About Debbie O'Neill

Debbie O'Neill has been creating wedding and event florals for over 25 years, working across the Yarra Valley, Warrandyte, the Dandenong Ranges and surrounding suburbs. The business trades as Debbie O'Neill Freelance Designs and runs from a barn studio in Croydon Hills with a dedicated showroom and workspace, where couples come for an in-person consultation once availability is confirmed. The site describes the style as timeless, with lush, romantic florals and thoughtful styling for vineyard and garden weddings.

The floral range covers bouquets to carry, flowers to wear, ceremony florals and venue florals. Bridal and bridesmaid bouquets are custom made with seasonal blooms, and wearable pieces include buttonholes, corsages, wristlets and flower crowns. Ceremony work ranges from arbour florals, barrel arrangements and aisle flowers to floral towers and petal-strewn aisles, while reception designs run from round table centrepieces and long table floral runners to hanging installations and floral columns.

A hire range backs the florals: artificial and silk arrangements, urns, arbours and arches, metal floor and table columns, plinths, vases and candle holders. The site says the studio is recommended by many of the Yarra Valley's most sought-after venues, and its Real Weddings pages show work at Acacia Ridge, Vue on Halcyon, Zonzo Estate, Vines of the Yarra Valley, Potters Receptions, The Farm, Immerse and Inglewood Estate. Debbie also teaches hands-on floral classes called Flowers in the Barn.
