Finalizing the details About 4 weeks before your event date we will finalize the list of goods and services that will be provided. Any changes or modifications can be made at this time. A final estimate and itemized list will be sent along with the contract and will include the balance due. The outstanding balance is due 3 weeks before your event date. Please call to schedule a meeting! Bring your ideas, any photos you've been collecting, your color swatches, a list of what is needed and together we will plan a fabulous event that includes spectacular flowers! FAQ'S How far ahead should I call to schedule an appointment? If your event is during a busy time of year such as May or September for a wedding or December for a company party, it is best to allow 6 months or so. Usually, 3 to 6 months before your event should be sufficient. If you are putting your event together quickly, just give us a call to check on our availability! It is easier to discuss specifics after you have made some key decisions such as your venue site, color scheme, dress styles, and budget. How much does it cost? Pricing really depends on how many arrangements you need, type of flowers used, bouquet sizes and time of year. We accept cash and cheques only with a check guarantee card! What about delivery and set up? Delivery and full service set-up are a crucial part of ensuring that your day runs smoothly. We make certain flowers are on time and in prime condition. We label all personal flowers so that each party member receives the flowers chosen especially for them. Set-up includes distribution of bouquets, pinning on corsages and boutonnières. We decorate the altar, and attach aisle decorations using proper mechanics. Arranging centerpieces and distributing favors so that your tables look as planned, and placing flowers on the cake is also part of our set-up package. If you are having a destination wedding or would rather pick things up yourself, we can package things up securely for safe travel at no charge. How can I preserve my bouquet? You should decide if this is something you are interested in ahead of time. Some flowers can be easily air-dried on your own. Most flowers need to be preserved using a process that requires attention soon after your event. I'd be happy to refer you to a professional who provides this service. |
