Magdalen Hill

Absolutely, we love to flower at different locations!
We offer our Full styling service experience, where we design, then travel to your venue and create bespoke ceremony + reception floral installations. This option is perfect for the couple who would like to wake up on their wedding day and know that their floral dream is taken care of, leaving you more time to relax and soak up the excitement during preparations + enjoy your friends and family.

To get your floral planning started we will send you our Wedding Florals Info Kit. This should answer any initial questions you may have and includes a pricing guide to assist in preparing your florals budget and explains the variety of bookings we offer.

As each couples needs + expectations vary, so does the prices. We pride ourselves on working with a broad range of budgets and tailor designs to suit every couple individually.

I'm truly passionate about every wedding I am a part of and feel it is the greatest of privileges to share in one of life’s biggest events. But don't just take it from me, here are what our past couples have to say about their experience with me.

"I wholeheartedly recommend Magdalen Hill for anyone in need of a wedding florist! From our first meeting, Sharni’s knowledge and creativity shone through. Her design skills are truly exceptional, and she was incredibly patient as we worked through the details. I appreciated how thorough she was, ensuring every aspect of the floral design was perfect. She made the entire process so easy and enjoyable, relieving much of the stress that comes with wedding planning.

On my wedding day, I was absolutely blown away by how the florals turned out! The grounded arch Sharni created was spectacular — it was the centerpiece of our ceremony and looked incredible in every photo. The bouquet, table arrangements, everything was just perfect. It was exactly what we envisioned and more.

If you're looking for a talented florist who genuinely cares about her clients, look no further!"
-Anne-Marie

"Sharni is an incredible talent. She created the florals dreams are made of for our wedding. Giving her full creative freedom was one of the best decisions we made. She had great communication throughout the process, offered a plethora of ideas regarding flower choice and placement. She was agile when our plans had to change due to the weather the week of our wedding. She took care of everything floral-related and worked closely with our vendors. We are so grateful and thrilled that we chose Sharni. Thank you again!
-Samantha

"Absolutely a must to work with Sharni, she was so organised and knowledgeable when it came to my wedding flowers, she far exceeded my expectations. Made the day so special and unforgettable.
-Alicia

"Where do I begin! Sharni is one of the most amazing vendors I worked with. She honestly took all my rough scrambled ideas and made a dream come true. Not only did she create everything for our wedding day so perfectly, she also was so supportive and flexible when we had to relocate our entire wedding 1 week before due to the cyclone that damaged Hawkes bay. Having Sharni’s calm and supportive attitude in the lead up to the big day was amazing, and it was so easy to put my trust in because I knew she would do an amazing job!
Such beautiful floral pieces I wish I could keep alive forever!
- Bridget

"Thank you Sharni for our wedding florals!
Sharni was an absolute delight to deal with from start to finish. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to florals and provided such valuable guidance to make sure we achieved the look we were after.
We couldn’t recommend Sharni enough. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and attention to detail, we absolutely loved what you created for us!
-Abbey

"Sharni from Magdalen Hill is hands down the most talented florist in the Bay. Choosing her for our wedding was the best thing I did - from the initial consults, to the incredible PDF plan she sent us, to the breathtaking arrangements on the day.

It's not easy planning a wedding from overseas but everything with Sharni was a breeze. She completely understood my vision, even when I couldn't articulate it myself, and ran with it to make it 10000x better than I could have imagined! She also went above and beyond her role, coordinating with other vendors to ensure the styling on the day was cohesive.

We are so grateful for Sharni and Magdalen Hill for helping curate our perfect day."
-Anna

"Your florals are one of my favourite parts of my wedding, they were absolutely magnificent!! Honestly, every time I look at the photos I'm in awe.
Thank you so so much, you truly outdid yourself!"
- Alexandra

No, it doesn't need to be!
We dream the big (and small) dream with you, get stupidly excited, then take the stress out of the planning by leading the design process; working with you openly + honestly. We have a detailed consultation process which allows us to understand how you'd like to spend your day and we are very good at curating this into a design plan tailored to suit your aesthetic and budget.

We take great pride in delivering florals at the highest standard and are well known in the industry for our professional service and outstanding floral designs. We must be the sole florist or flower provider for any wedding we are a part of, which means we do not allow any D.I.Y flowers at any Weddings or events we are to be a part of.
This ensures our work is not confused or mistaken for anyone else's and maintains our excellent reputation we've worked so hard for.

When you book with us you get a beautifully designed floral proposal with design details and layouts, inspirational images and a breakdown of your budget. This allows you and your partner to visually see every aspect of your flower designs and how it will all come together on the day. This is put together once we have had consultations and discussed every detail of your day.

Start your floral journey by saving images you love. Instagram, Pinterest and our website all have images you can save.
Think about the colours you are drawn too, perhaps there are certain flowers that you love which you are hoping to include. A quick google can tell you if they are in season or not.

When you view your collection of images, you might start to see a style or pattern emerge, i.e bold + bright, classic white + green, soft pretty pastels or something in-between. Your style might be bold modern designs, soft whimsical garden blooms with textures and fine lines or fluffy, romantic flowers, lush with foliage.

Be assured, we are experts in this department, and we are more than excited to join you on this floral journey! We will help you identify these aspects of your flowers and pull together a designed plan you will truly love!

There is so much love, care, time and attention that goes into making wedding flowers. You don't just go to the supermarket a few days before, pick out some flowers and head home to create a throw together. It's a professional service with months of pre-planning, years of experience, skill and knowledge.

Here's just some of the details that go into the flowers you receive on your wedding day.

Hours and hours of planning, this includes some things you see like face-to-face consultations, emails + phone calls, but it also includes hours you don't which are spent putting together detailed floral plans, internet searching products or ideas for you, communication/correspondence with other vendors.

Planning, calculating and pre-ordering in advance what flowers will be use - often coming from multiple + different flowers suppliers all over the country - (not a supermarket snatch and grab!)

Prepping vases, containers for the venue flowers - filling vessels with water etc.
Processing and conditioning the flowers + foliage when they come in days ahead of your event, sorting, separating, counting etc ensuring you have the correct volume to execute the designs.
Physically making the floral designs - which takes days and starts in advance (not the night before the wedding)
This is a skill that's mastered over several years of experience and knowledge and is educated with precise precision.

Keeping the flowers fresh and alive for your big day - I have a chiller that allows me to store the flowers in a cool environment so they are perfect and will last the entirety of your wedding.

For onsite installation - packing of vehicle, transportation of the flowers, unpacking at the venue and then completing installation before packing up again to finish, all while balancing time pressure and weather conditions.

Then the bit you don't see is the clean up after - cleaning dirty vases, sweeping up, composting green waste, cardboard breakdown of the large flower boxes.

Floristry isn't a part-time hobby I do from home; it's my full-time professional career which spans over 20years of experience.

No, absolutely not!
It can be hard not to get caught up with what's trending on social media when you start planning your day with so much imagery at our fingertips.
My best advice is choose colours and a style that you love, not what's in fashion. This way when you look back on your day in years to come, you'll love it - and that's all that actually matters!

Over my 20years in the industry I've seen trends come and go and then come again, so what's trends now, won't be for long, but what you truly love will likely remain.
