FULL-SERVICE FLORAL DESIGN
Wedding flowers are an investment in both design and experience.
Most of our couples typically invest between $10k - $15k for full-service floral design.*
This includes:
Custom design planning and concept development
Sourcing of premium, seasonal blooms
Professional installation on your wedding day
Logistics - delivery, breakdown, and seamless coordination
Your event vision will be our top priority throughout the entire planning process, ensuring that we create a day uniquely tailored to you from the first petal to the final breakdown. Our goal is to make the process feel effortless for you — so you can stay present and enjoy your day!
*Our minimum investment is $8,000.
Our Full-Service offers comprehensive floral concept. From lush bouquets to show-stopping installations, we take care of every detail. Your floral design can be as minimal or as immersive as you’d like.
Some of the elements we often design include:
Bridal bouquets and personal florals
Ceremony backdrops and installations
Reception centerpieces and tablescapes
Statement floral moments and custom builds
Every piece is designed to feel cohesive, elevated, and reflective of your overall vision.
INVESTMENT
01 — Initial Inquiry
You reach out and share a few details about your wedding, including your date, venue, and overall vision.
02 — Discovery Call
We connect on a call to get to know you, talk through your ideas, and better understand the look and feel you’re envisioning. This is where we start shaping the direction together.
03 — Design Proposal
Based on our conversation, we create a custom floral proposal tailored to your style, setting, and priorities.
04 — Refinement
We collaborate on any adjustments, fine-tuning the details until everything feels just right.
05 — Wedding Day
Our team handles delivery, installation, and styling — so you can simply arrive and enjoy every moment.
No two weddings are the same — and your flowers shouldn’t be either.
We begin with a conversation about your vision, your venue, and how you want your day to feel. Whether you’re drawn to something soft and romantic or refined and modern, every detail is designed with intention.
This is not about choosing from packages — it’s about creating something that feels entirely your own.

FAQs
-
For Full-Service Floral Design, you should secure your date with your florist as soon as your venue is booked. Ideally, you should contact your florist 6-8 months prior to the event date. However, if flowers are a high priority item for you then we suggest contacting and booking your event florist even earlier (between 8-12 months).
For our A La Carte florals, we accept orders up to 1 month prior to your event if the date is available.
-
Florals can vary significantly, and typically cost about 10%-20% of your total event budget. However, we suggest a budget of 25%-35% of your total event budget for Pinterest-worthy and lush designs.
The average price of a bridal bouquet is $300 and a standard centerpiece ranges from $225+ depending on the size and florals used.
-
Event flowers are carefully managed at our studio to ensure they are fully open, beautiful, and at their prime for your event. Meaning, their post-event lifespan is not as long as an arrangement purchased at a retail flower shop.
Flowers exposed to heat, sun, wind, freezing temperatures, or other such conditions may not last beyond the event.
-
You can absolutely request specific flowers! But, as you'll see in our Services Agreement, we cannot make any guarantees. Flowers are perishable goods that are subject to a variety of factors such as growing season, weather, global shipping processes and many more. We will try our best, but encourage you to focus on an overall vision and aesthetic as opposed to having your heart set on specific flowers since exact selections are subject to change due to quality and/or availability beyond our control.
A La Carte Florals:
To keep an affordable and streamlined process, our A La Carte floral service allows for easy ordering within our curated list of items. This service is ‘designer’s choice’ which means we choose the exact blooms that will be in your arrangements based on your color palette.
-
We completely understand that things change during the planning process and that the design can evolve. We allow flexibility to make changes to the proposal up to 30 days prior to your event day, so nothing is set in stone when you sign. We only ask that you do not go below the stated minimum on your signed agreement. We will work closely with you throughout the planning process so that the final design is truly magical.
-
This can vary by event. Some floral arrangements include giveaway containers with arrangement costs, and are welcome to be taken home by guests at the end of the evening.
For more elaborate items, such as lanterns, stands, and oversized vases/containers, including any LED lights, votives, or candle holders, are not to be taken by guests at the end of the evening. All rental items will be clearly stated in your event contract.
For A La Carte Florals:
Yes, our A La Carte arrangement containers are included with arrangement costs, and are welcome to be taken home by you and your guests at the end of the evening.
*there are no rental items included in this offering.
