Lots of bright colours! A lovely workshop of table arrangements for this mother and daughter.
Taking a more freestyle approach using pots and wire mesh the ladies were able to let go and experiment with their composition.
Sadly we were missing some of their crew but it was a special couple of hours creating with flowers.

The hydrangeas have certainly got the most out of this rainy summer - such lovely displays this year!

What a fabulous mini Xmas market hosted by Kim at Baked with Love. The entry fee was donated to a great cause and the evening was really well supported.
I got to chat to so many locals about House of Florence Floral Workshops - it was fantastic to see lots of faces that have been through my barn doors already.
A lovely evening!
We whipped up an array of product to sell - our new FLORA soy candles, Shell tea lights, DIY WREATH-MAKING kits and Rimu platters/chopping boards- all HANDMADE at House of Florence

Recently engaged? A big congrats! Here are some things you should consider as you start the planning journey!

Obviously take some time to enjoy and celebrate your engagement 🥂

Guest list- it’s hard to even begin looking at venues/marquees when you don’t even know how many people it needs to hold!

Once you’ve got an estimated guests list sorted it’s time for the Budget chat! Don’t go booking vendors without having this conversation because you’d hate to spend all your money on one vendor category and then realise it after the fact that the budget doesn’t even allow for X to be spent!

From there pick your top three things that are most important to you for your special day- whether it’s design based, food & atmosphere, amazing photos- this will help you see where the budget can be tweaked in areas.

Happy planning!

Another fabulous marquee from the team at Getset Hire
We did Large magnolia installations to match the theme for this bride. Great team work as always.

These marquees are a peg and pole style with center poles. They can only be erected on grass areas. Optional Silk Linings & clear walls are available.

These are perfect for weddings and as you can see we can deck them out to suit your big day's theme.

😍😍🥰🥰

Congratulations Brooke and Liam. Love our large fresh foliage hoops in the marquee for your wedding day - the Hampton certainly is a favourite of mine.
It’s Always great working with Tracey and the team at Get Set Event Hire
