When should I contact my florist?
We recommend contacting us at least 6 months prior to your wedding date, as we prefer to only book one wedding per weekend and those busy wedding months book up quickly! You don’t have to know exactly what you want at that point, but we would like to get the date set and gather some minor information. We will schedule a consultation to review further details in the near future.

Where do I start when deciding what kind of flowers I need for my wedding day?
First of all, make a list of your favorite flowers and colors. Browse your wedding magazines and mark anything that you like, this is a great way to find what style you like. Remember that this is one of the most important days of your life; the flowers that you choose to carry down the aisle should be a reflection of you. Your bouquet will be in many pictures so it should be exactly what you always dreamed of. It may also help to make a list of what flowers you will need for your special day; start with your bridal party and families and then make a list of what you might want for the ceremony and reception sites. This list will help you to stay on track during your first consultation with your florist.

Do I need to define my budget?
It is a good idea to let us know what kind of budget you have in mind, so we can offer better suggestions regarding flower choice and how to most wisely allot your budget. Many brides have a difficult time defining a budget before the first meeting, as this is their first major flower purchase. We will gladly help you define a budget during our consultation.

What should I bring to my first consultation?
During this first meeting, we look forward to getting to know you and your ideas for your perfect wedding day! We recommend bringing your mother or a bridesmaid; they are always reliable for an honest opinion! Please bring a list of your flower needs, a swatch or picture of your gown and the bridesmaids’ dresses, and pictures of the ceremony and reception sites if you have them. We will be browsing wedding books and our portfolio to help you gather some ideas to help you find the perfect flowers to fit your perfect day.

What kind of flowers are in season for my wedding?
Many brides look to the season for wedding inspiration. It is also less expensive to use flowers that are in season. Spring wedding flowers include tulips, hyacinths, lilies, lilacs, peonies, delphinium and sweet peas. Summer flowers showcase hydrangea, sunflowers, zinnia and gerber daisies. Fall flowers offer asters, mums, dahlias and hypericum berries. Winter flowers include star of Bethlehem, narcissus, tulips and berries. Many flowers are available year round such as calla lilies, roses, orchids, stephanotis and gardenias.
