A PLACE OF INSPIRATION

frequently asked questions

Yes, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature and weather conditions have a significant impact on availability of flowers.

For example, Peonies are only available for a few weeks in mid-Spring (most often November) but the specific availability often changes from year to year, depending on how cold the winter has been and how wet the early weeks of spring are.

We’ve compiled a quick snapshot of our favorite blooms per season [linked here].

Yes indeed! We offer an amazing solution to save you time and money. Check out the details here [link to your online ordering system].

We highly suggest a minimum of 6-12 months.  We  recommend paying your 25% non-refundable deposit as early as possible to secure your date as we only take a limited number of weddings throughout the year.

After your deposit is paid we can easily make changes and revisions to the order details since final details are firmly set 4 weeks prior to your wedding day.

We do offer a wide range of rentals including vases, urns, candles, votives, candle holders, ceremony archway, and more.

If you are looking for a looking for something we don’t have in our inventory, we’re happy to recommend a local rental company.

Yes of course! We will coordinate logistics (time & location) with you during the planning process.

Yes, we require a $3,000 minimum investment for our bespoke designs. However, if you’re hoping to spend less please check out our [online store] for wedding packages designed to fit within a range of budgets.

There is a lot of variability when it comes to wedding flower prices. We suggest 10-15% of your total wedding budget but if you want florals to be a significant component of the experience for the day, we would recommend allocating closer to 25-30% of your total budget to flowers.

You can learn more about flower budgets here (link to your blog or online calculator).

Our design team is based in Rockville, MD.

We coordinate flowers for couples getting married all across the MD/DC/VA area.

No, not at all. We manage all of our communication online. If you’re unable to meet in person, we can easily coordinate through Zoom, Google Meet, etc or manage everything over email.

The first step is to complete our inquiry form, which you may access here. Once received, we will then confirm whether your date is available. From there, we will send you an online questionnaire as the first phase of our consultation process.

It’s completely fine if details of your wedding are still evolving, but we do suggest that you do a little research about the types of flowers and designs you like. Everyone’s tastes are different, and we want to ensure we help capture your vision for the day!

It’s helpful to also have a color palette chosen as well as an idea of what you and your wedding party will be wearing (colors and style of gowns/suits). You’re welcome to bring photos of your floral inspiration and bridal gown or send us a link to your Pinterest board here.

We ask that primarily the persons making the financial decisions be present and recommend no more than 3 people.

Remember, you don’t need to have thought through every detail, but even one or two inspiration photos can point us in the right direction. We’re always happy to provide suggestions and options for ceremony and reception styling ideas as well.
