Question 1

Do you have a minimum spend for weddings?

Accepted Answer

While I do not have a minimum, my average wedding is $1500-$2500 with larger weddings ranging $3000+. I take on a limited number of micro-wedding orders when my schedule allows.

Question 2

How far in advance should we order our wedding flowers?

Accepted Answer

Typically, the sweet spot for booking me is 9-12 months in advance as I take a limited number of weddings each month. I book up to about a year and half out; however, due to ever changing cost of supplies I do not book weddings farther out than this. I definitely recommend having a few details figured out first. For example: Have you selected the location for your ceremony/ reception? What’s your wedding style? Do you have your dress picked out? This can help make sure your florals work with your overall vision.

Question 3

What is your service area? Do you do delivery/set up?

Accepted Answer

As a faux flower florist specializing in sola wood, things works a bit different. I aim to have your florals complete 1 month prior to your wedding, so you have one less thing to stress about on your day. I do not offer delivery/set up. You may pick up your flowers when they are ready or have them shipped anywhere in the US!

Question 4

What flowers are in season for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

With wood flowers (or silk or paper), no flower is ever out of season. Isn't that great! With me, you can pick your flower style and even the exact colors you'd like them to be! You can have sunflowers in winter or purple and teal roses...no limit to your vision!

Question 5

Can you preserve our flowers after the wedding?

Accepted Answer

No need! Sola wood flowers won't wilt and will stay just as they are for years to come. I recommend keeping out of direct sunlight and away from where they might be knocked. Occasional light dusting is helpful, as well. You can choose to deconstruct your bouquet and make it into a beautiful arrangement, heart board, shadow box or more or just leave your bouquet in a vase as gorgeous centerpiece.

Question 6

Do you only work with sola wood flowers?

Accepted Answer

No. Besides hand-painted wood flowers, I can also work with silk flowers and paper flowers. I also occasionally work in fabric flowers, as well.

Question 7

What are sola wood flowers?

Accepted Answer

Sola wood flowers are made of natural and sustainable resources. The main 3 plants are the cassava, Aeschynomene aspera, or balsa wood which are shaved in to thin sheets and used to make the wood flowers. They are biodegradable and their natural color is a light ivory.

Question 8

Do you work with fresh flowers?

Accepted Answer

No, I do not work with fresh flowers at all. I do use dried and preserved florals sometimes in my work but I hand paint sola wood flowers for my weddings and events and combine these with faux greenery. Wood flowers are made from a biodegradable, earth-friendly materials called sola wood.
