FAQ

A few things
you might be wondering.

Every celebration and creative project is different, but these are some of the things I'm asked most often. If yours isn't here, just ask.

The florals
Are your florals artificial?
Yes. Artificielle specialises in high-end artificial floral design. Working this way gives me the freedom to create, refine and mock up designs ahead of your day, while building installations with scale and intention.
Can I hire individual arrangements or stems?
No. My florals are offered as part of a complete Artificielle experience rather than as individual stem or pre-made arrangement hire. I design each celebration as a whole so the pieces work together within the space.
Can I see my florals before the wedding?
Yes. Mock-ups are part of the design process where appropriate, so we can refine the direction together before your wedding. Once you're booked, communication becomes much more collaborative as the design develops.
Do I choose from Azaleah, Hydee or Ivie exactly as shown?
The collections are a starting point, not a fixed package. They're there to help identify the world you're most drawn to. Your colours, venue and story then shape the final design.
Your wedding
What is a Signature Wedding?
A Signature Wedding is a considered floral and styling experience created around your celebration. Depending on your day, that can include personal florals, ceremony and reception installations, cake florals, signage, styling pieces from my decor collection, delivery, placement and collection.
Do you work with smaller weddings?
Yes. Signature Weddings aren't defined by guest numbers. A smaller celebration can still be beautifully considered and immersive; the scale is shaped around the venue, what matters most to you and the overall investment.
Can you work across two wedding locations?
Yes. If your ceremony and reception are in different locations, I'll consider the additional travel, timing, access and styling requirements when planning your experience.
Can ceremony florals be repurposed at the reception?
Often, yes. When the timing, locations and design allow it, ceremony pieces can be moved and restyled for the reception. Because this requires additional logistics and hands-on time, repurposing is planned as part of the overall service rather than assumed.
Do you deliver, style and collect everything?
Yes. The Artificielle experience is designed to be full service. I bring the pieces to the venue, style and place them, and return for collection or pack-down as agreed for your celebration.
Do you travel?
Yes. Artificielle works throughout the South Island. Travel and logistics are considered individually depending on the venue, distance and requirements of the design.
Working together
How far ahead should we enquire?
As soon as you know you'd like Artificielle involved. Because each wedding is designed individually and dates are limited, earlier enquiries give us more room to develop the experience — particularly for larger installations or celebrations involving multiple locations.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before enquiring?
Not at all. You can arrive with a complete vision, a handful of colours, one photograph, or simply a feeling. Part of my role is seeing the possibilities and shaping those ideas into something cohesive.
Why do you ask about our maximum spend?
It lets me understand the scale we can realistically create within before I begin developing ideas. I'd rather design beautifully within a clear investment than create a concept that doesn't fit your plans.
What happens after I enquire?
I'll read your enquiry personally. If it feels like we're a good fit, we'll arrange a conversation — over coffee in Rolleston or online — and begin talking through your venue, priorities and ideas. From there, I can start shaping the direction.
Beyond weddings
Do you create florals for campaigns, editorials or photography?
Yes. Collaborations and Set Creation allow me to work beyond weddings — developing floral and decor environments for campaigns, photography, editorial work and creative projects.
Can you design the whole set rather than only the florals?
Yes. That's often where the most interesting work begins. I can consider florals alongside decor, texture, furniture, scale, placement and the way the finished scene will live through the lens.
Still wondering?

Just ask.

If there's something specific to your wedding or project that isn't covered here, tell me about it. We can start the conversation from there.
