Question 1

Are you a sustainable florist?

Accepted Answer

Sustainability means one hundred different things to one hundred different people, so we don't specifically brand ourselves as "sustainable". However, sustainable environmental practices are an important aspect to our business. Specifically, our designs are free from toxic floral foam, we use local floral elements wherever possible, we give flowers new life after events through non-profit donation, and our studio practices responsible waste management through composting, recycling, and reuse as much as possible.

Question 2

What kind of investment can I expect?

Accepted Answer

This question comes up a lot! On average our couples invest $9-10k on their full service wedding florals. We only offer custom designs to meet the specific of our couples, so the amount you can expect to spend will vary based on your guest count, specific design goals, and distance from our studio. A good ball park estimate to start with is $50 per guest, but many couples spend upwards of $100+ per guest.

Question 3

Do you have a minimum?

Accepted Answer

For weddings and events in the upcoming event season we require a minimum investment of $7,000. Weddings and events taking place more than one event season in the future have a minimum of $10,000.

Question 4

Do I need a planner or coordinator?

Accepted Answer

Wholeheartedly YES. And no, your venue coordinator doesn't count.

We recommend at a minimum hiring an experienced month-of coordinator to help you get all the logistics finalized so the day runs smoothly and you and your family can enjoy it.

We do not require that you hire a planner or coordinator to book with us, but we do have a higher professional services fee if you choose to forego that service, simply because in our years of experience we have found that our time commitment leading up to a wedding and on the wedding day itself is much greater when a couple does not have an experienced professional managing that on their behalf.

Question 5

I've seen other florists offer day of coordination, do you offer this as well?

Accepted Answer

We understand many couples desire to reduce the number of teams they are communicating with (a planner can help you with that!), but day of coordination is not something we offer.

We feel strongly that our expertise is in flowers. On wedding day we are focused on making sure your flowers are perfect, and rely on experienced planners to manage other vendors and keep timelines intact.

A good planner will streamline your planning experience for you.

Question 6

When should I inquire?

Accepted Answer

To inquire you need a venue booked with a date, as well as an estimated guest count. We love when our brides have some direction on their design vision, but that is not required.

Question 7

What is your payment structure?

Accepted Answer

To reserve your date a 35% non-refundable retainer is required, along with a signed contract. We spread the rest over two payments, the first one being due halfway between booking and your event, and the final one 30 days out.
