Frequently Asked Questions for Flowers & Decor
What type of decor (if any) do you offer?
We have a vast collection of rental items - containers, arbors, archways, antique columns, props & we often are willing to purchase new items to suit individual clients.
 
Do you provide non-floral additions to floral arrangements?
We have a large collection of specialty ribbons and candles/candle holders.
 
Do you offer full-services, such as wedding day setup, for an additional fee?
We offer full service. We spend a lot of time getting to know each client and their vision, then we design it and set it up on site. We work up a very detailed estimate of every item discussed at our initial consultation, which include pricing for each item - setup & transport fees are included on every estimate. We recommend clients be forthcoming with their budget in order for us to guide them in the right direction. Flower budgets can range from 8%-12% of your entire wedding budget.
 
Di you have not worked at the ceremony or reception sites previously, would you be willing to visit the sites before the event?
We always travel to new locations prior to the event, which is important for the design plan as well as timeliness on the day of the event.
 
Do you offer flower preservation services?
No.

Tips and Advice
If you are looking for a floral designer for your event it is important to setup an appointment to meet with them well in advance of your event.  If you are planning a wedding or event for a popular month of the year (May, June, & October) it is a good idea to contact them 8 months to 1 year in advance and a minimum of 6 months in advance for all times of the year. 
You want to hire a florist that has good referalls from other vendors - if vendors like working with them, then that means they are professional, easy to work with, on time, and create designs that are succesful.  You also want to hire a florist that has a portfolio of their own work to show you - pictures of events they have created.  If they pull out a standard florist workbook and can not show you their own work you should consider other options.  You should realize that if you are hiring a florist that is highly recommended then it is likely that they will have more than one event on the same day - remember they are professional and should be able to manage more than your event unless you are willing to pay their required minimum to reserve them completely for that day.  If they are reputable they will only accept as many events as they can handle succesfully on any given day, so times, locations and party sizes play a large part in planning each day.  Be wary of florists that offer cash incentives and that require deposits at your first meeting - it is best to get a detailed estimate before commiting to any vendor.
