Your bouquet should feel like an extension of you.

When we create your bridal bouquet, it’s never just about choosing a few beautiful blooms. So we'll talk through a heap of ideas with you and ask to see photos of your dress—because the shape, style and detailing all help guide the design.

For a sleek silhouette, we might suggest a refined, sculptural style.
Or for a romantic gown your bouquet could be full of soft colours and dreamy blooms.

Every element is considered—your colour palette, your personal style and the vibe of your day—so that when you hold your bouquet, it feels perfectly you.

Because this isn’t just any bouquet.
It’s your bouquet. And it should be just right!

You know they're the one.
You’ve found the ring.
But your nerves are kicking in.
How do you plan the perfect proposal?

You want it to be thoughtful, romantic, maybe even a little magical — but with a busy work and lifestyle, you need help to make it happen, whilst keeping it a complete surprise.

That’s where we come in.

At The Event Boutique, we help create unforgettable marriage proposals across the South Island—from secluded picnics, to our romantic, magical love-shack (as pictured) to fully tailored experiences designed specially for your loved one!

We're here to take all your stress away, and can help you:
✔️ devise just the right plan
✔️ source the perfect location

We'll talk through your unique love story, what your partner loves, and discuss all the options and possibilities to create a unique proposal. Then once the plan is in place, you just focus on getting them to the location, practice how you're going to ask....and we’ll handle the rest.

What do you really get when you work with The Event Boutique?

Yes, we style beautiful weddings and events—but what we give you goes far beyond gorgeous florals or thoughtfully curated hire items.

1. You get a creative partner who’ll help pull all the ideas out of your head and bring them to life with a cohesive, elegant vision.
2. You get expert guidance—on what works (and what doesn’t), where to prioritise your budget, and ideas to transform your venue into something truly special.
3. You get access to our carefully curated hire collection and our knowledge of products available through other hire companies - to bring your concept to life.
4. We design custom signage design and create stunning fresh florals (sourced from local growers).
5. We have years of experience knowing how to make events flow beautifully.
6. You get support: from creating your styling concept to supplier liaison, floor plans, event advice and more—we’re here to take away the overwhelm.
7. And the best part is on your event day you get to relax. To soak up all the beauty, love and joy. And we’ll be the ones loading the van, styling your venue to perfection, taking care of all the details, and returning after the celebration to pack it all away.

So whether you’re after planning support or styling magic, we tailor our services to suit what you need.

We do what we do because we love creating magic—and it’s always heart-warming to receive kind words from our couples.

One of our brides described herself as an absolute control freak—but after speaking with us, she felt completely at ease and confident to hand things over. That kind of trust means everything.

Because it’s never just about the styling or the flowers. It’s about helping you feel calm, supported, and fully present for the celebration you’ve dreamed of.

✨ If that’s what you’re looking for, we’d love to help.

Love what we do, but your event isn’t in Christchurch? We’ve got you.

Whether you need help with styling, florals or co-ordination —we travel South Island-wide to create unforgettable weddings and events, even in the most remote and beautiful locations.

Once we’ve carefully planned all the details, we'll load up the van or car, pack buckets of fresh blooms and styling items, and hit the road. We’ll create your florals on-site and, on event day, style every element to perfection—so all you need to do is turn up and celebrate.

And sometimes even Hugo—my adorable pup and unofficial team helper —comes along for the ride too.

✨ From Queenstown to Lake Tekapo, backyards to venues and private homes—we bring creativity, calm, and a whole lot of care wherever your event takes us.

When you choose us to help plan your marriage proposal, it’s never just about the beautiful setting. It’s about creating a moment that feels meaningful, deeply personal—and entirely unforgettable.

This couple were travelling New Zealand in a campervan on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. He wanted to propose somewhere private, romantic, and truly special. While Lake Tekapo is a popular choice, I knew it wouldn’t guarantee the privacy he was hoping for—so I suggested another lake I knew there was an area only accessible by a short walk, along a trodden track we created.

She loved Disney, so we wove that into the experience—placing a series of beautiful quotes about love and adventure that reflected their journey and included Disney characters, to create the track. Each one built anticipation, added a sense of wonder, and gently guided them towards the spot where it would all unfold.

Next she discovered a path of scattered rose petals, that led her to the lakefront gazebo, styled just for them, with fresh florals, and personalised signage to set the scene. We’d also secretly collected photos from their hotel and strung them inside the gazebo—turning it into a visual love story. Along with a gourmet picnic for two, and a photographer hiding nearby to capture the moment she said “yes.”

✨ Planning a proposal? Let’s create something extraordinary—with every detail designed just for you.

Want to host a special celebration at home—but wish someone could just wave a magic wand and make it all come together?

We get it. Life is busy, and planning an event (on top of everything else) can feel like a lot. You want it to be special—but you’re not quite sure what will work best, or where to even begin.

That’s where we come in.

At The Event Boutique, we’ll visit your home, talk through your ideas (even if they’re just rough thoughts), and make thoughtful suggestions based on your space, guest numbers, and how the event should flow. We’ll help you figure out what’s needed—and how to make it beautiful.

From there, we can:
✔️ Recommend and supply all the right furniture and decor
✔️ Design the styling concept and layout
✔️ Liaise with caterers, entertainment and other suppliers
✔️ Provide a clear quote so you know exactly what’s covered
✔️ Deliver and set everything up on the day so your home is celebration-ready

All you need to do? Pour a glass, greet your guests, and enjoy every moment.

✨ No stress. Just a beautifully hosted event in the comfort of your own home—with more time for champagne toasts and less time worrying about the details.

We love when our couples come to us with out-of-the-box ideas—or are open to ours.

It’s in those moments that the most memorable, personal touches are born.

Like this music-loving couple, who wanted their wedding to feel joyful, relaxed, and full of personality. So we designed a flower tambourine for the bridesmaid to carry down the aisle—instead of a traditional bouquet. It was playful, meaningful, and so perfectly them.

And because we adore flowers just as much as creativity, our team carefully crafted it using hand-selected blooms—sourced from unique varieties we love to hand select from small local growers. Every floral detail is designed and created in-house with care and intention.

At The Event Boutique, we thrive on creative collaboration—whether you come to us with a bold idea or want our guidance to bring something unexpected to life.

💡 If you'd love something that’s not just beautiful—but creative and beautifully you, get in touch and let's talk!
