At Buds on B, we completely understand that ordering flowers can feel a little daunting. The flower world can be overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure how things work behind the scenes.
We often see customers trying to take control of the process simply because they want to get it right, and we totally get that. Flowers are a luxury item, they’re perishable, seasonal, and quite expensive. But they’re also one of the most thoughtful, heartfelt gifts you can give.
And just as much as you might feel the pressure of getting it right, we florists feel it too. Our work depends on timing, availability, and quality and every stem matters.
Yet it’s become more and more common to see florists explaining why we charge what we do or breaking down our worth in detail. So we thought we’d lift the curtain a little and explain how floristry really works and how you can order flowers from a florist with confidence.
Floristry Is Like Dining Out
The best way to understand floristry is to think of it like the hospitality industry.
Just like chefs, florists:
- Work with perishable ingredients that require care and conditioning.
- Source products from local growers and wholesalers.
- Follow a recipe and creative process to design something beautiful.
- Create something that’s enjoyed for a fleeting moment — a delicious meal, or a vase of blooms that fills your space with beauty for days.
And yes, while we need to eat, we don’t need to dine out at a beautiful restaurant. We do it for the experience. Floristry is the same. When you order from a florist, you’re not just buying a bunch of flowers, you’re investing in a service and a crafted experience made just for you.
You won’t get that from a supermarket shelf. The grocery store clerk won’t handpick blooms, order a specific rose shade, or design something to suit your loved one’s personality. But your florist will.
Value Is Personal
At the end of the day, it comes down to what you value.
If flowers aren’t your thing, they might just look like an expensive product that dies. But for those who love beauty, atmosphere, and emotion, flowers bring life and feeling to a space. They tell stories and celebrate moments.
Personally, I don’t see the value in spending $22 on a cocktail, but I do see the value in flowers that last for days, fill my home with joy, and bring warmth to the people around me.
Because flowers aren’t just a product, they’re an experience and a feeling.

Special Flower Requests
Looking for something specific?
You can email flowers@budsonb.com.au or call (07) 5445 3211 to discuss availability and sourcing. We can often order special flowers or colours with a few days’ notice, but it’s important to remember that flowers are seasonal and availability can vary.
We’ll always do our best to find substitutes that stay true to your vision. We do require a deposit, before we order anything in.
Weddings & Events
We take on a limited number of weddings and events each year so we can give every couple and client the care and attention they deserve.
We work with seasonal blooms, textures and colours, not exact flower varieties, to ensure everything is at its freshest and most beautiful on your day.
How to book:
Email flowers@budsonb.com.au with your inspiration images and event details. We’ll prepare a quote and can arrange a call afterwards to refine the details together.
Please note: we require a booking fee before we continue with quoting and design work, and full payment before ordering or creating any florals.
Styled Florals
Our favourite service! creative collaborations with businesses, brands and photoshoots.
These designs are usually created within a short 1–2 week timeframe and involve moodboarding, sourcing, mockups, approvals and on-site styling.
We love helping bring brand visions to life, and we ask our clients to trust us with creative freedom to substitute products based on what’s in season and available.
How to order:
Email flowers@budsonb.com.au with your ideas or moodboard. We’ll quote, plan and bring your floral concept to life. A booking fee is required before ordering any flowers, with full payment before design begins.
Funerals
A deeply special part of what we do.
We believe funeral flowers should reflect the person they’re honouring, not just be “something to put on top.”
You can order online, via phone, email, or in person. For custom tributes, we recommend visiting the studio so we can talk about your loved one and create something meaningful together.
Other Floral Designs
From wreaths for commemorative days to corsages for formals and one-off designs for special occasions, if it involves flowers, we’re here for it.
At Buds on B, we take pride in guiding our customers toward designs that suit their needs and budget. Because when you order from us, you’re not just buying flowers, you’re investing in a service, a craft, and a whole lot of heart.
