The Flowers

Flowers Etc.

  1. What flowers are in season for the month I am getting married?

  2. Based on my color scheme and budget, what flowers do you recommend?

  3. Is there a difference in price if I use one type of flower vs. a mixed arrangement or bouquet?

  4. If I request it, can you provide any organic, pesiticide-free or sustainably grown varieties? TIP: Organic roses cost more, but last so much longer!

  5. What are the different kinds of wraps (called “collars” in florist-speak) you can do for my bouquet?

  6. What about coordinating boutonnières, bridesmaid flowers, and centerpieces? Can you suggest anything special to coordinate with the theme/venue/season of my event?

  7. What other décor can you provide (aisle runner, candelabras, trees, arches, votives, mirrors, etc.)? How will these items affect the overall cost?

    Lavender Hill

  8. If I provide you with a picture of a bouquet and/or arrangement that I like, can you recreate it?

  9. Do you have photos or live examples of florals designed in the style I want?

  10. Can you do sketches or mockups of the arrangements you’ve described before I sign the contract?

  11. Will you work with my cake designer if I decide to add flowers to my wedding cake? If so, is there an additional setup fee for this?

  12. How far in advance of the wedding will you create the bouquets and arrangements, and how are they stored?

  13. Can you assist me in the preservation of my bouquet after the wedding? If not, can you recommend someone?
