Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately not.

We treat every job differently and every job as a piece of art that reflects our couples and the unique style FreakHaus is known for, therefore it is best to get a customised quote based on what you are wanting for your special day.

There is a lot of variability when it comes to wedding flower prices. Most of our couples spend between $10,000 – $30,000 on their wedding flowers.

We suggest 10-15% of your total wedding budget but if you want florals to be a significant component of the experience for the day, we would recommend allocating closer to 25-30% of your total budget to flowers.

You can learn more about flower budgets here (Wedding Floral Budget Calculator).

Yes, we have a minimum spend however it varies based on the size of the event so please get in contact with us and we can discuss this all with you.

For a guide, most of the events we create are between $10k - $15k average spends.

We suggest a minimum of 6-12 months but we can easily work within a shorter planning timeframe.

We do recommend paying your 30% deposit as early as possible as we only take a limited number of weddings each month.

After your deposit is paid we can easily sort through changes and revisions to the order details, nothing needs to be firmly set in stone until 8-6 weeks prior to your wedding day.

Unfortunately not.

We are at the mercy of Mother Nature and there are a variety of factors that determine what flowers we can get and when.

No varieties of any fresh cut botanical materials can ever be guaranteed. This is due to them being natural growing, supply chain rejections, quarantine restrictions, demand and seasonal availability.

However what we can guarantee is that we will nail the vibe and aesthetic, rather than focusing on specific flower types.

Most of our couples trust us and roll with what we have been discussed in our consultations. They would have also provided us with enough inspo pictures for us to understand what they want us to create.

However, if you feel more comfortable to know we have nailed the vibe for you, we can provide an overall look + feel moodboard. This will be completed in the last step of our process in the lead up to the big day. Learn more about our process here.

Yes.

We offer a range of hire items – vases, ceremony frames, plinths, various styles of candleholders, stone styling pieces, candles, as well as acrylic wishing wells. However If you are after something unique that isn’t on our list we are happy to help you source these pieces.

If you are looking for a long list of hire items, we recommend taking a look at this list of Perth Vendors we like to work with (Favourite Perth Vendors)

The first step is to submit an initial enquiry (you can do that here) – we will then confirm whether your date is available and send you a link to book a 1:1 video call with our head designer Eden.

From there, we will create an initial quote for you.

We have worked at multiple Perth venues over the years so it may not be necessary. However if we believe there is reason for a site visit ie: private location or logistically challenging, then we will visit the site either with you or on our own.

Absolutely!

We have a base down in Busselton and love to create weddings for all our South West couples.

When travelling outside the Perth Metro area or WA, there is an additional travel fee to cover the cost of fuel and staff hours.

We ask to be the only florist exclusive to your event to complete the entire job.

Strictly no other florist, fresh/artificial flower supplier can be engaged in conjunction with us for your wedding.

As for friends and family members, we know their hearts are in the right place, however it can cause extra stress and anxiety from both parties so we say no to these types of collaborations.

It’s a big day for us floral designers, but in short…

Bouquets/buttonholes will be dropped to the bride/grooms location in the morning. From there the team travels to the ceremony + reception venues to start setting up all floral elements. We are there until every last detail is completed and ready for you and your guests, then we scoot off to go do some cleaning at our studio.

Once the event has concluded, we then make our way back to the venue for pack-down (usually around midnight or the following morning, however this depends on your venue).

We encourage you and your guests to take the flowers home so you can revel in their magic for a little longer, just as long as any vases/styling items hired from us are left behind.

If there are any larger installation, we encourage you to provide us with some buckets or boxes for us to load up with the ‘last flowers standing’ while we disassemble the installations. You can collect these for you to enjoy or hand out to others.

Any flowers left at pack-down have to be disposed of as every venue requires the space to be cleared - if you do not want them, they will go into greens waste and my own personal compost :)

This is a very good question and can sometimes be confusing. It is important that you know the difference between the roles so you know what to expect from each vendor. Below is a brief description of what each role entails;

Event Designer is someone who creates a cohesive vision, working on the overall aesthetic and look of your event. They consult on everything from floor plans and lighting design to the flowers, furniture, linens, and tableware.

