Wedding Flowers at Coombe Yarra Valley
Coombe Yarra Valley — the historic estate once home to Dame Nellie Melba — is one of the region's most distinctive wedding venues. Seven acres of heritage gardens, century-old trees, and a light-filled clock tower reception give it a sense of provenance few venues can match. It's a place layered with history and elegance, and florals here work best when they honour that timelessness rather than overwhelm it.
Sassafras designs abundant, foam-free, textural florals for couples and planners celebrating at Coombe. With thirty years of experience, we design to the estate's heritage character — refined, organic, and never predictable.
Designing for the spaces at Coombe
The Italian Garden — a secluded, European-style garden framed by sculpted hedges and pencil pines — is one of Coombe's most iconic ceremony spaces, and we design either with floral installations or in restraint to let the garden's own architecture speak. Beneath the Oak Tree, believed to be over 180 years old, ceremonies feel grand and intimate at once, and we add floral moments that complement the natural drama without competing. The restored clock tower reception, with its timber ceiling, full-height windows and candlelit surrounds, is made for richly textural tablescapes that come alive as night falls.
Why couples choose Sassafras for Coombe
Coombe's blend of heritage charm and modern elegance rewards a florist who can read both.

Our familiarity with the estate makes the day run smoothly.
