Working with Lillypad Flowers – Melbourne Wedding Florist

Why We Love Working with Lillypad Flowers

When it comes to floral styling, Lillypad Flowers is in a league of its own. Over the years, we’ve had the joy of collaborating with them across weddings and stylised shoots, but one of our favourite moments was when their lush, dreamy arrangements framed Matt’s DJ booth at Potters Reception. It was a magical fusion of florals and sound, and we can’t stop thinking about it.

1. Bespoke Creativity & Craftsmanship

Lillypad brings more than just flowers, they bring artistry. With over two decades of experience as Melbourne wedding florists, Lillypad’s team have learned how to translate a client’s vision into living, breathing arrangements. 
When we first discussed the Potter’s shoot, Lillypad took inspiration from the venue’s natural, garden-like charm: the wisteria-draped courtyard, the textured brick, and the rustic architecture. The result? Florals that felt not just as decoration, but as part of the space, like they’d grown there.

2. Seamless Collaboration

Working with Lillypad is always effortless. Their team listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, and brings ideas that elevate the whole event.
For the Potters shoot, we knew we wanted something bold around the DJ booth, and Lillypad delivered without missing a beat. They handled the logistics, arranged the flowers so they didn’t block the DJ but instead enhanced his stage.

3. Designing for Atmosphere

One of the things that stood out most during that shoot was Lillypad’s understanding of atmosphere. Their florals weren’t just pretty: they set a mood. The soft, cascading greens, mixed with vibrant florals, created a sense of organic luxury around the DJ booth. It felt secret garden meets party, which aligned perfectly with our vision.
As Lilly (from Lillypad) has noted, florals are about more than just individual arrangements, they’re about storytelling and evoking emotion.

4. Quality Meets Sustainability

Lillypad sources from top flower growers, and they’re committed to quality. Their seasonal approach means they don’t rely on gimmicks, just fresh, high-grade blooms selected for longevity and beauty. Whether it’s delicate florals flanking a DJ booth or lush installations overhead, their flowers are made to last through the night (and look incredible in photos).

5. Flexibility & Value

One of the things we admire most is how Lillypad adapts to different scales and styles. Whether it’s a minimalistic bouquet, a full install at a winery, or a floral takeover at a photoshoot, they bring the same level of care and creativity.

Looking Back: The Potters Photoshoot

• Venue Magic: Potters Reception (with its iconic wisteria courtyard and textured interiors) provided the perfect backdrop.

• Florals as Stage Design: Lillypad’s florals weren’t just accents, they framed Matt’s DJ booth, turning it into a living, breathing part of the venue.

• Mood & Movement: Lilies, lush greens, trailing vines, the floral design created a dreamy, elevated, but organic feel.

• Photography Dreams: The florals photographed beautifully, catching light, casting gentle shadows, and giving depth to every frame.

Final Thoughts

Collaborating with Lillypad Flowers feels more like partnering with a creative team that genuinely cares. They bring technical skill, design intuition, and a warm, responsive energy to every project.

If you’re planning a wedding, a styled shoot, or any event where florals matter, we can’t recommend Lillypad enough. They don’t just style with flowers,  they shape experiences.
