Event Florist & Styling Guidelines

We ask that you please adhere to these guidelines for all floral/foliage installations, styling and your event. A copy of this document is to be provided to your florist and/or stylist.

Bump In & Out:

  • Bump in is permitted from 9am (NSW time) on the morning of the group booking. All installations and styling pieces must be removed by midnight on the group booking evening;
  • If your florist cannot remove your installation/s or if Bellingdale Farm staff are required to bump-out any styling/belongings for you we can offer our staff to do this for a fee (starting from $150). This fee will be deducted from your security deposit if your florist/stylist does not return;

Flowers & Styling:

  • All installations require prior approval so we may discuss rigging points and weight limits etc. with the supplier;
  • Provided that suitable supports are supplied (e.g. chains) the approximate weight limit for installations from the structural beams in the homestead is 50kg total across each beam;
  • The only tape allowed to stick floral/foliage to the walls is white cloth tape (Bunning’s only) this must be removed by midnight on the group booking evening;
  • All ladders/installation equipment are to be on protective blankets;
  • Any damage to the walls from using double-sided tape or hooks or any damage to the floors from not using protective blankets will incur a repair fee;
  • Florists supplying arbour florals must also provide the installation on the arbour;
  • Real flower petals are allowed in all areas;
  • To protect the environment, fake flower petals, rice, glitter and/or crushed glass are not permitted within the buildings or on the grounds;
  • Ecofetti (http://www.ecofettiaustralia.com.au/)is allowed on the grounds only (not within the buildings);
  • Bubbles are allowed on the grounds only (not within the buildings);
  • Please note the following Government restrictions:
    • Sky lanterns are banned in Australia and are not allowed at any time (please see https://www.productsafety.gov.au/bans/sky-lanterns for more information).

Candles

  • All candles must be in holders to prevent wax from dripping onto tables and furniture. ‘Non-drip’ candles are not an exception. Any candles not in holders will not be lit and any damage to tables/furniture from wax will incur a repair fee;
