+ DO YOU CHARGE FOR AN INITIAL CONSULTATION?

We are not offering consultation's presently in 2021.

+ DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO OR SHOWROOM?

Not at the moment.

+ HOW MUCH WILL STYLING COST?

That’s a really great question! And really hard to answer! If you mean full event styling services that includes creative design, visual brief, delivery, installation, pickup, pack down and cleaning, then the short answer is, “It depends!”.

• It depends on things like…
• Is your event on a weekend or mid-week?
• Is your event on a public holiday?
• Where is the venue?
• Is your venue easy to access?
• How many guests do you have?
• Is styling for the ceremony, reception or both?
• Is it a sit-down or cocktail/stand-up type event?
• Is it indoors or outdoors?
• Are you hiring a marquee…with flooring?
• Does the venue provide any items?
• How many hours or days will the event run for?
• Is there any special construction that needs to be done?
• Are you supplying any items?
• Would you like us to coordinate flowers and lighting?
• How little or much styling would you like?
• Do you want us to do the complete setup or only part of it?
• Do you even know what you want yet?

As you can see, there are a lot of factors that contribute to the final price!

However we are here to help and the best thing to do is to have a chat with one of our Event Stylists. We design events for clients just like you every single day. Our Event Stylist will painlessly and simply walk you through the process and come up with a full design and costing for your event that is tailored to you and you guests.

As you move through the process, we’ll help you figure out what you want, keep you within your overall budget and provide you with visual brief and final costings.

+ HOW LONG ARE QUOTES VALID FOR?

Our quotations are valid for 1 month from date of issue, unless otherwise advised/stated. Your quotation is not considered confirmed nor you items/services held until deposit is paid and a signed quotation is received. Should you’re quotation validity lapse unfortunately we cannot guarantee the availability of items/services, any special offers and there maybe potential price increases.

+ DO YOU HAVE PACKAGES?

We believe that every event is unique and we don’t like to restrict Styling into the realm of ‘packages’ as no two events are the same. In saying that we are more than happy to provide you with a ‘package’ to suit your individual requirements as we like to offer a professional and easy approach to styling. Just ask us!

+ DO YOU WORK WITH INTERSTATE AND INTERNATIONAL CLIENTS?

Yes, of course! We work with many clients who are based interstate or overseas. This is not a problem. The only disadvantage is possibly not being able to walk through your venue with you. Saying that, if you have a marquee, temporary structure or limited access to a venue, it may not be possible anyway. Most communication and correspondence with you will be handled over email and phone, so distance doesn’t really present a problem at all.

+ MY VENUE HAS A COORDINATOR. DO I NEED A STYLIST?

Your coordinator works for the venue, so their main focus is what they do best and ensuring that everything runs smoothly for your event from a venue side. That’s where we come in to assist you to heighten your guests experience with engaging and inspiration styling that will both set the tone and mood of your event.
