Petal & Sage x Zoos Victoria: Floristry for Events & Delivery Across Zoos Victoria
When your event takes place somewhere as unique as a Zoos Victoria venue, the flowers should feel just as considered.
Petal & Sage is a trusted go-to florist for Zoos Victoria, creating floral styling and event floristry for occasions across their Melbourne venues. From corporate events and private functions to special celebrations and large-scale events, we love creating florals that complement the environment rather than compete with it.
Floristry with a sense of place
Working within a zoo or wildlife sanctuary is very different from styling a traditional event venue.
The surroundings already provide an incredible backdrop — from lush gardens and natural landscapes to distinctive architecture and immersive spaces. Our job is to create florals that enhance that setting while still bringing the personality and purpose of each event to life.
Rather than approaching every event with the same floral formula, we consider the space, the brief, the guest experience, the season and the overall atmosphere before designing the flowers.
Because beautiful florals aren't just about the flowers themselves. They're about how everything comes together.
Creating flowers for Zoos Victoria events
As a florist working with Zoos Victoria, Petal & Sage creates arrangements designed specifically for the occasion and environment.
This can include:
Corporate event florals
Event and function styling
Table arrangements
Entrance and welcome florals
Bar and cocktail florals
Feature arrangements
Brand and corporate event styling
Private celebrations
Seasonal floral installations
Flowers for special events and activations
Whether the brief is understated and sophisticated or colourful and abundant, we work with the existing environment to create something that feels intentional and memorable.
Corporate floristry that feels anything but corporate
Corporate flowers don't have to mean a generic arrangement in the middle of a table.
For events at Zoos Victoria, florals can become part of the overall guest experience — helping create a sense of arrival, bringing colour into an event space and reinforcing the atmosphere of the occasion.
We consider everything from the company's brand and event styling through to the venue itself.
The result is floristry that feels polished and professional, while still having the personality that makes Petal & Sage flowers recognisable.
Working with Melbourne's most unique event spaces
One of the things we love about working with Zoos Victoria is the variety of spaces and environments available across their venues.
From Melbourne Zoo to Healesville Sanctuary and other Zoos Victoria locations, each setting has its own character.
That means there is no one-size-fits-all approach to the flowers.
A design that works beautifully in a traditional ballroom may feel completely out of place surrounded by gardens, wildlife and natural landscapes. Instead, we look at what is already there and design flowers that belong in the space.
Sometimes that means embracing colour and texture. Sometimes it means keeping things refined and tonal. And sometimes the best floral design is about creating one beautiful statement moment rather than filling every available surface.
Flowers designed around your event
Our approach to event floristry is simple: the flowers should support the event, not overshadow it.
We start by understanding what you're trying to create.
What should guests feel when they arrive?
What does the brand or occasion need to communicate?
Where will people gather?
Which areas need impact?
Where can florals add something unexpected?
From there, we develop the floral direction around the event rather than simply choosing a list of flowers.
This is particularly important for unique venues like Zoos Victoria, where the environment itself is already such a significant part of the experience.
Trusted for high-profile events across Melbourne
Our work with Zoos Victoria forms part of Petal & Sage's wider experience in corporate and event floristry across Melbourne.
We've created florals for high-profile events and brands including Zagame Automotive and Aston Martin at the Australian Grand Prix, as well as events for Ferrari, Fox FM and Listnr.
We understand that event floristry often comes with tight bump-in windows, detailed briefs, multiple suppliers and a very specific vision to execute.
Our role is to make the floral component feel effortless — even when there is plenty happening behind the scenes.
