Hunter Valley Wedding Florist
There’s something rather special about getting married in the Hunter Valley.
Rolling vineyards, old stone buildings, open paddocks, sprawling gardens and golden afternoon light already give you the most beautiful setting, and flowers are what bring all those little details together.
At Cottage & Co, we create romantic, garden-inspired wedding flowers for couples getting married across the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Sydney and beyond. Our floral style is soft, whimsical and a little bit wild Inspired by cottage gardens, English country flowers and the beauty of flowers growing exactly as they please.
From your bouquet to the ceremony flowers and reception tables, we design everything to feel like it belongs to your wedding, rather than simply following a trend.
What Makes Hunter Valley Wedding Flowers So Special?
The Hunter Valley is one of those places where flowers feel completely at home.
Whether you're getting married amongst the vines at a Hunter Valley winery, in a country garden, beneath a grand old fig tree or inside a beautiful historic venue, flowers can soften a space, add colour and create that feeling of being somewhere truly special.
Your flowers don't need to compete with the landscape around you. Instead, we love creating designs that complement it. Bringing in movement, texture and colour while keeping the overall feeling romantic and natural.
Choosing Flowers for Your Wedding
One of the questions we're asked most often is: "Can I have the flowers I love?"
Usually, yes, although the answer can depend on the season.
Flowers are seasonal by nature, which is one of the things we love about them. Rather than trying to force a particular flower to appear at every wedding, we work with what's looking beautiful around your date and use your favourite colours, shapes and textures as our starting point.
Some of our favourites for romantic Hunter Valley weddings include:
Garden Roses
Garden roses are one of our absolute favourites. With their full, ruffled petals and beautifully romantic shape, they have that just-picked-from-the-garden feeling that works so beautifully with the Cottage & Co style.
They're perfect for bouquets, ceremony arrangements and anywhere you want that soft, abundant garden look.
Peonies
Few flowers make quite the same statement as a peony. Big, fluffy and wonderfully romantic, they're a favourite for bouquets and arrangements when they're in season.
Peony season in Australia generally falls around October to November, making them particularly lovely for late spring weddings.
Sweet Peas
Sweet peas are delicate, romantic and wonderfully nostalgic. Their soft, fluttery petals and winding stems bring movement and a slightly wild garden feeling to bouquets and arrangements.
They're especially beautiful when mixed through a bouquet rather than used on their own.
Delphinium
Tall, elegant delphinium brings beautiful height and movement to wedding flowers. Its delicate flowers are perfect for creating that loose, garden-grown feeling and work beautifully when tucked amongst softer blooms.
Native Flowers
Native flowers can be a beautiful addition to a romantic wedding design, too. We love using delicate Australian natives such as Geraldton wax and thryptomene, which add texture and movement without taking over the arrangement.
They're proof that native flowers don't have to mean a rustic or overly "Australian" look. They can be soft, romantic and incredibly pretty.
Your Wedding Flowers Should Feel Like You
Pinterest is a wonderful place to gather ideas, but your wedding doesn't have to look exactly like someone else's.
When we design your flowers, we look at the bigger picture. Your venue, your season, your colour palette, your dress, your personal style and, most importantly, how you want the day to feel.
Maybe you've saved hundreds of garden rose bouquets.
Maybe you know you want peaches, butter yellow and blush pink.
Maybe you've fallen in love with one particular photograph and aren't quite sure how to explain what you love about it.
That's all completely fine.
You don't need to know the names of every flower or have your wedding flowers planned before you get in touch. That's part of what we're here for.
From the Bouquet to the Whole Room
Your wedding flowers are more than just the bouquet.
At Cottage & Co, we love creating a floral story that moves throughout your day. From the flowers you carry down the aisle to the arrangements that welcome your guests at the reception.
Depending on your wedding, this might include:
Bridal and partner bouquets
Buttonholes and personal flowers
Bridesmaid bouquets
Ceremony arrangements
Aisle flowers
Welcome arrangements
Reception table flowers
Bud vases and floral details
Plinth arrangements
Cake flowers
Other small floral details throughout your celebration
The aim isn't to fill every available surface with flowers. It's about choosing the places where flowers will have the most impact and making them feel intentional.
A Little Bit Wild, A Little Bit Romantic
If there is one thing that ties our designs together, it's that we don't want your flowers to feel too perfect.
We love flowers with movement. Stems that wander. Little blooms that peek out from unexpected places. Colour that isn't completely uniform. Arrangements that look as though they could have been gathered from a beautiful cottage garden that morning.
Our style sits somewhere between romantic and wildflower, garden-grown and thoughtfully designed.
Think abundant blooms, soft colour, beautiful texture and just enough wildness to keep things interesting.
