3.) How early before my wedding should I be thinking about wedding flowers?

A good time to schedule a consultation or start the conversation would be 6-9 months prior to the wedding. This will give the couple time to learn about their floral options and formalize the style and look they are going for.

5.) How will your wedding consultant work with me to achieve my vision for wedding florals?

We invite every couple to schedule a complimentary, non-obligatory consultation with our wedding consultant. During this consultation, we learn more about you and your wedding, and give you the opportunity to discuss about what we can do for you as well. After this consultation, we will email you an estimated quote based on your vison for your wedding flowers and what we hope to achieve for you. Should you decide to book us as your wedding florist, we will create a mock-up of your desired floral centerpiece and a second meeting will be scheduled to review this centerpiece, at which time a deposit is requested if you choose to work with us. During the second meeting, we will work with you to confirm details, make adjustments to your order (if any) and gather feedback on the mock-up of the centerpiece. Depending on your needs, we will be ready on your wedding day to bring your floral vision to life with!
