feature

The sourcing statement. Floral materials come from Australia and internationally, and the studio states its flowers are produced ethically and sustainably, with eco friendly packaging. It is a sustainability claim about how the flowers are grown rather than about how far they travel, and the studio is open about buying from both.

Appointment Policy

Wedding flowers are discussed at an appointment, and the studio asks couples to telephone to arrange one rather than to use a form.
The shop is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5.30pm, Saturday mornings, and closed Sunday.
The studio also states it is open by appointment outside those hours.
