Questions?
What if I don't have a vision for my wedding flowers?
Chances are, you've never worked with wedding flowers before, but I have! I love guiding couples in developing their vision. I'll ask questions to help you determine the styles you like and don't like.
Do you have set pricing or packages for your designs? How much should I expect to spend?
All of our weddings are custom to each couple! The pricing will depend on multiple factors such as arrangement size, flower quantity, labor, travel, the cost of specific flowers used, etc. Each wedding varies, hence there are no fixed prices, only starting points for individual pieces. The starting prices provide transparency to you regarding the minimum cost you can expect for each item, allowing you to understand the baseline expenses associated with your floral needs. For most of our couples, costs range from $4000 to $10,000+.
Does the time of year affect what type of flowers I should want?
I prioritize creating designs inspired by style and color rather than specific flower types. While I prefer using seasonal blooms for their quality and affordability, I'm flexible with options like roses, carnations, and tropicals, available year-round. During growing season, I will source locally grown flowers whenever possible.
Why are wedding flowers more expensive?
I go the extra mile to ensure the highest quality flowers for your event by custom ordering for specific color palettes and luxe blooms. Detailed planning precedes ordering, ensuring personalized designs.
Throughout the week of your event, I carefully monitor flower development and hydration to avoid early blooming.
Beyond flower costs, pricing factors include deliveries, installations, takedowns, and additional help. I navigate unpredictable elements like weather and supply fluctuations to create perfect arrangements tailored to your special day. It's an honor to be part of it!
Why do I need a wedding floral designer? Can't I just DIY?
• Expertise: As a floral designer, I have a deep knowledge of flowers and their unique requirements. I thoughtfully order in flowers for each wedding, carefully hydrating and processing them to ensure they last throughout the day. With years of experience, I know the tricks to get the flowers to open to their optimal state, and can keep them at their peak in my cooler. I understand that not all flowers require the same approach, and as an expert, I can guarantee the best results.
• Design: Floral arrangements are not just beautiful, but require time, patience, and practice to perfect. I have spent years perfecting the design process, taking into account the number of flowers, greenery, and overall scale of each arrangement. In addition, there are correct mechanics required to achieve each design. I also take the time to plan months ahead to prepare for each wedding to make sure all details are perfect.
• Flexibility: Flowers are delicate and unexpected issues may arise during the wedding day. As a professional, I have the confidence and expertise to adjust quickly and seamlessly to ensure that the floral arrangements stay as beautiful and intact as possible.
• Stress-Free: Planning a wedding can be stressful, and the week of the wedding should not be filled with flower preparation. I take care of all the preparation at my studio, allowing you and your loved ones to enjoy the wedding experience stress-free. This allows you to have peace of mind that the flowers will be perfectly arranged and ready to go for your special day.
Will you travel for our event?
I want to make sure that your flowers are delivered to you in the best condition possible, no matter where your event is held. That's why I offer a mileage rate and any additional travel fees based on the specific needs of your event. Whether it's a local or destination wedding, I will do my best to provide you with the freshest flowers possible.
For destination weddings, I have established relationships with wholesalers who can deliver flowers to me. However, I also make an effort to work with local flower distributors whenever possible, to ensure that the flowers I use are in tune with the local climate and environment.
My goal is to provide you with stunning floral designs that fit your unique needs and event location, no matter where that may be.
