Susan Avery — Weddings and Events Terms and Conditions

At Susan Avery we know your wedding or event is special, individual and unique.

Your wedding needs to be perfect — there are no second chances.

To turn your dream into reality, we ask for an hour of your time to assess the options. We do this by providing a complimentary consultation (usually 1-1.5 hours) with Susan or one of her stylists.

At this meeting we will talk to you about your floral, decorative and theming requirements and we will provide our professional opinion and design skills. We will discuss colours, flower types and availability, themes, styles, hire items, delivery and installation.

We can also suggest other trusted suppliers where appropriate.

After this meeting we will prepare a detailed quotation which will be emailed to you. A telephone consultation will be booked to discuss the budgets.

Once you decide to proceed with our services, you can secure the date by paying a deposit— $900 of which is non refundable.

Cancellations and Postponements

If you need to change your booking date, just let us know as soon as possible and we will work with you to find another date that suits us all.

Seasonal changes or availability are part of the floral landscape and we have to work with that. We make every effort to provide you with the flowers we propose in the quotation. Sometimes changes or substitutions need to be made so we will let you know. Rest assured that any substitution would be of good quality and equal value.

all designs and budgets will be reviewed at our final pre-wedding meeting three to four week before your wedding. Once this has been updated we ask that no more changes be made.
