  • It is never too early to start planning flowers for your special day. Wherever you are in the process we can help you. Many brides book their flowers at least a year in advance. While we can certainly work on less time, you will want to book our services as early as possible in order to ensure our availability for your event date.

  • Normally your flowers are ordered from the farms at least 2-3 weeks in advance of your event, and we usually plan for those purchases months in advance. That being said, we have been known to pull together a great event in a week's time.

    While we recommend that you plan early for your special event, we can still help you with anything you may need. As you get closer to your big day, quantities, colors and types of flowers can be limited. We can get much better pricing and the best quality as well with the advance time.

  • Because every event is unique, we do not create package pricing. We have never had two clients want exactly the same package in over 20 years. We do, however, have itemized price lists available to give you an idea of some basic pricing guidelines, and a few different examples based on some common budgets. We will work with you to create an event that is custom fit to your style, theme and price point.

  • The price of flower arrangements varies dramatically based on the seasonal pricing of flowers, the amount of items you need, how full or large they are and what type of flowers you choose.

    Our specialty is guiding you based on the factors that are important to you, whether it be the perfect look no matter the cost, the best bang for your buck or somewhere in between. We do not discriminate! While we love the artistic range we can display on large projects, we are happy to do any size event. Our goal is happy clients!
