Floral Frequently Asked Questions

• Can you deliver flowers to the wedding location and/or reception? What is the charge?

Yes, we certainly can. The delivery fee starts at $25 and goes up depending on what set-up is needed on site.

• Will you spend time setting up the flowers? How long? Is there an extra charge?

Flowers are typically made at the store but more extensive designs can be assembled on site. Fee depends on quantity of designs and what is needed for set up. Fees start at $50 and up.

• What is your design philosophy? Minimal? Traditional? Elegant? Edgy? Modern?

We do everything from upscale traditional arrangements, very modern European artistic designs, and also fun whimsical designs.

• How many weddings do you work a year? What is the maximum number of weddings you book for a certain day?

Typically one or two a month during the summer. We try to limit the amount of weddings we do per day (certainly a larger wedding we can only have one per day), but when someone wants just a few centerpieces and smaller items, we could do several on the same day.

• Do you provide vases, arches, trellises, candelabras, and urns? What is the charge?

We can coordinate rentals for anything that is needed for the special day. Costs depend on quantity and styles that are chosen.

• Can you preserve the bouquet after the wedding? Is this included or an extra charge?

We do not provide this service but can refer you to someone who does.

• How many people work at your shop? Will you personally design the floral arrangements?

There are at least three staff members in the floral department but more are brought on for larger events. All our designs are made in-house by a European trained designer.

• Do you offer any silk or dried flower arrangements? Are they available for rent?

We do not normally stock silk or dried flowers but they can be special ordered when prepaid.

• When will you purchase (days before event) the wedding flowers? Do you have a refrigerator on-site?

Purchase dates depend upon flowers and their availability. Flowers such as lilies maybe purchased up to a week ahead in order for them to open here so as to not get bruised. More delicate flowers such as gardenias, stephanotis, sweet peas, lily of the valley, etc. would be purchased a day or two in advance. We have ample refrigerator space on site.

• In the past, how have you personalized the arrangement design to fit the wedding theme or couple?

In talking to the couple and/or family, we try to get a feel of who they are and create personal arrangements that fit them. Some examples would be black dahlias with black calla lilies, chocolate cosmos, and red roses, while another client had soft pink hydrangeas with hot pink roses, and still another had anemone yellow dahlias with seashells.

• Do you coordinate all the personal flowers? Can you stay for the ceremony? Is this an extra charge?

All the personal flowers can be accommodated on site and would be included in the cost of set up.
