Frequently Asked Questions

Our hydrangeas are available January – March, during peak Canterbury summer when the plants are naturally in bloom.

This seasonal window ensures the plants look full, healthy and abundant for your wedding.

We are currently preparing our hydrangea fleet for the 2027 wedding season.

Our standard wedding package includes:

• 12 large Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ plants

• Delivery to your venue

• Professional placement before the ceremony

• Collection after the ceremony

Additional plants can be added for larger ceremonies or for repositioning during the reception.

Yes.

Many couples choose to reposition the hydrangeas after the ceremony so they continue to style the reception space.

For example:

• framing the head table

• placed at the ends of long dining tables

• styling an entrance or bar area

We are happy to discuss the best layout for your venue.

Yes — the hydrangeas are living plants grown locally in Canterbury.

Unlike cut flowers, the plants are reused season after season, making this a more sustainable alternative to traditional ceremony florals.

Travel throughout Ōtautahi Christchurch is included. Weddings in Banks Peninsula and North Canterbury will include an additional travel fee.

Travel beyond this area may be possible depending on the location and schedule.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for summer weekends.

Availability is limited to ensure the plants are carefully prepared and presented for each wedding.

Your date is secured with a deposit at the time of booking.

The remaining balance is due prior to the wedding.

Yes.

Our hydrangeas are often arranged along the ceremony aisle to create a simple but abundant entrance for the bride.

Because the plants are large and full, just a small number can create a beautiful aisle setting without the need for elaborate floral arrangements.

Yes.

Jake’s Jungle provides hydrangea wedding styling for ceremonies across Ōtautahi Christchurch and Canterbury.

Our approach is slightly different from traditional floristry — using living plants to create a natural and generous ceremony setting.

Many couples choose hydrangeas because they provide large-scale impact without the cost of extensive floral installations.

Because the plants are reused rather than cut, they can be a simpler and more sustainable alternative to traditional ceremony flowers.

In most cases, yes.

Hydrangeas are surprisingly versatile and can work beautifully in many different settings — from garden ceremonies and vineyard weddings to halls, churches and coastal venues.

Because the plants are large and styled in simple matte black pots, they create a clean and abundant look that complements both formal and relaxed wedding spaces.

We’re always happy to suggest a layout that suits your venue and ceremony setting.
