Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I send in my inquiry?
Step One: Fill out your inquiry form with all of the fun and visionary details of your upcoming event.
Step Two: I will reach out via email and set up a meeting to chat more about things like colors, quantity, and your budget range.
Step Three: With the information you provide me, I will put together an estimated quote and send it your way.
Step Four: If we decide we are a good fit to work together for your event, a contract will be sent for you to sign and then the planning and designing begins!
Do you set up the day of the event or would I be able to pick the arrangements up beforehand?
Planning the materials and designing for an event typically starts 2-3 months before the event date. I do my best to communicate with the bride when the materials will be ready to go beforehand to ensure less stress on them - so they can fully enjoy and be present the day-of.
I do offer additional services to set up the florals the day-of for an additional cost. Please contact me if you are interested in that option!
What are the benefits of choosing a mix of silk and/or real flowers for my wedding?
Choosing a mix of silk and fresh flowers for your wedding can offer several benefits, combining the best of both worlds to create a stunning and lasting floral experience. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Lasting Memories
Silk flowers are incredibly durable and can be kept as keepsakes, allowing you to preserve the memory of your wedding day. You could save your bouquet, boutonnières, or other arrangements for years to come, either as a memento or repurposed into home décor.
Fresh flowers, on the other hand, add a natural beauty and fragrance that can’t be replicated by silk flowers. They offer a fleeting, but vibrant presence on the day itself, contributing to the atmosphere.
2. No Allergies!
If anyone in your wedding party or your guests has flower allergies, silk flowers are a great choice. You still get all the beauty without worrying about sneezing fits or itchy eyes.
3. No Seasonal Limits
The cool thing about silk flowers is that you can get any flower, no matter the season. If you want peonies in winter or exotic flowers that aren’t in season, silk makes it possible. With fresh flowers, you’re limited to what’s available at the time of your wedding. On the other hand, fresh flowers will offer seasonal varieties, which can lend a more organic and “in-season” feel, aligning with your wedding’s timing.
4. Weather-Proof
Fresh flowers are so sensitive to weather. If it's hot or humid, they could wilt or look sad before the reception even starts. Silk flowers hold up much better, especially if your wedding is outdoors or in a space with unpredictable temps. It’s one less thing to worry about!
5. Customization
Silk flowers can be totally customized to fit your theme or color scheme. If you’re looking for something super specific or out-of-the-box (like a custom color or oversized bloom), silk flowers can be designed exactly the way you want. Fresh flowers are a bit more limited in that sense, but you can still use them for that organic touch.
6. Less Maintenance
Silk flowers are pretty low-maintenance. You don’t have to worry about them wilting, needing water, or getting crushed in transit. They’re easier to work with, especially if you’re doing any DIY arrangements. You can get everything ready in advance and not have to stress on the day of.
7. Environmentally Friendly
If you care about sustainability, silk flowers are a greener option. They don’t need water, chemicals, or refrigeration, and you won’t have to worry about the carbon footprint of shipping fresh flowers across the country. Plus, some silk flowers are made from eco-friendly materials, which is always a win.
8. Visual Appeal & Flexibility
The combo of fresh and silk flowers creates a beautiful balance. You get the natural beauty and scent of the fresh flowers, but you can also incorporate some silk ones where you need extra volume or colors that would be hard to find in fresh flowers. It gives you more freedom to get creative with your arrangements.
By combining both silk and fresh flowers, you get the best of both worlds: the fleeting beauty and fragrance of fresh blooms and the lasting, low-maintenance, cost-effective nature of silk flowers. This balanced approach can help you achieve a wedding that’s both beautiful and practical.
