We ask that you call to schedule
a consultation a few days ahead of time. It is
helpful to bring pictures of flowers and designs
that you find appealing. We also suggest that
you bring a picture of your gown and bridal
party dresses in order to give us an overall
idea of your style. It is also important for you
to bring any fabric swatches for us to use to
match or contrast your colors more accurately.
It is helpful to bring
pictures of your ceremony location if you are
considering floral decorations for the altar,
pews or entrance. Floral decorations can range
from a single altar piece to very elaborate
designs. Many facilities offer candelabras or
other items for use in ceremonies, check with
your clergy.
If you will be using an aisle
runner, be sure to ask your clergy the length of
the aisle and note the flooring - is it
carpeting, wood or stone?
You may want to consider
floral decorations for your ceremony that could
be used in your reception to keep the cost down.
Be sure to check with your clergy on floral
donation policies and arrange for a family
member or friend to bring the flowers from the
ceremony to the reception.
When considering centerpieces
for your reception, ask the facility manager if
any items are provided. Some facilities provide
hurricane lamps, mirrors or other items that
could be used alone or enhanced with floral
decorations.
If you are planning to use
candles in your ceremony or reception, be sure
to check on any restrictions with your clergy or
the facilities manager.
Many brides use fresh flowers
for cake decorations. Bows and small floral
decorations can be placed on the knife and cake
server as well. We recommend a separate bouquet
for tossing which is generally placed on the
cake table.
We estimate each wedding based
on individual needs and preferences. The time of
year your wedding takes place can have a
significant impact on the cost. Some flowers are
more expensive at certain times of the year due
to seasonal availability and approaching
holidays such as Valentine’s Day or Mother’s
Day.
