Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most popular questions we have received through the past 8 years.
You mentioned you are a “studio floral designer”… what does that mean?
A. Once you submit a contact form, we’ll respond within 24 hours with availability. If we’re a good fit, you’ll receive a fun 10-minute questionnaire followed by a link to schedule your complimentary virtual meeting or in-person consultation. After our chat, we’ll prepare a custom floral proposal and walk through it with you.
How do we schedule a consultation?
A: After you’ve submitted a CONTACT FORM, we’ll reply within 24 hours with our availability. If we are available, you’ll receive a fun, 1o minute questionnaire which will be followed by a link for you to schedule your complimentary phone call or Zoom consultation. After our consultation, we’ll prepare the proposal and review it with you
How much is your retainer and what is your payment schedule?
A: We require a 50% retainer to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding or event. For bookings made less than two months out, full payment is required at the time of booking.
How will I know that you understand my vision?
A: Our proposals include carefully curated inspiration images that reflect your style and preferences. These visuals help ensure we’re aligned and that you feel confident in our design direction.
What if my proposal doesn’t reflect my vision accurately?
A: During our consultation, we ask detailed questions to understand your vision. If adjustments are needed after booking, we’re happy to schedule a complimentary follow-up consultation to refine your proposal and make sure everything feels just right.
What happens if my event is postponed?
If your event is postponed due to circumstances beyond your control (as outlined in our force majeure clause), we offer the option to reschedule within 8 months of your original date for a 25% rebooking fee.
What is the difference between a proposal and a wedding design concept?
A: Our proposals are custom-made for each couple’s needs and are reviewed with each client before booking. Our wedding design concept is offered to any couple needing guidance with bringing all their ideas together to create a cohesive design. You are welcome to purchase our wedding design concept option in our shop.
What will I get with a custom wedding design concept?
This concept will be a great guide to executing the wedding of your dreams. You’ll receive a curated wedding design complete with suggested table linens, flatware, place settings and much more. Once purchased, we schedule a phone consultation to understand your wedding vision after which we’ll work on your custom concept and send it via email. The purchase includes up to three edits in case we missed the mark. Once you have approved the final concept you are welcomed to share it with any wedding vendors you’d like so they can provide you with quotes. Couples booking our services receive 50% from the cost of their concept applied to the total of their chosen wedding package. You can purchase this option online.
What is included in your pricing?

Where do you source your flowers?
A: We love using locally grown blooms whenever possible. Depending on seasonality and availability, we also source from trusted farms in the U.S., Holland, Ecuador, and Japan
Is greenery cheaper?
Not necessarily. Greenery requires the same care and processing as flowers, and we select unique varieties that complement our design aesthetic. Often, creating a greenery-only look still requires a high volume of product.
Are you a foam-free design studio?
A: Yes! We’re proud to design without floral foam due to its environmental impact. Most of our arrangements are foam-free, and we’re continually learning new techniques to become fully foam-free.
Will you be the person designing all the flowers for my wedding?
A: Absolutely. I personally design all bridal bouquets, while my talented team assists with centerpieces and other elements. Together, we create a cohesive and stunning floral experience.
Do you handle more than one event on the same day?
A: While our team is capable of managing multiple events, we prefer to focus on one wedding per weekend to ensure each couple receives our full attention. Exceptions are rare and only made under special circumstances.
How many weddings do you handle per year?
A: We now limit our bookings to 30–50 weddings annually. This allows us to provide a high-touch, boutique experience and honor the significance of each celebration with exceptional detail.
Do I get to keep the flowers after my event?
A: Yes! You’re welcome to keep all fresh florals. However, we will return for teardown to collect any rental items such as vases, candles, pedestals, silk branches, and arches.
