HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I CONTACT YOU ABOUT FLOWERS?​

You should have your date and venue selected before submitting a serious inquiry. This is to make sure I am available on your date. Most clients book their flowers 6-12 months in advance; however, I am willing to work with you 60 days from your event date.​​

​

HOW DO I BOOK YOU FOR AN EVENT?​

Once you have filled out and submitted the inquiry form found here, I will contact you to set up a phone or Zoom consultation. An approximate estimate will be emailed if we decide to work together. 

I require a 25% retainer to secure your date, due when you sign your contract. Now the fun begins! You will receive a mood board reflecting your vision (this is where changes can be made). We will meet in person or via Zoom 6-8 weeks before your event date to finalize the details.

Final payment is due 30 days before your wedding/event.​

​

CAN YOU GUARANTEE SPECIFIC FLOWER REQUESTS?​

While I always do my best to source your favorite flowers, sometimes Mother Nature has a mind of her own! Seasonal availability, weather, flower durability, crop conditions, or other factors beyond my control are always taken into account. I recommend keeping an open mind and thinking more about the overall design and color palette of your vision.

​

DO YOU HAVE A CANCELLATION POLICY?​

Yes. Details will be described in your contract.

​​

WHAT INFLUENCES THE COST OF FLOWERS?​

Seasonality: Flowers in season tend to be more cost-effective.

Quality: Premium blooms, like peonies, garden roses, or butterfly ranunculus cost 8-10x more than a standard red rose, carnations, or a spray of mums.

Time/Labor/Complexity: A small centerpiece requires less planning, design time, and manpower compared to a large-scale floral installation!

Stem Count: A wedding bouquet can use anywhere from 30-40 flower stems. A birthday or get-well bouquet you might gift to someone typically has only 10-12 stems.

​

WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR FLOWERS?​

As a commitment to sustainability, I do my best to source seasonal, U.S. grown flowers as often as possible.

This reduces my carbon footprint and supports our local farmers.
