Ok, I'll admit it. I get goose bumps when we work with Wisteria. You only need to meet Russell to know he's your man. I recall a Persian wedding that we provided mood lighting for that mimi design coordinated. It was breathtaking. I was also one of the most amazing examples of quality and attention to detail I have ever seen. Make an appointment!
Russell and Sam are always a pleasure to work with -- truly professional and creative! We love it when they design the flowers for a wedding at our hotel - graves601hotel!
LOVE Wisteria and recommend them to every one of my couples. They never disappoint. When I ask my brides post-wedding about their vendors they always rave about Russell's talent and how well they felt they were taken care of. You guys make my photos awesome and I love seeing you at our weddings!!
When Wisteria makes flowers for a wedding, we know we are going to always have fun photographing them. Sam and Russell are true artists with tremendous talent. Their floral arrangements are always a surprise and a delight.

Frequently Asked Questions for Flowers & Decor
Do you offer free or for charge consultations?
Free
 
Do you provide free or for charge sample arrangements?
For Charge
 
Do you offer delivery, set up, and breakdown services?
Breakdown, Delivery, Setup
 
What type of decor (if any) do you offer?

We have a very extensive line of rental items from Aisle candles, to trellises, to large urns, to many different styles of high and low centerpiece fixtures in different styles. We can show you our line of rentals during your complimentary consultation.
 
Do you provide non-floral additions to floral arrangements?

We are open to many "non-floral" type accents especially when going for a particular "thematic" look. We try to STEER CLEAR of gimmicky things and use accent touches with class that don't detract from the flowers. Balloons? probably not.
 
Do you offer full-services, such as wedding day setup, for an additional fee?

Yes we do. We do not do a "deliver/drop" kind of service...we offer FULL delivery/ set services. Pinning on corsages/ boutonieres etc...decorating the ceremony and reception sites from start to finish. We make sure EVERY detail is perfect and is as we described in our detailed proposal/contract. We always go over and above what we promise. Ask ANY of our past brides. We have a wonderful support staff that helps us set up our larger weddings and events. We lovingly refer to them as "The Dream Team" and they have EARNED that title! Yes, there is an addtional fee for delivery/set. It is 12% of your flower cost. Our end of night pick up cost varies and is dependent on the amount and complexity of the tear down. Most venues will store rentals until Monday for us to pick up for a very modest fee of $50.
 
Di you have not worked at the ceremony or reception sites previously, would you be willing to visit the sites before the event?

DEFINITELY!!!! We firmly believe that the visuals of the site and our decor should work together. Site visits are always encouraged and are a part of our services.
 
Do you offer flower preservation services?

No, we don't, but we are happy to suggest people who do.
 
Do you offer any other specializations that have not been covered?

Yes we do. We frequently are asked to help our brides select linens and other related table setting rentals. We are MOST happy to assist and meet at the rental company of their choosing or suggest one. We do this free of charge as a service to our brides.

Tips and Advice
Set up a consultation AS FAR in advance as you can (i.e. once the venue, dress styles and colors are selected)  We STRICTLY limit the number of weddings we do in a weekend.   Once we are booked...we're booked ....and then have to turn you away.  In order to avoid any disappointment, come see us for a complimentary consultation and get your slot reserved.

Not ready for a consult but KNOW you want to hire us??  We will "hold the date" for a nominal $300 up to 6 months prior to your wedding.  At that time you need to come in and speak with us so that we can write up your wedding proposal / contract.  All deposits are non refundable.

We are here for YOU...to make your dreams come true......to make THIS part of your wedding FUN and CAREFREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Why go anywhere else???? :)
