Consultations

We quote each wedding based on individual needs and preferences. We ask that you call to schedule a consultation a few days ahead of time. You should bring pictures of flowers and designs that you find appealing. We also suggest that you bring a picture of your gown and bridal party dresses in order to give us an overall idea of your style. It is also important for you to bring any fabric swatches for us to use to match or contrast your colors more accurately.

It is helpful to bring pictures of your ceremony location if you are considering floral decorations for the altar, pews or entrance. Floral decorations can range from a single altar piece to very elaborate designs. Many facilities offer candelabras or other items for use in ceremonies, check with your clergy. If you will be using an aisle runner, be sure to check isle length and note the flooring, is it carpeting, wood or stone?

You may wish to select floral decorations for your ceremony that could be used in your reception to economize your budget. Be sure to check with your church on floral donation policies and arrange for a family member or friend to bring the flowers from the ceremony to the reception or utilize our transportation service.

When considering centerpieces for your reception, ask the facility manager if any items are provided. Some facilities provide hurricane lamps, mirrors or other items that could be used alone or enhanced with floral decorations.

If you are planning to use candles in your ceremony or reception, be sure to check on any restrictions with your facilities manager.

Many brides use fresh flowers for cake decorations. Bows and small floral decorations can be placed on the knife and cake server as well. We recommend a separate bouquet for tossing which is generally placed on the cake table.

The time of year your wedding takes place can have a significant impact on the cost. Some flowers are more expensive at certain times of the year due to seasonal availability and approaching holidays such as Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day.

We generally book no more than two weddings per date to ensure our staff has adequate time to prepare your designs.

As your wedding day approaches we will call you to re-verify delivery times, photo sessions, etc. It is very important that you keep us abreast of any changes in your wedding or reception to allow adequate time for us to change your order at the wholesale level and to schedule delivery. The flowers for your wedding are brought in several days ahead of time in order to allow them to fully develop and open. We cannot always guarantee the availability of flowers to match your order if you make changes too close to your wedding day.
