Frequently Asked Questions

Processes and time frames

  • We aim to make the ordering process simple but we also want to create your dream event. Don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have via email.

    Firstly

    Order your pieces through our website. This will allow you to include details to personalise your order.

    For customised orders not on our website, email Natalie including the pieces you would like to create/order. We love hearing your ideas!

    Email: natalie@honeyandhivedesigns.com.au

    Secondly

    If you didn’t include your finer details in your website order we will send you an email requesting this (e.g., guest list names). We will require this 6 weeks prior to your event.

    Thirdly

    We will send you a proof within three business days of your design for editing, changes and your feedback. All proofs must be finalised and approved by you 4-weeks before your event so we can begin creating.

    Lastly

    Now you relax and we create (our favourite part!). Once your pieces are finalised we will contact you to arrange pick-up/delivery (in Toowoomba region) or inform you that your pieces have been shipped.

  • All pieces have a rental period of 4 days in the local area.

    Please email us to arrange a suitable time for pick-up or delivery of your hire items (fees apply) within the Toowoomba region. Unfortunately we are unable to post hire items.

    All hire items have a security bond attached ($50) to cover any damages or late/unreturned items. This will be reimbursed to you on return of the items on-time and in their original condition.

  • As soon as you’re ready you can place your order. You don’t need the final details but it helps to ensure the availability of your date. The finer details of your order will be required a minimum of 6 weeks prior to your event.

    We understand in this current climate that guest attendance can change right up until the wedding however we still require your guest list for place cards and seating boards 6 weeks before your wedding. However, if you do require a last minute change, contact Natalie and and we will do our best. A rush order fee of $60 may apply.

  • Contact Natalie at natalie@honeyandhivedesigns.com.au with the date of when you require your order and we will let you know if we can accomodate a shortened timeline. We will always try out best! A rush order fee of $60 will apply (ready made hire items excluded).

  • Our minimum lead time is 6 weeks. When your order is complete we will contact you to arrange delivery/pick-up or inform you that your pieces have been shipped. Once shipped, delivery time is in the hands of Sendle however you will be provided with a tracking number.

  • As a small business we have the flexibility to make changes once the order is placed. The ideal time to request changes is when you are sent your proofs (2 complimentary then a $10 service fee applies for additional changes). We want to ensure your happiness with the product and also understand that sometimes changes will need to be made that are out of anyone’s control. Email Natalie at natalie@honeyandhivedesigns.com.au to discuss further.

  • Our rule of thumb is to measure twice and cut once! We do require you to approve your proofs before any pieces are made as we will use the exact spelling you have provided. If you notice a mistake email Natalie at natalie@honeyandhivedesigns.com.au and we will do our best to help you. Fees may apply if the error was not on our behalf.

Custom orders

  • Custom orders are the very heart of Honey & Hive Designs. These products are designed from scratch in extensive consultation with you. Custom designs do take longer as there is an initial design phase on top of product. The standard 6 weeks production applies but only once the design is finalised. Email Natalie at natalie@honeyandhivedesigns.com.au to discuss your dream design!

  • The beauty of being a small business is that we can work with you to find solutions that can work within your budget. We may have hire items that suit your price point but please note that we do not hire personalised signage. Email Natalie at natalie@honeyandhivedesigns.com.auto discuss.

  • We absolutely love creativity and a challenge. Our skills, experience and small family business model mean that we can work with you to create just about anything. We look forward to hearing your ideas! Please note that these products will typically be kept by you and pricing will reflect this. Email Natalie at natalie@honeyandhivedesigns.com.au

Other

  • All our signs are carefully packaged in a clear protective wrap to prevent scratching, damage and dust. Once you’ve had a peek at your signage, we highly recommend wrapping them again until your event to avoid any damage and fingerprints! Before you use your acrylic signs, use a microfibre cloth to polish them. We also recommend lying them flat when transporting and not placing anything on top of them.

  • We love seeing your signs come to life with styling. Check out our hire range for our available sign stands and contact Natalie at natalie@honeyandhivedesigns.com.au to receive a quote for your signage styling (e.g., florals, candles).
