Williams Florist

About Williams Florist

Williams Florist is a retail florist and nursery on Station Street in Oakleigh, in Melbourne's south east. The site says the business has served Melbourne and its surrounding suburbs for over 80 years and was one of the first Interflora members in Australia. Alongside the shop, the weddings side is led by Kathleen, who the site says began her floristry career in 1986 and has decades of experience styling, theming and coordinating wedding flowers.

Each wedding is treated as a unique occasion. Couples can book an appointment at the Oakleigh store or have the team visit the wedding venue to talk through ideas and look at the portfolio, with weekday and weekend appointments available. The bridal consultation is free of charge and usually runs about half an hour, with a quote tailored on the spot. Whether the brief is traditional, contemporary or something alternative, the team guides couples on blooms, themes and colours, and on how to carry and care for the bouquet.

The range covers bridal bouquets, bridesmaid flowers, ceremony and reception arrangements, with delivery and set-up to the home, church, ceremony and reception venue. Out-of-season favourites can be imported or substituted, or mixed with silk flowers. The site notes the florist has featured in Bride To Be wedding magazines and recommends booking around six months ahead, earlier for long weekends and public holidays.
