Wedding FAQ's
Q: I see the pricing minimums on your website, but I'm just looking for tiny bridal party bouquets or centerpieces of just greenery or bud vases. Can you accommodate?
A: We do have our Garden Wedding collection just for this style weddings
Q: I am getting married at the courthouse and only need a bouquet and boutonniere.
A: As long as you completely trust us to make a knock-out bouquet and boutonniere for you with what we have available in the cooler that week, we are here to help! Due to minimums we have with our flower vendors, we can not accommodate specific requests for single bouquet work. Design consultations are not necessary, but if you would prefer to meet with us to discuss our consultation is $75 per hour or part of.
Q: My (aunt/sister/friend) wants to make our centerpieces, so we are only looking for an installation of an arch.
A: For weddings requiring onsite installation work need to meet our minimum of $4,000, when we are working with you as your florist we require that we provide all the florals for the day to maintain a cohesive design.
Q: Can I provide my own vessels/candles/props?
A: Of course! If you have your own vessels for centerpieces or would like to create your own please provide us a sample so we can accurately quote and ensure the pieces will work with the rest of the design plan.
Q: I'm going to be in town tomorrow, can I just swing by and talk about my wedding flowers with you?
A: So we can give you our undivided attention, we will only give consultations by appointment. We schedule an initial phone call before we get together in person so we can see if there is a natural fit for us to work together. After we've had an initial phone conversation we can schedule a consultation.
Q: Why do you charge a $250 design consultation fee?
A: Good question. We have struggled with this for years, however, we do like to take the time to get to know you and your fiancé during the consultation so we can create a design plan especially for you. We do not stamp out cookie cutter weddings, and we give each one lot of thought to all of the details of your wedding. Which takes time. It takes us hours to create a design plan for you, sourcing materials, creating recipes so we can give you accurate pricing, sketching ideas, maybe swinging by your venue if we've not been there before to give you a design that perfectly fits the venue and your vision.
Q: I'm pretty sure I'll be getting married next year. I love flowers, can I set up a time to talk with you?
A: We love flowers, too! We can understand your excitement, however, we only meet with couples after:
- The venue has been booked
- A solid idea of a floor plan is available
- Details like dress colors, linens colors have been chosen
These are significant details that must be decided before we can get to work on a your design plan. Once these decisions have been made, let's set up a time for an initial phone call and we can go from there.
Q: I'm getting married two years from now, how soon do your dates book up?
A: It varies year by year, but typically we start booking about a year ahead of time. Which is in line with most wedding venues.
