About

Overview & Vibe

Hanna runs Joy Botanical from a home studio in Albany, and she is a wedding florist rather than a shop - the whole business is built around custom wedding and event work across the Great Southern. She came to flowers sideways, through a Master of Architecture, a run of design roles and then hospitality, before studying floristry in New South Wales. The design training shows in the structural installation work.

Style & Signature Blooms

In her own words: wild, dainty, textured florals, and letting all the wonderfully weird and wiggly stems do their thing. Yellow is her favourite colour and the portfolio shows it - hot pinks and oranges, cobalt and rust, banksia and native foliage beside garden roses and dahlias. There is soft ivory work too, but the colour weddings are what this studio is known for.

Ideal For

Couples marrying anywhere across Albany and the Great Southern who want colour and structure rather than a safe white palette, and who need one florist willing to build on site. The gallery runs to nineteen named weddings - clifftop ceremonies, farm sheds, a triangular arbour in a paddock, and full installations suspended overhead.

The Need-to-Knows

Every wedding is custom quoted, and a 30% non-refundable booking fee secures your date. The balance falls due four weeks out, and that is also the deadline for any change that affects the flower order; changes to what the florist does on the day need seven days’ notice by email. Pack-down is a separate paid service - without it you return the hired pieces within three days, and a card is held on file against them. If you want anything hung, staked into grass or lit with open flame, get the venue’s permission early; the studio asks you to arrange that.

Standout Feature

The terms are unusually complete and unusually fair. They spell out what happens if the set-up runs past your start time - a full refund of anything missing, paid within seven days - and commit the studio to finding you a replacement florist of similar cost and style if it ever cannot deliver. Almost nobody publishes either promise.

Appointment Policy

  • Start with the enquiry form or call 0437 134 021; email goes to joybotanical@gmail.com.
  • Every wedding is custom quoted, so expect a conversation rather than a price list.
  • A 30% non-refundable booking fee secures your date - the studio will not hold a date without it.
  • Get any change that affects the flower order in at least four weeks before the day.
  • Changes that affect what the florist does on the day need seven days' notice, in email.
  • The studio keeps the right to photograph its finished work, and holds off posting to social media until after your ceremony has started.

Areas Serviced

  • Albany and the Great Southern – the studio's own stated coverage, worked from a home studio in Albany.

Delivery & Setup

  • On-the-day delivery, set-up and dismantle are all part of what the studio takes responsibility for.
  • Pack-down is a separate service you choose and pay for; without it, returning the hired pieces is on you.
  • Hired pieces come back within three days of the wedding, washed and clear of candle wax, flower matter and water.
  • Set-up and pack-down times are given as approximate windows, and the studio keeps your day-of contact updated if they move.
  • The delivery slot is an arrival time, not a finish time - it does not include the set-up itself.
  • If the studio has not finished setting up before your ceremony starts, it refunds anything missing in full, by direct debit within seven days.
  • Ask your venue's permission early for anything hung from beams, staked into grass or lit with open flame; the studio asks you to arrange that on its behalf.

Price Notes

  • Every wedding is custom quoted; nothing is sold as a set package.
  • A 30% non-refundable booking fee is payable upfront and comes off the total invoice.
  • The balance is due four weeks before the wedding, and the flowers are not ordered until it is paid - a late payment can cost you the varieties you wanted.
  • Late payments may attract fees, and the studio does not send payment reminders.
  • Cancelling needs at least thirty days' written notice, and a $500 cancellation fee may apply on top of the forfeited booking fee.
  • Nothing is refunded on a cancellation inside thirty days, and individual items cancelled that late are folded into upgrading the rest of your flowers instead.
  • Non-perishable items already bought for you, such as vases and ribbons, are deducted from any refund.
  • Hired pieces returned later than three days after the wedding can cost up to $100 a day until they come back.
  • Hired pieces returned dirty attract a cleaning fee of $80 an hour.
  • Pieces abandoned at the venue attract an additional collection fee.
  • Payment is by direct debit, credit card or cash; cheques are not accepted.
