Frequently Asked Questions

	Do you have wedding packages? We don't like that "one-size-fits-all" concept. This does not mean you will pay more for your flowers; it means your wedding will be custom-fit for your tastes, needs, and budget.
	Do we pay more for flowers when a wedding is involved? The short answer is, yes. When a wedding is pre-booked with a florist, the wedding flowers are also pre-booked with our suppliers. Because our industry revolves around a wholesale flower auction, it is a case of supply and demand. Because any flowers required for your wedding are a "must-have" selection, our buyers usually end up paying more for these specific flowers, and the expense is passed along to you, the consumer.
	What flowers are available at different times of the year? The floral industry is a huge, international business and therefore most flowers that you will require for your wedding will be available year-round, "locally" or as imports. However, there are exceptions. Some varieties that have limited, seasonal availability include: Tulips, Daffodils, Dahlia, Hyacinth, Lily-of-the-Valley, Pansies, Gloriosa Lily, Zinnia, Cosmos, Peony and Sedum. Ask your wedding consultant for details.
	Can you deliver my wedding flowers? Certainly! We are happy to do so; we just ask that you arrange this well in advance.
	Can you set up my wedding floral decor? We will be pleased to send our staff to do the set-up for you. Once again though, please book this service as early as possible!
	Does the date of my wedding affect the price of my flowers? It can, yes. If you plan your wedding around a floral holiday like Valentine's, Mothers' day, Christmas, or a summer long weekend, the prices are generally higher. As mentioned above, this is primarily due to the way our industry functions. It is a question of supply-and-demand.
	How important is it that I have a flower budget in place? Budgeting is an important part of wedding planning. It provides the realistic framework around which we can design your wonderful floral decor. We can help you with ideas and suggestions, whether you just require traditional bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages, or if you also require floral decor and accessories for the ceremony and reception. Don't worry; we'll help you along each step of the way!
	What is the average cost for wedding flowers? That's a tough question! If it's just bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages, it can range from $99 to $500, depending upon how much and what varieties of flowers are chosen. If you also require ceremony and reception decor and accessories, along with delivery and set-up, you can pay as much as $3,000 to $5,000... and up. We suggest that you let us know what you would like, and we can make some creative suggestions that will fit within your allotted budget.
	When should I contact your Wedding Specialist? We suggest an initial contact immediately! Most wedding magazines recommend 3-4 months in advance, but our shop books many weddings a year or more in advance. If it is to be around a long weekend, early bookings can be vital. We do multiple weddings every weekend and we want to give you the full attention you deserve!
	Do I need to supply ribbon or any other materials I would like used in my wedding? If you have something sentimental or unique that you would like us to use, we would be happy to incorporate it into your wedding designs. Otherwise, our shop can supply pretty much anything you wish! If we don't have it, we will "bend over backwards" to find it for you!
	Do I have to know what I want for flowers before my wedding consultation? Certainly not; most brides and grooms have limited knowledge of flowers and budgets. It is our job to walk you through each decision to make sure your choices will be proper reflections of your tastes, personality and your pocketbook.
