About
I’m aware that this puts me squarely in ‘hopeless romantic’ territory (and I’m totally ok with that!), but I wanted to build a career that centered around making people happy. I’m a detail-orientated person, always have been, and floral design allows me to make deep and real connections with people, while creating, designing and finessing a whole host of little details that form a uniquely beautiful tapestry once they’re woven together in just the right way.

FAQ
If you're a couple who value floral design as a central element of your wedding aesthetics, it's essential to work with a designer who shares your vision and appreciation for floristry as an art-form. For Krysta, this is a focus on eco-conscious floristry through a love of nature, bringing the outdoors inside and a focus on colour design through the use of enchanting, seasonal blooms. A skilled wedding floral designer with an eye for design will curate stunning arrangements, ensuring that every floral detail reflects your style and enhances the overall ambiance of your wedding day.
For couples who are passionate about floral design and wish to invest in their wedding flowers, we recommend starting the search for a wedding florist as early as possible. This allows ample time to find a designer who aligns with your creative vision and availability, especially during peak wedding seasons when in-demand designers tend to book up quickly.
Krysta's books tend to open in the autumn for the following calendar year. She is usually fully booked within 2-3 months!
To make the most of your initial consultation and ensure Krysta understands your desire to invest in floral design, consider the following:
a. Inspirational References:
Compile a collection of images, mood boards, or Pinterest boards that reflect your floral aspirations. Include specific examples of floral arrangements, colour palettes, flower types and design elements that resonate with your vision.
b. Wedding Details:
Provide your wedding date, venue information, guest count, and any specific floral requirements you may have. Sharing these details will help Krysta better understand the scale of your wedding and the scope of floral arrangements required to bring your vision to life.
c. Budget Allocation:
Be transparent about your willingness to invest in your wedding flowers. By clearly communicating your floral budget, you will enable Krysta to suggest floral designs that align with your financial commitment.

Get Expert AdviceIs January a hard date for flowers to be supplied for a wedding?
Hello! My partner & I are getting married in Byron Bay and hoping for 11 Jan 2025. We have been told my a florist that flowers around that time are hard to get as wholesalers close normally until 14 January. We are wondering whether we should change our wedding date because we’d love to have some gorgeous flowers for the day and not a limited supply and ones that doesn’t match our colours & make us feel fab. I am not particular about type of flowers more style of bouquet and colours. The florist we have spoken to can’t really tell us either way if anything will be available and we feel is more focused on booking us than helping us be realistic. Your advice is appreciated!

While January is a really gorgeous time for a wedding due to the summer weather, there are some aspects to keep in mind regarding flower availability and sourcing during that time of the year.
1. Seasonal Availability: January falls during the Australian summer, which means some flowers may be in limited supply or unavailable due to the heat. However, there are still plenty of beautiful options to choose from, as there are many flower varieties that thrive during this season; especially natives and orchids. There are also imports.
2. Local Availability: Working with a skilled and above-and-beyond wedding florist will be beneficial, as they will have knowledge of the local flower markets and local flower farms, and will work hard to guide you on the best options available during January. They can suggest flowers that are in season or source blooms from different regions if necessary.
3. Flexibility in Flower Selection: Being open to different flower varieties and colours will increase the likelihood of finding suitable options for your wedding. Discuss your preferences and overall vision with your florist, and they can suggest alternatives or complementary blooms that will align with your style.
If you're not getting anywhere with local florists, I would consider doing the following:
a) reaching out to your wedding venue for recommendations of florists they work with and following up with their availability during that time.
b) reaching out to local flower farms to see whether they will be operating during that time - this could be valuable information to pass onto a floral designer that is available on your date
c) visit the local markets and speak to growers and wholesalers to find out who closes during that period and who remains open - the ones remaining open may then be able to recommend floral designers they work closely with
I am based in Sydney and have a back-up grower that I order from during this time. It may be that you need to engage a florist from further afield and have them drive the flowers in a refrigerated/aircon van from Sydney to BB. I also work with growers that courier flowers to my venues further afield.
It's worth considering that these recommendations may have cost implications and so if it comes down to cost, it might be worth postponing by a couple of weeks.
Best wishes!
What should we realistically be budgeting for wedding flowers?
Hello! Absolutely love fresh flowers, and wondering what we could realistically expect to pay for: Bride bouquet 4 bridesmaids 1 x Flower girl Ceremony arch 5 lapel flowers 10 table centrepieces thank you!
Krysta Smith: Floral Artistry + Event Design
The cost of wedding flowers can vary greatly depending on the type of flowers, the size and complexity of the arrangements, and the location of the wedding.
A bridal bouquet in Sydney can range in price from around $150 for a simple, small posy of mixed seasonal blooms and foliage, to over $500 for a larger, more elaborate arrangement featuring premium blooms or exotic flowers.
A ceremony arch can also vary in cost depending on the size, style, and flowers used. A simple arch with a greenery and a few blooms can cost around $500, while a more elaborate arch with premium blooms and foliage can cost upwards of $2,000. Usually floral designers will measure by the metre and adjust the cost depending on whether or not it has a premium floral heavy focus.
You can expect to pay around $150 to $500 for each table centrepiece, depending on the size and complexity of the arrangement. For example, a small vase compared to a large/high arrangement. Bud vases are also an effective way of keeping costs down whilst still creating impact.
It's important to keep in mind that these are just estimates, and the actual cost of wedding flowers will depend on a variety of factors. You can also explore having ceremony florals that can be repurposed for the reception to make the most of your allocated floral budget - for example, urns on plinths or growing aisle arrangements/ground floor arbours that can be divided and repurposed.
When budgeting for wedding flowers, it's important to prioritize which elements are most important to the couple and allocate funds accordingly. By working with a professional florist and being transparent about budget constraints, your florist will do their best to get the most out of your allocated spend.
