Event florist software: quotes, proposals & deposits

Event florists: quotes by guest count, styled by mood board. More flowers, less admin.

Quotes live in a spreadsheet, inspiration arrives as twelve Pinterest links, the proposal is a PDF that's out of date by Tuesday and deposits get chased by text. We build quoting, proposal, ordering and event day systems for event florists that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for event florist software that quotes, proposes and orders stems?

An event florist quote is never just one number. It's guest count times tables, plus a bridal bouquet, five bridesmaids, a hanging installation, an arbour and buttonholes for a groom who keeps adding mates. Then the couple changes the palette, the venue moves the ceremony indoors and final numbers land four days out. Most florists run all of it through a spreadsheet, a Canva proposal, a Pinterest board and a very long email thread.

Wollopit builds custom software for event florists around how your studio actually works. Quote by guest count and style in minutes. Send an online proposal the client can tweak and approve. Take the deposit on the spot. Once it's locked in, your recipes turn into a stem order for the wholesaler and a bump-in run sheet for the crew. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after it all on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from event florists

Does your event florist have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most event florists we talk to are brilliant designers running the business side on spreadsheets, screenshots and late nights. It holds together until three weddings land on the same Saturday.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole studio, on one system.

These are the systems event florists ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.

Event quoting

Guest count in. A costed quote out.

Your packages, per-table pricing and install pieces live in one builder. Enter guests, tables and style and the quote assembles itself with labour, delivery and hire included. Your margins stay consistent whether it's a 30-guest elopement or a 300-guest gala.

  • Quote by guest count and table count
  • Your packages as starting points
  • Per-item and per-table pricing
  • Install pieces and hanging designs
  • Labour, delivery and bump-out costs
  • Hire items added from your stock
  • Minimum spends by date and season
  • Margin check on every quote
  • Past events saved as templates

Online proposals

Proposals they can tweak, approve and pay.

Send a photo-led proposal online instead of a PDF. Couples swap items, add a flower crown or drop the arbour and watch the total change. When they're happy they approve, sign and pay the deposit in one go.

  • Photo-led proposals in your branding
  • Clients add, remove and swap items
  • Totals update as they go
  • You choose which items they can change
  • Online approval and e-signature
  • Deposit paid on approval
  • Balance instalments and reminders
  • See when a proposal is opened
  • Version history of every change
  • Invoices pushed to Xero or MYOB

Mood boards

Pinterest chaos, turned into one board.

Clients upload inspiration, pick their palette and tag the arrangements they love, right next to their quote. A seasonal guide flags anything that won't be around on their date and suggests something that will.

  • Image uploads from phone or desktop
  • Palette picker with your colour names
  • Love it or not for me tags
  • Comments on each image
  • Seasonal availability flags
  • Suggested substitutes
  • Linked to quote line items
  • Shared with planners if they like

Stem ordering

Recipes in. Stem order out.

Build a recipe for each arrangement once. Confirmed events multiply it by quantity and roll every variety into one order per wholesaler with a waste allowance. When final numbers change the order changes with them.

  • Recipes per arrangement
  • Stem counts by variety
  • Orders split by wholesaler
  • Waste allowance you set
  • Updates when numbers change
  • Stem costs feed back into quotes
  • Order cut-off reminders
  • Short-stock substitutes noted

Bump-in & hire

Every bump-in on every phone.

A run sheet per event with venue access times, contacts, load list, install order and photos of the approved designs. Hire stock is booked by date so vases and arbours never double book. Everything gets checked back in at bump-out.

  • Run sheet per event
  • Venue access and contact details
  • Load lists and install order
  • Approved design photos on site
  • Hire stock booked by date
  • Double booking warnings
  • Check-back-in at bump-out
  • Crew and van rostered per event
  • SMS reminders to the crew

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your event florist: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We sit in on a consult, a prep day and a bump-in, then work out where your hours actually go.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your packages, recipes, proposals, payments, hire stock, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually quoting and proposals first, so you get a win before wedding season.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things event florists ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can couples adjust items in the proposal?

Yes. Couples can add, remove or swap items and see the total change. You decide what they can touch, so install pieces and minimum spends stay where you want them.

Can it quote by guest count and table count?

Yes. Enter guests and tables and the builder works out centrepieces, bud vases and runners from your own pricing. You can still adjust any line before it goes out.

Can confirmed events turn into a wholesaler order?

Yes. Each arrangement has a recipe, so confirmed events roll up into stem counts by variety and supplier. If final numbers change the order updates with them.

We already use Details Flowers or HoneyBook. Do we have to switch?

No. If a platform is doing its job we build around it and add the pieces it's missing, like guest count quoting, hire tracking or run sheets. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can wedding planners and venues see the designs?

Yes. Planners and venues can have their own logins to send enquiries, view approved designs and check bump-in times without another email thread.

How much does an event florist system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like a quote builder or enquiry form can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early, ideally before your busy season kicks off.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most event florists we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
