Flowers for Hire
Why do we Hire Flowers for Weddings?
After more then 10 years in business doing fresh flowers, I started becoming more and more aware of all the problems in the industry, with waste, sustainability, imports, and spiraling costs fueled by the pandemic. I had dabbled in providing some preserved items with my fresh florals since 2019 and when the COVID lockdowns happened I finally had TIME to bring my dream to reality.
I wanted to provide you with a viable alternative to fresh or artificial blooms, one that is more sustainable, has less waste, is 50% cheaper, and is still beautiful. Sounds impossible – but we have worked hard to achieve this goal.
Traditionally the only way to avoid seasonal availability issues, shortages, low-quality stock, or wilting blooms was to choose plastic/artificial blooms. Introducing our game-changing Hire Flowers for Weddings!
Our dried & preserved flowers give you a 100% natural alternative to wedding flowers, that will look as good during your event as they did when you selected them.
Flower Nation offers Perth’s largest selection of preserved hire flowers for weddings, that are smartly designed to give you value for money and look amazing.
They suit most themes and keepsakes can be added to suit your needs.
