Most of our clients typically allocate between $4,500 and $10,000 for their complete floral and event design needs.

Yes, our proposal includes a Designers fee which includes the Set-Up, Break-down and Transition. It varies depending on the scope of work.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK FLORAL SERVICES FOR MY WEDDING OR EVENT?
We recommend booking floral services at least 6-12 months in advance to ensure availability and allow for ample time for planning and customization.
DO YOU OFFER A FREE CONSULTATION OR QUOTE FOR FLORAL SERVICES?
Yes, we offer complimentary consultations to discuss your vision, budget, and floral needs. The consultations usually last 45 minutes to an hour. We also provide personalized quotes based on your specific requirements.
WHERE DO THE CONSULTATIONS TAKE PLACE?
As a home-based Floral Designer, we understand that a significant number of our clients coordinate their plans from afar. Hence, we offer virtual consultations through Google Meet to ensure a personalized experience. Approximately half of our wedding clientele engage in remote planning, with face-to-face meetings scheduled exclusively on their wedding day. For local clients, we extend the option of in-person consultations by appointment only.
HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR MY CONSULTATION APPOINTMENT WITH YOU?
We understand that we may be an earlier vendor booked to ensure your date is secure with us. To make the most out of your initial consultation with us, come prepared with a general color palette, budget range, rough quantities of items on your wish list and a Pinterest board if you have one. This will allow us to provide a mood board and a more accurate proposal should you wish to book with us! The details can always be determined after you have more time to plan. It’s most important to secure your date!
HOW OFTEN DO WE NEED TO MEET?
Most floral and/or design clients only meet with us for an initial consultation. From there most communication is done via email unless we are providing a sampling or need to see anything additional in person. There aren’t monthly meetings or updates that are scheduled and necessary for every client.
DO YOU PROVIDE MOCKUPS?
I offer mockups for guest table centerpieces but not for Bridal Bouquets as they are unique and magical pieces. Mockups are available for an additional fee, providing a visual preview of the size and shape of your floral arrangements to ensure expectations are met. Please note that each bloom varies due to factors like weather and season, making exact replication impossible. Ideal for those prioritizing design, mockups are pricier than a single centerpiece due to bulk ordering. Typically, mockups are scheduled 45 days before the event to ensure the availability of seasonal blooms.
CAN WE KEEP THE FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS?
Absolutely, all arrangements can be brought home. However, we do not allow vases and other hardgoods to be taken home, such as non- fresh floral decor items, vase fillers and bleached ingredients rocks, marbles, sand, feathers, pampas grass, any dried or bleach ingredient not included in personals as these are rental items. If you wish to take this home, please let us know ahead of time to make the proper arrangement for this item to go home.
ARE YOU INSURED?
Yes, we are happy to provide proof upon request.
