Rescheduled & Relocated Events

• You must advise us of any change to the event venue or event date in writing to hello@florada.com.au.

• We will do our best to accommodate new dates or location changes however we cannot guarantee our availability.

• If we are unavailable on your new event date, or are unable to accommodate your change of venue, your $1,200 made remains non-refundable.

• If we are available on your new event date, or able to accommodate your venue change, the order will be transferred to the new date. A new contract and quote will be drawn up taking into account the changed circumstances. (For instance, wholesale product prices fluctuate through the season, delivery and hourly wages vary depending on venue set-up requirements.) 

Product Substitution & Availability

• Our flower packages are available in either neutral or colourful, we will use only Australian grown flowers in the floral design for your wedding. We will discuss your flower preferences with you upon booking, and do our best to accomodate your requests based on seasonal availability. However, we reserve the right to make floral substitutions without further approval, and if necessary make any substitutions we think are best on for the event. In circumstances beyond our control when we deem the quality or colour of a flower to be unsuitable, Florada reserves the right to use a flower of similar colour and value in place of a previously nominated flower.

• Florada buys produce from Australian growers and does not substitute with imported flowers.

• All flowers and foliages are subject to seasonal quality and availability.

• We reserve the right to substitute all products to ensure the highest quality ingredients are used.
  Unfortunately we cannot guarantee availability, exact colours or shades of a specific product.

• When working with Mother Nature, there are no guarantees. Unseasonably warm, wet or cool
  seasons have a dramatic impact on flower and foliage availability.

• Regardless of the availability of specific products, we will adhere to the agreed colour palette and
  style of floral design to the best of our ability, as outlined in our supplied design inspiration.

• Refunds will not be given for minor changes in flower type or appearance.
