Frequently Asked Questions
1. What if I haven’t decided on my wedding flowers?
That’s completely fine! You don’t need to know exactly what you want yet. Even the slightest hint of your preferences—whether it’s a color palette, a mood, or flowers you’re drawn to—will guide us. From there, we design a floral story that complements your overall wedding style.
2. Do I really need a wedding florist and stylist?
If flowers and décor are important to you, then yes—it’s worth the investment. Florals transform the atmosphere of your wedding and live forever in your photos. With our expertise, we ensure everything looks flawless and runs smoothly. While friends or family could try arranging flowers, it often leads to stress, guesswork, and last-minute chaos. Let your loved ones enjoy the celebration—leave the details and execution to us.
3. How far in advance should I book BFOR?
We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak season (typically October–December). We take only a limited number of weddings each weekend so every couple receives our full attention. Bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis, so earlier is always better.
4. What is required to secure my booking?
A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your date. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your wedding. Because we commit to only a limited number of weddings, we turn away other couples once your date is confirmed.
5. Do you have a minimum spend?
Yes, our minimum spend is $5,000. This allows us to design with only the finest imported blooms, dedicate generous time and attention to your wedding, and take on only a limited number of couples each weekend. It ensures you experience the personalized service, refined aesthetics, and quiet luxury that define our work.
6. Do you offer standard packages?
No. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all packages—every wedding is designed uniquely around you. That said, we do offer tiers of investment to help you align your vision with your budget. These tiers provide a starting point, while the final design is always tailored to your style, venue, and priorities.
7. How does your pricing work?
Pricing depends on the scope and complexity of the design. Tell us which areas you’d like styled—such as a solemnization arch, stage backdrop, or reception tables—and we’ll provide an estimate. Everything is tailored to your style, needs, and vision.
8. How do I book BFOR?
- Fill out our inquiry form with details like your venue and date.
- We’ll email you our rate card and arrange a complimentary consultation.
- After the consultation, we’ll prepare a quotation for your review.
- If you’d like to proceed, we’ll send you an invoice and contract. Your 50% deposit then secures your date.
9. What if I change my mind after booking?
Don’t worry—we plan for that! About three months before the wedding, we’ll revisit your plans and create a visual proposal. Changes to colors or styling details are possible then. Adjustments in scope (e.g., larger arch, more flowers) may affect costs, but we’ll always advise you upfront.
10. Can I request specific flowers (like peonies or orchids)?
We design using a color-first approach, as colors set the overall tone. If you love specific blooms, let us know! If they’re in season and align with your palette, we’ll do our best to source them. Because flowers are seasonal and subject to Mother Nature, we can’t guarantee availability—but we promise to procure the best alternatives if needed.
11. Do you work with artificial flowers?
No. We only use fresh flowers. Their beauty, scent, and variety are unmatched—and artificial flowers often compromise the overall look and feel of a wedding.
12. What should I prepare for the consultation?
Bring anything that inspires you:
- Pinterest boards or saved images
- Color swatches
- Photos of your dress and bridal party attire
- Venue references
These help us understand your style and craft a cohesive vision for your day.
13. Why are wedding flowers so expensive?
While fresh flowers are all fully imported (which explains the high costs), your investment goes beyond the blooms themselves. It covers:
- Our expertise in design, planning, and sourcing
- Days of preparation to condition flowers for peak beauty
- Skilled floral artistry honed over years
- Intensive same-day setup (within very tight timeframes)
- Teardown after your event
- A peace of mind that you have a trusted team working hard for you to have the best day of your lives.
Ultimately, you’re investing in our craft, experience, and commitment to making your wedding unforgettable.