*Hire an Event Designer: if the most important element of your wedding day is how it looks and feels for your guest and/or you have a million ideas and styles that you love but cannot narrow it down or figure out how to execute it.

Event Stylist is someone who traditionally is there on the day to set up all the styling items. They are responsible for creating and implementing the cohesive aesthetic that has been designed by the event designer (or client) for the event.

*Hire an Event Stylist: if all your aesthetic items have been organised, hired and collected and you need someone to set up these items on the day to make sure the vision is executed.

Event Planner is the person involved with the pre-planning of the event. They provide a full logistical process by managing budgets from start to finish as well as curating documents and timelines that manage who, what, when and where (what time suppliers arrive and set up, etc).

*Hire an Event Planner: if you either have no idea where to start, are time poor or need help managing your budgets (or all of the above).

Event Coordinator/Manager is logistically focused but on a shorter timeline than a planner. They are the person who is there on the day to execute the vision according to the pre-planned event (usually by the planner). They meet and greet all the vendors at set up, making sure everything is set up in the right location.

*Hire an Event Coordinator: if you wish to have an active role in the planning of your own wedding however need someone to take care of last minute details and make sure you haven’t forgotten anything.

Venue Coordinator is specific to a venue and will only provide assistance with tasks such as menu creation, event orders for the venue staff and scheduled event order for the kitchens food service. Most venue coordinators do not provide assistance with any other details of your wedding.

*Hire a Venue Coordinator: As outlined, event coordinators usually come with the venue, therefore if you wish to have a venue coordinator, choose a venue that offers one within their services.

Event Florist is the person responsible for the creation, preparation and installation of all floral designs for the event.

*Hire a florist: if you want wow factor, atmosphere and a beautiful smelling room at your event.

Our Event Design + Styling services are offered as an additional service to lovers who want us to do their Floral design.

This ensures that a cohesive design and aesthetic can be achieved and means we are exclusive to those who love our flowers as much as our style ;)

This depends on how involved you would like us to be, we can do a little or a lot. Depending on your requirements, wants and needs for your event, we will outline exactly what we will deliver so there is nothing over looked or any miscommunication. Below are the main services we offer, remembering, if you want us to be involved in any of the below, we have to be doing your floral design as well :)

• Design Consultation

• On the day Styling Set-Up

• Concept Design + On the day Styling set-up

• Concept Design, Planning, On the day Co-Ordination + Styling Set-Up

FreakHaus is unique in that we offer Event Design and Styling which comes with a version of Planning and Coordination. We ALSO specialise in floristry, so we are pretty much your one stop shop!

If you hire us it also ensures that you only have to deal with ONE person throughout the whole process rather than involving 3-4 different people.

Lastly, we obviously have a VERY UNIQUE style, so if you are after something mind blowing and off the charts different, then we are your people :)!

We know budgets can be rough to talk about, however, we are here to help guide you on what is best, based on your personal requirements. To best understand what we can offer you please check out the services we have curated for you or get in touch to see what service is your perfect fit. Enquire here.

We work on some pretty unique and spectacular events and we love to go hard or go home. However, it takes a good designer and planner to know who, what and where you should invest your money and it takes an even better one to understand the wants and needs of the client (the must-have’s vs. the good-to-have’s).

We have worked on events with various styling budgets, with most starting from $25,000 (this refers to the styling budget only).

Design + Styling budgets usually include the below culprits;

• Furniture + Flooring (ie: dance floors)

• Flowers

• Tableware + Glassware

• Linen

• Stationary + Signage

• Lighting Design

• Decor Items (candles, candle holders, vase hire, etc)

and can sometimes also include;

• Cake Design

• Grazing TableScapes (including hire of all platters, knives, etc)

and so much more!
