FAQ
We get a lot of the same questions from couples in the early stages of planning, and we love that! It means you are doing your research and thinking carefully about this decision.
Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most:
I have a Pinterest board but I have no idea what it costs. Where do I even start?
This is exactly where most of our clients are when they first reach out, and it is completely normal. Pinterest is a great tool for capturing a feeling, but it does not come with price tags. The honest answer is that what your vision costs depends on your guest count, your venue, the specific elements you want, and the time of year. The best thing you can do is share your board with us and let us tell you what we are seeing. We will give you a realistic picture of what your inspiration translates to, and if there is a gap between your vision and your budget, we will talk through your options honestly rather than quietly scaling things back without telling you.
I know what I like but I struggle to put it into words. Will that be a problem?
Not at all. This describes the majority of our clients. You do not need to arrive with a fully formed brief. You need images, a feeling, and a willingness to share the details that matter to you, whether that is a color, a texture, a venue photo, or something about your relationship or family that you want woven into the design. The more context you give us, the more personal and cohesive the result. Our job is to translate what you are showing us into something that feels completely you. That translation is part of the service.
Why is your quote higher than other florists I have spoken to?
We hear this occasionally, and we always answer it the same way. When you are comparing quotes, make sure you are comparing the same things. A lower quote often means smaller arrangements, fewer stems, less texture, or scaled-back installations. The design looks right on paper but does not fill the room the way your inspiration photos do. We do not quietly reduce the scope to hit a number. If your budget does not match your vision, we tell you that directly and give you options. What you see in our proposal is what you will see on your wedding day.
Our quotes also include delivery, setup, breakdown, and taxes. There are no surprise fees after you book.
What does a typical investment look like?
Our clients generally fall into three ranges depending on the scope of their design.
Couples investing $8,000 to $11,000 typically include personal florals, a ceremony focal structure, short and medium centerpieces, cocktail decor, candles, and sweetheart table decor. It is a beautiful, cohesive design that covers the full event.
Couples investing $12,000 to $19,000 add statement moments to that foundation: tall centerpieces, florals along the aisle, bar and signage decor. This is where most of our clients land, and it is the range where we have the most creative range to work with.
Couples investing $20,000 and above are looking for the full environment. Ceiling installations, large floral backdrops, linens and chargers. Everything designed and coordinated by one team.
We have a Friday and Saturday minimum of $8,000. Weekday events can fall below that depending on guest count and scope.
What is included in your pricing?
Every proposal we send includes delivery, setup, breakdown, and taxes. The number you see is the number you pay. We build it this way intentionally because we believe the planning process should feel good, not like a series of surprises.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before our first meeting?
No. Bring your inspiration images, your venue details, a rough guest count, and a general sense of what you are hoping to invest. That is enough to have a real conversation. We will ask questions, look through what you have gathered, and start to build a picture together. Many of our clients tell us the consultation was the first time the design actually started to take shape for them.
Can you help with more than just flowers?
Yes. We have an extensive in-house rental inventory that includes candles, arches, columns, containers, chandelier stands, hedge walls, and faux trees We also coordinate linens, chargers, and lounge furniture through our vendor partners, handling all the ordering, timing, and delivery so you do not have to manage a separate relationship.
For couples without a full-service planner, this matters. It means one team is holding the full environment together rather than you coordinating multiple vendors across different timelines.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least five months before your wedding date. Our calendar fills up, particularly for Fridays and Saturdays, and the earlier you book, the more time we have to develop your design thoughtfully. Most of our clients have their venue, photographer, and planner in place before reaching out to us.
Do you offer a mockup so I can see the design before the wedding day?
Yes. Clients can request a floral mockup to preview centerpiece designs before the wedding. The mockup is priced at the cost of the floral items used, not a flat fee. It is a great opportunity to confirm your color direction, adjust texture, and see exactly what your table will look like before the day arrives. We do ask for at least two weeks notice to schedule one.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Orlando, Florida and serve clients within approximately three hours of our studio. For events beyond 60 miles, a travel fee applies in addition to our standard setup and breakdown fees.
What do you not do?
We are a floral and decor company, not a planning or coordination company. We do not create event timelines, floor plans, or seating charts. If you need those services, we are happy to refer you to planners we trust and work with regularly.
