Bloom Illusions offers a full range of hireable floral installations and styling pieces — including ceremony features such as arbours, plinths, pillars and ground meadows, reception table florals, candles, table runners, signage stands, and a range of vessels and accessories. All hireable items are included as part of our collections rather than available individually. Browse our collections to find the right starting point for your day, or get in touch if you have something specific in mind.
Absolutely — and that's exactly how we work. Every Bloom collection is designed specifically around your day, your palette, and your style. Nothing is pulled from a standard catalogue. You choose the direction, we design the rest.
A 10% booking fee is required to secure your date and collection. A refundable bond of $250 is also required prior to your event, returned promptly after collection provided all items are received in their original condition. Your remaining balance is invoiced according to your payment schedule. Full details are outlined in your Terms & Conditions.
All Bloom hireable items are delivered, installed and collected exclusively by our team. We don't offer dry hire — this ensures every installation is set up to the standard it was designed for, and that our pieces are returned in perfect condition. It also means you don't have to think about a thing on the day.
As early as possible — ideally 12 months or more in advance. Bloom Illusions takes on a limited number of weddings per month to ensure every booking receives the time and attention it deserves, and popular dates fill quickly.
We don't accept bookings with less than one month's notice. Enquiries within a short timeframe are considered on a case by case basis depending on availability and the scope of the order.
Not sure if your date is still available? Reach out and we'll let you know what's possible.
Delivery and installation takes place on the morning of your wedding, so everything is perfectly in place well before your guests arrive. Collection is scheduled for the following morning when the venue reopens — keeping your wedding night completely free of logistics.
Some venues require a same-day bump-out, meaning all items must be collected on the night of your wedding after the event concludes. This service is available for venues within one hour of our base and an additional fee of $150 applies. If your venue has this requirement, just let us know and we'll confirm whether it's available for your location.
For short-term hires like elopements, we will collect the pieces after the ceremony and photos have concluded.
Yes — and we love doing this. Selected ceremony florals can be restyled into your reception space by our team, extending the visual story of your day from one space to the next. This is included as part of our full collections where applicable and is always considered as part of your overall design plan.
Yes. A minimum spend of $1,000 applies to hireable items outside of a full collection. For Saturday and Sunday weddings, a minimum collection investment of $3,000 applies. These minimums ensure we can give every booking the time, care, and standard of work it deserves.
Yes — we do travel beyond our standard service area for the right booking. Weddings further than two hours from our base are considered on a case by case basis, subject to additional travel fees and the overall scope of the order. As a general guide, we're happy to discuss travel for collections over $4,000. Reach out and we'll let you know what's possible for your location.
No, personal florals like bouquets, buttonholes, flower crowns, or corsages are not available for hire. These keepsake pieces are made just for you and are yours to keep forever. Each one is custom-designed to suit your style, and pricing will be included in your wedding quote.
No — all hireable floral arrangements remain the property of Bloom Illusions and must be returned in their original condition at collection. Because our florals are premium artificial pieces, guests will often mistake them for fresh flowers and may assume they're free to take home at the end of the night. We recommend including a short note in your MC's speech letting guests know the styling is hired — it's a simple step that protects your bond and ensures nothing goes missing. Any items not returned at collection may result in partial or full forfeiture of your refundable bond.
Our premium artificial florals are hardy and can handle light rain without any issues — so a light shower on your wedding day is nothing to worry about. However heavy rain, torrential downpours, and strong winds can cause significant damage to the arrangements, and we take the protection of our pieces seriously.
For all outdoor ceremonies and receptions, we require couples to have a confirmed wet weather option in place prior to the event. If severe weather is forecast and no wet weather alternative is available, we reserve the right to decline placement of the florals in conditions that risk damage to the pieces. Where damage occurs due to weather and no wet weather plan was in place, this may be reflected in a partial or full forfeiture of your refundable bond to cover replacement costs.
We know weather is unpredictable — having a backup plan protects your florals, your bond, and your day.
