Who Wholesale Flowers Adelaide Supply Is For (And Who It Isn’t)
Wholesale supply suits businesses that purchase floristry products in bulk quantities for resale or commercial use. At Floral Craft, we serve trade customers across multiple industries—all of whom must hold a valid ABN to register for a wholesale account.
Wholesale supply is designed for:
Professional florists – Retail florist shops and mobile florists who need consistent access to artificial flowers, greenery, and floristry sundries at trade pricing. Many Adelaide florists rely on wholesale suppliers to maintain stock levels without the overheads of retail purchasing.
Event stylists and planners – Wedding planners, corporate event coordinators, and party stylists who require bulk floral supplies for installations, centrepieces, and venue decoration.
Retailers and gift shops – Businesses selling artificial flowers and craft supplies who need wholesale pricing to maintain healthy margins.
Hospitality venues – Hotels, restaurants, and function centres that use artificial florals for permanent displays and seasonal décor.
Schools, TAFE, and craft educators – Educational institutions running floristry courses or craft programs that need bulk supplies for students.
Who wholesale isn’t for: If you’re purchasing for personal use, home décor, or a one-off project without a registered business, wholesale supply isn’t the right fit. Our trade-only model means we cannot process orders without a valid ABN.

Setting up a wholesale account with Floral Craft follows a straightforward process designed for trade efficiency. Here’s what to expect from enquiry through to dispatch.

Payment and dispatch – For cash account customers, orders are dispatched once payment has been received. Established customers may apply for 30-day trading terms after six months of regular trading.
Minimum Order, Pricing and What Affects Cost
Understanding wholesale pricing structures helps trade buyers plan their purchasing more effectively. Here’s what you need to know about ordering thresholds and cost factors at Floral Craft.
Minimum order value: The minimum online order amount is $100 excluding GST. This threshold excludes freight costs. Orders below this amount cannot be processed through our wholesale system.
Pricing display: As a wholesale trading company, all prices shown on our website exclude GST. Your final order total will display the GST-inclusive amount at checkout.
What affects your order cost:
Product selection – Premium lines such as Real Touch artificial flowers carry different price points compared to standard silk flowers. The materials, level of detail, and realism all influence unit pricing.
Order volume – While we maintain consistent wholesale pricing, larger orders may benefit from reduced per-unit freight costs when shipping is calculated.
Freight destination – Delivery costs vary based on your location. Adelaide metro orders typically attract lower freight charges than regional or interstate shipments.
Payment method – We accept Visa, Mastercard, EFTPOS, cash, and direct deposit. No credit card surcharge applies for Visa or Mastercard payments on current accounts. However, a 1.5% surcharge applies to overdue accounts paid by credit card.

What Products Trade Buyers Order Most
After more than 40 years supplying the Australian floristry industry, we’ve seen clear patterns in what trade customers prioritise. Here’s what Adelaide florists, event stylists, and retailers consistently order from our artificial flowers and craft supplies range.
Artificial flowers: Our artificial flower collection remains the most popular category. Trade buyers favour Real Touch roses, silk peonies, orchids (particularly phalaenopsis and cymbidium varieties), and seasonal stems. Australian native artificials—including protea, gumnuts, kangaroo paw, and wattle—are increasingly popular for wedding work and native-themed installations.
Stems and greenery: Artificial greenery and foliage are essential for filling arrangements and creating volume. Eucalyptus, fern varieties, and trailing vines feature heavily in wholesale orders.
Hat boxes and gift packaging: Hat boxes have become a staple for florists offering boxed arrangements. Trade buyers stock multiple sizes and colours to suit different price points and occasions.
Floristry sundries: The practical supplies that keep floristry businesses running: floral foam (wet and dry), florist wire, binding tape, ribbons, wrapping materials, and vases. These high-turnover items make up a significant portion of regular wholesale orders.
Styling supplies: Event-focused buyers prioritise styling tools and display materials—everything from decorative containers to installation hardware.
