Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to my little corner of the flower world — where the roses climb, petals fall just as they please, and beauty is found in the soft, imperfect, and undone. Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions I’m asked about flowers, home fragrance, and my creative process.
Where do you source your flowers?
Most of my flowers are sourced locally here in South Australia — many are grown right outside my studio doors, while others come from trusted local growers and wholesalers who share my passion for sustainability and seasonality. Every stem is chosen with care for its texture, tone, and natural beauty — the kind of flowers that tell a story.
How do you condition your flowers for sale?
Each stem is trimmed, stripped, and hydrated in clean, cool water (with a touch of flower food for nourishment). My garden blooms are handpicked early in the morning and left to rest for several hours before arranging. This helps them rehydrate naturally, ensuring every arrangement looks fresh and full of life.
What’s your signature style?
Soft, romantic, and a little wild. I create florals that feel whimsical and naturally gathered — with gentle movement, layers of texture, and subtle shifts in tone. My work is inspired by the garden, the seasons, and the beauty of imperfection — arrangements that feel lived-in, poetic, and full of feeling.
How do I place an order?
You can order directly through the website — simply select your bouquet or arrangement and choose your delivery date.
If you’d like something custom or you’re ordering for a special event, reach out through the contact form or Instagram DM. I’m always happy to create something tailored to your style.
Where do you deliver?
I deliver throughout metropolitan Adelaide and nearby suburbs (usually within 20 km of Port Adelaide).
If you’re a little further out, please get in touch — I can often arrange collection or help find an alternative option.
Can I request specific flowers or colours?
Yes, of course. If there’s a flower you love or a particular colour palette you’re drawn to, let me know when placing your order. I work seasonally, so not all flowers are available year-round, but I’ll always select something that captures the same mood and essence — soft, romantic, and naturally inspired.
How far in advance should I order?
For everyday bouquets and deliveries, 24 hours’ notice is vital.
For events or large-scale floral work, I recommend booking several weeks in advance (especially during peak seasons) to ensure I can source the perfect blooms and plan your design with care.
What’s your process for event and wedding bookings?
Once you enquire, I’ll get in touch to chat about your vision — colours, textures, and the overall atmosphere you’d like to create. From there, I’ll design a tailored floral concept and proposal for your review. A deposit secures your booking, and when the day arrives, I handle everything from sourcing to styling — so you can simply enjoy the beauty of the moment.
Can I see a mock-up before the event?
Because each design is seasonal and unique, I don’t create full mock-ups in advance (these require purchasing large quantities of flowers). Instead, I’ll provide a detailed moodboard with your colour palette, inspiration imagery, and floral suggestions — giving you a clear sense of the aesthetic and feel before the day.
Do you offer dried or preserved flowers too?
Yes. My everlasting arrangements are handcrafted in soft, neutral tones with plenty of texture and movement. They’re designed to last beautifully for months and make timeless home accents or thoughtful gifts.
Can I collect my order instead of delivery?
Absolutely. Collections are available from my Rosewater studio between 10 am and 12 pm on your chosen date. Each bouquet or arrangement is hydrated, wrapped carefully, and comes with care instructions to keep it looking lovely.
How should I care for my flowers once they arrive?
Trim the stems, change the water daily, and keep them away from direct sunlight or heat.
A light misting helps keep delicate petals fresh, especially during warmer months. With proper care, your flowers should stay beautiful for several days.
Do you create candles and home fragrance products?
Yes — I hand-pour a collection of soy candles, diffusers, and home fragrances inspired by the same romantic, garden-grown aesthetic that guides my florals. Each scent is blended in small batches, with notes drawn from nature — from freshly cut herbs and soft rose petals to oat biscuits, honeycomb, and linen drying in the sun.
They’re designed to fill your home with warmth and nostalgia, evoking the feeling of slow living and days spent among the flowers.
Are your candles and diffusers made with natural ingredients?
Yes. I use high-quality soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and eco-friendly cotton wicks. Each candle is hand-poured in my studio in small batches, ensuring consistency, longevity, and the perfect scent throw. Every fragrance is chosen for its connection to the seasons and to the world I create through flowers.
Do you collaborate with other creatives?
Yes — I love collaborating with like-minded brands, photographers, stylists, and event creators.
If you think our aesthetics align, please reach out via hello@wheretherosesgrow.com.au or Instagram — I’d love to dream something up together.
What inspires your work?
I’m endlessly inspired by the quiet beauty of the natural world — the way flowers move in the wind, the scent of rain on soil, and the soft romance of an overgrown garden. My work — both florals and fragrance — is a reflection of slow living, nostalgia, and the art of noticing small, beautiful things.
