Wedding Flowers FAQs

FAQs

How do we check availability for our date?

Get in touch using the contact form on my website and let me know as much information as possible or just pop me an email.

How far in advance should we book with you?

At the moment, my diary is open until the end of 2027 so if your date is within that time then please don’t hesitate.

Popular dates can get booked up well in advance so please don’t leave it too long.

If you’re not sure what you want yet then we can look at securing the date for you and working on the design along the way. If your date is after March 2026 then we can still start a conversation but I won’t be able to guarantee pricing

What is your enquiry process?

Start by filling out the contact form on my website. I can then check availability for your date and send you some further information and a link to book a consultation call with me. Once we’ve had an in depth chat and you’ve shown me any inspiration images or moodboards, I will send you a detailed proposal with prices.

What is the booking process?

Once you’ve received your proposal you can come to me with any questions. If you want to change anything at that stage we can tweak things as much as you like. When you’re happy with your overall design I will send you a booking form to sign electronically and ask for you to pay the booking deposit at that stage.

How do we stay in touch once we’ve booked?

Every couple is different and we all have very busy lives. I take my lead from you really. If you want to have a call or a zoom to catch up or discuss anything I’m always here to help. Otherwise, I will be in touch about 6 weeks before your wedding day to check over all the final details in time for the final payment which is due one month before.

Do you have a minimum spend?

No. I don’t have any specific rules for a minimum spend but smaller orders are more tricky.
As I am an event florist, I don’t have an outlet to sell excess stock after the event. Flowers are sold in wholesale quantities so if I have to buy 20 stems of something then I need to cover those costs. Because of this it’s difficult to offer just a bridal bouquet and a buttonhole for example but we can always have a conversation about this.

Do we need to know exactly what we want when we enquire?

No, not at all. It’s my job to help you design your wedding and this can mean as much or as little input as you would like. Sometimes you might know exactly what you want, other times you might not have a clue, I can help with all of this.

Can we make changes to our design once we’ve booked?

Yes of course. We need to leave space for your design to develop and to be able to incorporate new ideas. Having said that, once you’ve confirmed something on the booking form you can’t remove it completely. For example, if you ask for chair sashes we can look at changing the colour but we can’t delete them entirely without adding something else of the same value.

Do we pay a deposit to secure the date?

Yes. I ask for a deposit of 20% of the total amount to be paid when confirming your date.

When do we make other payments?

The next payment of 40% of the total amount is due to be paid 6 months before the event and the remaining balance is due one month before the wedding date.
