Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Planning

How far in advance should I book my florist?

Most couples book 6 to 12 months ahead. Peak season (late spring and early fall) fills up fastest. Micro weddings and DIY flower orders can often be booked with less notice, so reach out even if your date is coming up soon!

What areas do you serve?

I'm based in Central Ohio and serve Columbus and the surrounding area. Getting married a little farther out? Just ask! If any travel fee applies, I'll include it in your proposal.

Do you work with all couples?

Absolutely. I believe in love, equality, and flowers for ALL. No matter what your love story looks like, I'd love to help you celebrate it with flowers.

Do you offer micro wedding, elopement, or DIY flowers?

Yes! Micro wedding and elopement flowers start at $750, and DIY bulk flower buckets start at $125 per bucket. You can see all of my options on the Services page.

Will I get a detailed, itemized proposal?

Yes! After our consultation, I'll send you a custom proposal that lists every piece, from your bouquet to each boutonniere and centerpiece, with individual pricing. That way you can see exactly where your budget is going and adjust anything you'd like.

Pricing & Payments

Do you have a minimum?

My packages have starting prices instead of one strict minimum: full-service floristry starts at $3,000, showstopper installations at $1,500, micro weddings at $750, and wedding party flowers at $500.

What is your payment schedule?

A 20% retainer reserves your wedding date on my calendar. Your final payment, including any changes to your order, is due when we finalize everything six weeks (42 days) before your wedding.

What if I need to make changes or cancel?

Changes are welcome up until your order is finalized 42 days before your wedding. The full change and cancellation terms are spelled out in your Floral Services Agreement, and I'm always happy to walk you through them.

Are there additional fees for delivery, setup, or tear-down?

Full-service floristry includes delivery, setup, flipping the space if needed, and tear-down at the end of the night. For other packages, any delivery, setup, or late-night pickup fees are listed clearly in your proposal, so there are no surprises.

How can I make the most of my budget?

Go seasonal and local. In-season flowers are fresher and more affordable.

Focus on high-impact pieces. Your bouquet, ceremony backdrop, and reception centerpieces are what guests (and photos) see most.

Repurpose arrangements. Ceremony pieces can move to the reception, and bridesmaids' bouquets make great table decor.

Share your budget early. Knowing your number helps me design something beautiful that fits it.

Your Wedding Day

What does the wedding day look like?

Your exact timeline will be in your contract. Typically, I arrive at your venue a few hours before the ceremony to set up and coordinate with your venue and planner. Personal flowers, like bouquets and boutonnieres, are delivered to your getting-ready location a couple of hours before photos.

Will you pin boutonnieres and corsages?

I'm happy to! I also use sturdy boutonniere magnets that hold strong and are easy for anyone to attach.

Will you move arrangements from the ceremony to the reception?

Yes! Flipping the space is included with full-service floristry, and it's available for an additional fee with other packages. It's a great way to get more out of larger pieces like arch or altar arrangements.

What if our day runs longer than planned?

If you need me on site beyond the time in your contract, additional time is billed at $75 per hour.

Can you add flowers to my wedding cake?

Yes! I'll provide cake-safe flowers and coordinate with your baker. Most bakers prefer to place the flowers themselves, but if yours doesn't, I'll handle it.

What other decor do you provide besides flowers?

I offer a variety of vases, containers, and vessels, plus candles and votives, drapery linens, and structural pieces like pedestals and ceremony arches.

Still have questions?

I'd love to hear from you! Check your date and tell me about your wedding.
