How does the Process work?
We jump on a consultation call together which forms the basis of your vision for the day.
We provide an itemised quote based on conversation. This is tailored to you so you gain transparency over the details on your wish-list.
You’re welcome to shuffle things and request revisions to your quote.
Secure your booking and date with a 20% nonrefundable deposit and signed contract.
We lock in your items and suppliers and provide you with a visual inspiration board and reception floor plan to paint a picture of the design, colours and layout we’re proposing for your styling concept.
You gain access to all planning resources, our vendor list + more in your very own client portal.
We keep in touch over the months leading up to your wedding date and organise a detail meeting together in person at your venue/ location.
A second non-refundable instalment payment of 20% of the remaining balance is due 5 months prior to your wedding with the final remaining balance due 4 weeks prior to your wedding date, allowing room to revise things to suit your RSVPs.
Wedding day arrives and our team set up, relocate, deliver your bouquets to your door step and return the next morning to pack down.
Yes absolutely.
Changes must be finalised prior to your invoice final due date. So long as a reduction does not exceed 10% of your first signed copy of invoice total.
Changes to quantities to accomodate guest RSVPs, to colours, style etc are all welcome prior to your invoice final due date.
Some hire items are subject to availability.
Can we make changes after the deposit has been paid?
Lauren founded Etc. Events (Etc. Event Styling) in November 2011 and 12 years later still oversees all design work, setups, instals and client meetings, today.
How long have you
been in the industry for?
We work with multiple clients in the design and planning phases of their wedding across our team of staff.
When it comes to the wedding day itself; we produce x1 wedding per day, ensuring you have our whole team’s undivided attention.
How many Weddings
do you work on at once?
Our office is based in East Gippsland VIC, however our work takes us right across the state.
We work from Ballarat, Warragul, Traralgon, Maffra, Bright, Metung and in between.
Weddings in regional VIC is our happy place.
What locations/ areas
do you service?
Being able to help pull together our couple’s ideas and bring them together cohesively and making the planning phase easy, stress-free and importantly, exciting.
Our designs have a strong focus on fresh florals, candle light, beautiful linens and a sense of luxe in the details paired with a relaxed atmosphere.
What are you best known for?
In 2023;
$12k - $15k +GST is the average spend for Styling & Florals
with Etc.
What is the average spend
on Styling & Florals?
We offer service packages (ie: Design & Styling if you already have a Venue, or Private Property Weddings if you’re getting married on your property.)
Our specialty is designing a space for you that feels like you.
This approach enables us to tailor to you, and so therefore we don’t have set packages for styling because we believe your day should be yours… not the likes of the couple from last weekend.
Our work and our clients are most important to us so we don’t treat you like a number who has to fit in to package A, B, or C.
Do you offer packages?
In short, No.
With our Design & Styling service:
We automatically source suppliers such as furniture hire, linen, custom details, signage, cutlery and set these up, manage and coordinate those suppliers coming and going from the venue, and facilitate the pack down as well as admin and correspondence with those during the planning phase. All your Florals and Styling is managed and designed and set up by us.
With our Private Property service:
Same as the above, only on a much larger scale. Paired with full planning & admin too.
Private property couples can choose to add an on-the-day-coordinaion service where we manage and facilitate all of your suppliers coming and going from the property, manage timelines and act as your PA for the day.
This is an added service on request.
Do you offer solely just
on-the-day coordination?
Absolutely!
Can you supply signage
& invitation details too?
Yes we can and have done in the past.
We arrange additional support with frequent check-ins and zoom or phone calls for couples overseas or interstate and our team can assist in site-visits and vetting vendors on your behalf.
Can you work with couples
from interstate or overseas?
No we don’t sorry.
If you have booked us for a Design & Styling or Private Property service we can set up some of your own supplied items on your behalf so long as the amount of setup does not exceed 30% of your total styling for the day, however we don’t offer this as a full stand-alone offering.
Do you offer only a
setup service if I have already organised my own styling,
floral and hire items?
We do!
Our hire range is available to view online via the ‘Hire’ tab and is available to all our booked couples.
Hire to the public is also available with a minimum spend required and subject to our availability. You can enquire via the Hire page.
