frequently asked questions
I want something really unique, but Pinterest and Instagram aren’t hitting the spot, how do I go about finding my style?
We feel this. Instagram and pinterest are saturated with beautiful designs, and we understand how overwhelming finding inspiration online can be.
If you want to really elevate your florals and make something unique, let us know and we will hit the drawing board and come back with some ideas for you.
We’ve done weddings with 2 months notice, we’ve also done weddings with 18 months notice. From a planning perspective, the more time, the better, but anything is possible!
How far in advance do I need to book?
Do you offer pre-wedding mock-ups?
No, we don’t.
An important part of our creative process is that our client gives us their full trust to create for them. All of your envisioned designs will be outlined in your bespoke mood board, and we take it from there to create floral magic. However, we are always happy to help calm any nerves- just simply reach out!
What is the difference between full service florals and elopement/intimate weddings?
The key differences are the scale of the work being produced, the required labour and the consultation/design process.
For a full service wedding, an entire day is blocked out of our calendar exclusively for you. We put a lot of hours into refining the vision and designing something that’s uniquely yours. We’re up at 5am on the day, and packing down at midnight.
For elopements and intimate weddings, it’s a very simple process. You choose a colour palette, and you leave the rest up to us. We deliver to one location only, and all vases are yours to keep, so we don’t have to come back to pack up.
We’re more than happy to help you get the most out of your budget. We ask you to think about your wedding flowers, and what is the most important part that you envision. For some, it’s the ceremony. For others, it may be the reception tables.
This is something we can discuss during our consultation after we send you a quote.
How do we best allocate our budget?
Do you offer hire items?
We don’t charge for the use of any of our vases or plinths, unless you wish to keep them. We have sets of vases that we love to use, however if you have a specific vision in mind, let’s chat!
What is bump in/bump out? How are costs determined?
Bump in begins we are given access to the venue to set up. Depending on the venue, this can be as little as 1 hour, or up to 5 hours.
Bump out is done at the end of your wedding when we collect all of our items. If we are gift wrapping, we usually arrive about 30 minutes before the lights come on and the music dies down, and begin the process of gift wrapping flowers for you and your guests. Due to heat, wind, other weather conditions and being moved around the venue spaces etc., sometimes the flowers aren’t very fresh by the end of the night so in this case we will only bunch what is still in good enough condition.
Costs are determined by the logistics and scale of your wedding (how many staff members are need to bump in/out, travel to and from, how long we are allocated by the venue etc.)
Absolutely! We love to repurpose. Depending on the weather and design of your ceremony flowers, we can move them to the reception space and dress up either the bar, bridal table, cake table etc.. the possibilities are endless. The placements and logistics of this are dependant on a lot of things, so let us know and we will discuss in more detail.
Can we reuse our ceremony flowers at the reception?
What happens in extreme weather?
For rain, your venue should have a wet weather plan outlined for you. We can discuss how your ceremony will look in the new designated space and make any changes to ensure your flowers stay within our vision, and remain cohesive with the rest of your wedding.
In the event of a hot weather, we take extra precautions to ensure your flowers will survive. However, sometimes venues set strict times for us to set up and your flowers will be exposed to the elements longer than we would reccomend.
After I lock in my date with a deposit, can I change the style or remove items closer to the date?
The quote can be edited, and colours/style can be altered if your vision changes along the planning process. Once the deposit is paid and the booking form signed, a reduction clause is set in place and the total of the quote cannot be decreased by more than 10% with changes or item eliminations. No changes can be made after 4 weeks out from the event date as this is when we order your beautiful flowers.
