Glasses of bubbly and tropical fruit will be waiting, so sit back and relax as our staff take care of everything.

THE PAMPERING

They’ll apply the styles and colours you’ve chosen as you sit together in front of a line of mirrors, chatting and letting the excitement build. The lads have their own grooming team who’ll make sure all shirts are crisply ironed and their shoes are shined before they sit back with a whisky to contemplate what’s ahead.

THE FLOWERS

Our master team of florists will arrive after lunch to deliver your bridal bouquet and groom’s boutonniere. By this time our Botanica Weddings function team will have set everything up in the format you’ve requested so the florists can walk through and provide the finishing touches with tropical blooms at your altar, your tables and anywhere else you’d like them!
