Toowoomba is quickly becoming Queensland’s wedding destination of choice—and not just for locals.
With grand heritage venues, cool-climate gardens, and breathtaking views over the Darling Downs, it’s no surprise Brisbane couples are heading up the range to tie the knot. But planning a wedding in Toowoomba comes with its own rhythm—especially when it comes to florals, styling, and hire.
Ever + Maple, is Toowoomba based and we love weddings and celebrations!
We’ve worked with dozens of couples bringing their dream wedding to life here. Whether you’re a Brisbane bride planning from afar or a local looking for something modern and magical, here’s everything you need to know.
1. Venues First: Toowoomba Has Hidden Gems (and Big Names)
Toowoomba’s wedding venues range from romantic homesteads to grand ballrooms. Popular picks for Brisbane couples include:
-
Gabbinbar Homestead – A heritage estate with serious fairy-tale vibes.
-
The Bungalow and Basket – A stylish modern-industrial venue.
-
Preston Peak – Known for its panoramic views and luxe finishes.
-
The Goods Shed – For couples wanting a blank-slate creative space.
Each venue has unique styling requirements—think: ceremony arches for gardens, low arrangements for dining tables, or statement florals for staircases and entryways.
2. Floral Styling in Toowoomba: What Works, What Doesn’t
Toowoomba’s climate, light, and garden-forward aesthetic influence which flowers thrive and what styles work best.
Trending floral styles we’re designing for Toowoomba weddings:
-
Garden-Style Blooms – Loose, whimsical, and romantic. Think ranunculus, delphinium, cosmos, and reflexed roses.
-
Sculptural Minimalism – Crisp lines, fewer stems, bigger impact. Perfect for more modern venues like The Goods Shed.
-
Australian Natives & Dried Mixes – Earthy, long-lasting and great for warm months or bold colour palettes.
Florist Tip: Toowoomba’s weather is cooler than Brisbane's, which is great for keeping blooms fresh. But if your ceremony is outdoors, you’ll still want to discuss shade and water access for any large installations.
3. Hiring Locally Matters: Arches, Plinths, Signage & More
Transporting styling pieces up the range from Brisbane is logistically complex—and often costly. That’s where Ever + Maple’s Hire Collection makes things easier.
Available from our East Toowoomba studio, we offer:
-
Floral Arches & Arbours – From modern metal frames to rustic timber.
-
Stone Plinths & Vases – Ideal for ceremony focal points or reception entrance styling.
-
Custom Wedding Signage – Welcome signs, seating charts, and bar menus that match your overall floral look.
Everything is delivered and styled by us, meaning no DIY stress or coordinating with multiple vendors.
4. Planning From Brisbane? Here’s How We Work With You
We understand that planning from out of town can feel overwhelming. Our process is designed to be stress-free:
-
Virtual Consultations – Zoom calls to lock in your moodboard, flowers and hire pieces.
-
Custom Proposals – With pricing, sketches and hire details included.
-
On-the-Day Styling – We deliver, install, and pack down, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
We also liaise with your venue, planner, and other suppliers to ensure everything flows smoothly.
5. Timing Is Everything: When to Book Your Florist + Hire
Toowoomba has peak seasons—especially spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May). Popular venues and florists book out 12–18 months in advance.
Our advice:
-
Book your venue first.
-
Secure your florist + hire styling team next (yes, that’s us).
-
Finalise your floral brief around 3–4 months before the wedding.
