Where are you based?
Blooms by The Workroom operates from The Workroom, an interior design studio, boutique store and florist in the heart of Wanaka. Located at 50 Brownston Street, Wanaka 9305, Central Otago.
This is where we bring our floral visions to life and where you can meet us in person for consultations or to discuss your event.
What happens after the wedding? Can I book a pack-down service?
Definitely. Our team can handle every step before and after your wedding, ensuring your only focus on your special day is the moment itself.
Do you offer delivery?
We ensure all florals are delivered to you on time, safe and sound, as beautiful as the moment they left our store.
Where do you source your flowers from?
We are proud to support ethical and sustainable blooms, with 95% of our flowers being grown here in New Zealand, and as much as possible from flower farmers and growers here in the Central Otago region. If you have a specific request for specialty flowers, we can source them from international growers where required—just let us know what you're dreaming of!
Do you use floral foam?
We do not use floral foam here at Blooms by the Workroom. As conscientious florists, we've made a commitment to prioritize both environmental sustainability and our health. Which means crafting floral foam free arrangements that are beautiful, yet gentle on the planet. Our arrangements are made with recyclable materials, so you can enjoy beautiful blooms guilt-free!
Where can I find your pricing for my Wedding Blooms?
Because we specialise in bespoke blooms, we don’t offer set packages or rates, but instead provide a custom quote to the exact details you are looking for. To get started, simply fill out our submission form, and our head florist will get back to you within 5-7 business days. This helps us understand your floral needs and ensures we provide an accurate, tailored quote for your event. You can also send us inspiration photos or mood boards—let us know what you love about each image! For inspiration, feel free to browse our Previous Lover’s Wedding Gallery or Instagram. If you're unsure about anything, don't worry—we’re here to help guide you through the process and make recommendations based on your vision.
Can I book a consultation to discuss my florals?
We would love nothing more! After you receive the first draft of your quote and floral plan, our head florist will request to book a complimentary consultation with you. Consultations are held in store in our Sample Lounge, a relaxed and creative space where we can sit down and talk through your floral vision in detail. We’ll go over the finer points of your event, discuss your style, and refine your quote based on your preferences. It’s the perfect opportunity to get to know each other and start turning your floral dreams into a reality. If you don’t live locally or plan to visit Wanaka before your wedding date, we can also book you in a video consultation.
How do I secure my wedding date with you?
To secure your wedding or event date with us, we work on a first-come, first-served basis. Once you are happy with your floral plan and quote, we’ll send an invoice for a 50% deposit, which once paid, secures your date with us. The remaining balance will be due 6-8 weeks before your event date. Please note that dates are reserved once the deposit is received, so we recommend reaching out early to avoid missing out. We would be delighted to flower your special day!
Can I still make changes to my floral plan even after I have paid the 50% deposit?
Of course, you can! The remaining balance for your invoice isn’t due until 6 weeks before your event, so our head florist will reach out about 8 weeks ahead of time to confirm all the final details and see if you'd like to make any adjustments. We want to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible, especially since we know how hectic wedding planning can be!
Do you create florals for elopements?
Yes, absolutely! While we specialise in large-scale weddings, we also love to create for smaller, more intimate occasions such as elopements. Whether you're planning a quiet ceremony or a small celebration with close friends and family, we’ll work with you to create luxurious and meaningful arrangements for your special day. The booking process is the same as written above, for weddings and events.
Can I make changes to my interiors proposal?
Of course, we believe in perfecting projects to your vision, which is why every interior design process includes two rounds of amendments.
Is there a price match guarantee?
Where possible we aim to price match, but please understand that freight to Wanaka is expensive. All quotes will include the shipping unless specified.
Do we work on international projects?
Absolutely. Our experience encompasses international services. Please enquire with our team for more details.
Can I keep certain elements from our own house?
Of course, we can use any elements you would like to keep — we let you set the vision and the pace.
Do you have to start from scratch?
No, we can work with any plans you may currently already have. Our team of design experts has experience at every stage of the process.
Why choose the Workroom for Property Styling?
At The Workroom, we believe that a beautifully styled property makes a powerful first impression on potential buyers, helping you sell faster and for a higher price. As experienced Property Stylists with deep expertise in both interior design and real estate, we know exactly how to highlight your home's best features while minimising the stress of the selling process. Our goal is to ensure your property stands out, maximises its market potential, and helps you achieve the best possible outcome when it comes to selling.
How does The Workroom select furniture and styling pieces?
How does The Workroom select furniture and styling pieces?
We curate our selections from our extensive collection of premium furniture and styling accessories. Each piece is carefully chosen to create a cohesive and stylish design that complements your property’s unique features. With years of experience in both real estate and styling, we ensure that every item enhances your home's appeal to prospective buyers.
How does Property Styling with The Workroom work?
The process begins with a consultation where we discuss your property and arrange a viewing. Photographs are fine, During the visit / viewing, we’ll take photos, measurements, and assess the layout to determine the best styling approach. Afterward, we will send you an obligation-free quote. Once approved, we’ll agree on an installation date. Typically, we prefer to install the furniture one or two days before your professional photoshoot. As your campaign nears its end, we’ll reach out to schedule a convenient time for removal.
When should I engage The Workroom for Property Styling?
Ideally, we recommend reaching out at least two weeks before your intended installation date to ensure we have enough time to plan and prepare. However, we understand that the property market can be unpredictable, and we will always do our best to accommodate even last-minute requests.
Can I use my own furniture or accessories?
Yes! We offer partial styling packages where your existing furniture can be incorporated into the design. However, in most cases, an empty space allows us to create the greatest impact and showcase the property’s full potential.
Do you style properties outside of Wanaka?
We primarily service the Wanaka district and surrounding areas, extending up to 25km outside of Wanaka. If your property is within this range, we’d be happy to discuss how we can assist with your styling needs. For locations beyond this radius, please get in touch, and we can assess the feasibility of working together.
Can we still live in the property while it's being styled?
Unfortunately, we only style vacant properties. Our furniture and styling pieces are carefully selected and quite valuable, so we prefer to ensure they are protected from potential damage. For the best results, we recommend having the property empty during the styling process.
How much does Property Styling cost?
The cost of styling depends on your property’s size and the number of spaces that need to be styled. We offer complimentary, no-obligation quotes after assessing your property and developing a personalised styling package tailored to your needs.
What are your payment terms?
50% deposit on acceptance balance after removal of property styling items
Can I purchase furniture or accessories from The Workroom?
While we do not sell our furniture or accessories due to the nature of our business, we are happy to source specific items for you at an industry rate, should you wish to purchase them.
