A Flower in Time… is Now online!

For those that don’t know about your business, what is A Flower In Time?
As a florist and the founder of A Flower In Time, I believe that nothing can brighten someone’s day – after day, after day, after day – like beautiful, preserved and artificial flowers.

My passion and expertise lies in creating unique and funky floral pieces that bring a special touch to any friend, relative, space or event. Whether it’s a thoughtful gift, home décor, or a wedding, the handcrafted arrangements are all designed and arranged by me, tailored to meet your needs, using florals and preserved blooms sourced from Australian local farmers and businesses.

How do you come up with your pieces?
When it comes to crafting the perfect piece, I like to prioritise understanding of my customers’ preferences by asking them questions. This includes their favourite colour and what home décor or themes they resonate with. I combine these insights with my own expertise to visualise and create floral designs that meet their expectations.
I actually find it quite challenging to pinpoint or articulate my creative process – it’s mostly intuitive, I think I just have an appreciation for aesthetically pleasing elements.

Where are you based?
I live and work in Tieri where life is peaceful and family is close. Living in a remote, rural area doesn’t stop me from pursuing my passion of floristry for others to enjoy.

How can people order from you?
I am beyond excited to announce the launch of my new website – www.aflowerintime.com.au – where you can quickly and conveniently purchase floral arrangements. Or you can contact me via Facebook or Instagram for a more one on one conversation.

Where do you deliver?
I can ship the floral arrangements anywhere across Australia! I take great care and pride in ensuring that each piece is packaged securely, so you can trust your order will arrive safely at its destination.

Alternatively, you can effortlessly place orders for local pick-ups directly on the website.
If you require delivery, please reach out to me via email (aflowerintime2023@gmail.com) or social media to discuss local delivery availability and the associated delivery fee.
Do you have pre-designed pieces on your website for people to choose from?
I sure do! The website offers a wide array of beautifully predesigned florals for you to choose from. Every two weeks I create fresh new pieces that are introduced online. I aim to provide you with an abundance of colour options and various price ranges to suit your specific needs.

What if someone has a special request, do you do custom designs?
Absolutely – I also offer custom designs that are specifically tailored to your budget and floral aspirations. So, if you can’t find what you’re looking for on my website, simply navigate your way to the “About” section of the website and send me an email. I’ll be in touch within 24 hours. Alternatively, you can reach out to me via Facebook or Instagram.

What’s the turnaround time for a ready-to-ship item vs. a custom designed piece?
The turnaround time for any of my ready-to-ship arrangements is 1 – 3 business days.
Understandably, custom designed pieces may take a bit longer, depending on whether I have the stock on hand to create your bespoke piece.

If I do, then I aim to have your unique creation designed, arranged, packed and shipped to you within 1 – 3 business days.

However, if specific florals need to be sourced and ordered from the Australian farmers and businesses I work with, then the turnaround time from order to shipment is likely to be 2 – 3 weeks.

How much are your pieces?
I aim to ensure my floral arrangements cater to a variety of budgets so no-one misses out. They start at the affordable price of $25 for petite arrangements. Any custom-designed pieces will be quoted for in our initial conversations.

How long do the floral arrangements last?
Preserved and dried flowers can maintain their beauty from six-months to 3-years or more, with proper care and placement. To maximise the lifespan out of your blooms please see our Care Guide located on Instagram. This will help you enjoy your floral arrangements to the fullest.

What are your top 3 tips for people considering a floral arrangement for themselves or as a gift?
When selecting the ideal floral arrangement for yourself or as a gift there are a few key factors to keep in mind:

1. First consider the colour scheme – think about the style and decor of the intended space, as well as any favourite colours as this will help ensure I’m creating blooms that will complement the unique aesthetic of the recipient.
2. Establish your budget – ensure you find something beautiful without spending outside of your means.
3. Identify any specifics – reflect on any specific flowers that you or the recipient may have in mind. Choosing the right flower selection will guide you into making a gift more personal.

Aside from your new website, what else is happening at A Flower in Time?
Well, I’m excited to say that I am preparing to enter motherhood this November! I want to assure the community that I will continue to be available for all your floral needs. However, I will be taking some time off to cherish moments with my new family and fully embrace my role as a mum.

I’ll share specific dates on social media as we get closer to the end of the year, but I encourage you to reach out now if you need floral arrangements for Christmas or end-of-year birthday gifts, so I can create the perfect statement blooms for you.
I’d like to take a moment and say a BIG thank you to everyone who has supported my small business over the last three years. It means so much to me, and I couldn’t have done any of this without you guys, thank you.
