Bump In & Out:
- Bump in is permitted from 9am (NSW time) on the morning of the wedding. All installations and styling pieces must be removed by midnight on the wedding evening;
- If your florist cannot remove your installation/s or if Bellingdale Farm staff are required to bump-out any styling/belongings for you we can offer our staff to do this for a fee (starting from $150). This fee will be deducted from your security deposit if your florist/stylist does not return;
Flowers & Styling:
- All installations require prior approval so we may discuss rigging points and weight limits etc. with the supplier;
