We wholeheartedly believe the collective design is what makes an event really shine. That's why we price each project as a full concept versus itemizing each arrangement. We love how this gives us the flexibility to go above and beyond when styling wedding flowers!
The very first thing we want to do is to hear all about your vision! We find the best way to do this is for you to share your visual inspiration with us. It is especially helpful if you walk us through what you love about each inspiration photo, so we fully understand what you are drawn too.
After that, we will help you visualize your wedding from the beginning to the end. As we touch on each area, we ask you to share your ideas. We will also lend suggestions on where floral elements may enhance the overall design. Once we gathered all the information we can, we like to discuss budget and fill you in on our process as well as next steps.
With all the information we gathered from you, we will start our design process. This process includes the creation of style boards that represent your wedding party flowers, ceremony flowers, cocktail hour and reception flowers. We will also highlight the primary and secondary flowers and greenery we envision incorporating. We find that our detailed style boards really help clarify the overall vision. The final step of this process includes the creation of an itemized list with detailed descriptions of each arrangement.
Because we invest several hours into this process, we require a $100 design fee to get started. This fee is credited towards the final balance should you decide to move forward with booking us.
After you approve the style boards and the itemized list of arrangements, we begin the pricing process. This always starts with the creation of custom recipes for each of your one-of-a-kind arrangements. From there we tally the materials and labor necessary to execute your design. We work with our network of wholesalers to find the best product for the look, as well as season and budget. After all the proper information is gathered, we will send you an estimate.
Once we work out the perfect balance of overall vision to price, we draw up the floral contract. Locking in our services requires a 50% deposit and a signed copy of the contract.
Six weeks prior to your event, we like to check in to gather important information and make any necessary changes based off the logistics and final guest count. With this information, we update the contract.
One month prior to your event date is when the final payment is due. Once this payment is made, we place the final order for all the necessary product to design your event.
Our first stop on the event date is always to deliver the wedding party flowers. Often times, seeing your bouquet for the first time on the wedding day is the catalyst that makes the whole day feel real. We wouldn't miss that magic for the world.
Next up, we like to get to the venue as early as possible so we have plenty of time to design the larger pieces on site. We work closely with your coordinator to ensure a smooth set up.
Once all of the contracted arrangements are in place, we take some time to style any leftover flowers and greenery in areas that might benefit from a floral accent.
Should you need it, we also offer floral breakdown services where we retrieve all necessary arrangements and rentals at the end of the night.
If you want to donate your flowers at the end of the night, we offer flower donation delivery to a handful of retirement homes on the island for an additional fee.
