Question 1

What is the delivery fee?

Accepted Answer

For drop-off only events or in cases where we are meeting you for a pickup, local fee is $15 within just a few miles of our home address. For drop-off deliveries outside of this area, you may estimate delivery at $1/mile (round trip) though this number may not be exact. Since many weddings request or require a professional set up, we also charge a separate fee for event installation.

Question 2

Do you have a minimum spend for weddings?

Accepted Answer

No! However, we always consult to make sure the charges make sense. For example, if you only need a bouquet that's totally okay! But if your wedding is six hours away, we want to make sure you are aware of the travel fees that would incur first.

Question 3

What should we expect at our consultation? Do we need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

Consultations last approximately 1 hour but can take up to 2 for larger weddings. Please bring with details about your wedding like your budget, style, inspiration, quantities of pieces, etc. This can include images of your venue, photos of your wedding attire, fabric swatches, your color palette, photos from social media, and more. The more information and ideas you provide, the better we can customize to you. After your consultation, we will draw up a proposal with prices and email it to you.

Question 4

Do you handle flower breakdown after the ceremony?

Accepted Answer

We do offer this service for an additional charge. The actual charges may vary depending on the extensiveness of the breakdown, and whether or not our team is obligated to remain on site or nearby (essentially, on call) for the entire event.

Question 5

How far in advance should we order our wedding flowers?

Accepted Answer

For weddings in May and October, sooner is better. These are the most popular months and book first. For holiday weddings, you may need to book a year or more in advance. For most of the rest of the year, 3-6 months is is usually enough time. (For example, get the quote about 6 months out, so you can book and get the first payment in by the 5 month mark.)

Question 6

Can I see a mockup of proposed flowers?

Accepted Answer

Mockups are available for an additional fee for all events, and are charged at our daily rate markups. Mockups may include similar flowers and are not guaranteed to be the exact varieties that we will use in your wedding, which we are happy to explain during your consult.

Question 7

What flowers are in season for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Many flowers are available from a variety of sources year-round, however certain ones and certain types of greenery do have off seasons. If you have a specific flower that you wish to incorporate, please let us know so we can advise if it will be in season for your planned date.

Question 8

Can you provide any decor other than flowers?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We have our own inventories that we can use, often at no additional charge. (We do keep a credit card on file in the event of lost or damaged items.) Please ask for details at your consultation.

Question 9

Can you preserve our flowers after the wedding?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, we do not offer flower preservation. However if you do plan to have your flowers preserved, please let us know at your consultation so that we can help you select a specialist that we can work with. Some flowers require special handling in order to be ready for preservation.

Question 10

Do you handle destination weddings?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to consult with you about a destination wedding to see if we or a florist local to the area would be the best fit for your event.

Question 11

Do you offer any other non-floral services?

Accepted Answer

Typically we do not handle non-floral requests unless it is related to use or movement of floral pieces. We will work with your site coordinator related to floral movements. Some couples choose to "repurpose" certain floral pieces from the ceremony to the reception, and we can assist with these movements for an additional fee.

Question 12

Do you do silk/faux flowers? What about Sola?

Accepted Answer

We can do high quality silks! This is a popular solution for people who are travelling or planning a destination event, and encounter unique challenges with fresh florals. This is a great solution to a product availability concern, however it can sometimes be more expensive than live cut flowers. We are not a Sola Wood representative.

Question 13

What is your service area? Are there any special fees?

Accepted Answer

We are located near Richmond, VA and that is our "home base" of operation. We do events outside of the area, sometimes crossing state lines! We charge a mileage-based delivery fee, plus if we are more than 75 miles we charge a $100 setup; this is an hour of us on site as needed before heading back. For events in certain areas and all events more than 3 hours from us we stay overnight, and actual cost of hotel is charged as well. All of these are discussed ahead of time, and we do our best to ensure it makes sense before booking.
