Questions
What happens if seasonal flowers aren't available for my wedding?
We source from trusted local farms to supplement our blooms with no additional cost, ensuring your floral vision while maintaining quality standards.
Why are farm-grown flowers more expensive than traditional florists?
Our pricing reflects premium specialty varieties, sustainable growing practices, and professional design expertise. We use high-quality blooms that require intensive cultivation rather than generic wildflowers.
Can I customize my floral arrangements beyond your offerings?
Our Full Service option allows complete customization with specific color palettes and design elements, while La Carte provides curated selections with no customization available.
What's the difference between your service tiers?
Full Service includes venue setup and unlimited consultations with a $6,000 minimum, while La Carte offers pre-designed arrangements with no minimum investment or installation services.
How far in advance should I book wedding floral services?
We recommend booking 6-12 months ahead to secure your date, as we limit weddings to one per weekend to ensure personalized attention and optimal bloom availability.
Do you offer DIY flower purchasing options?
We don't provide bulk buckets for DIY arrangements, but we recommend local farms through WNCFlowers.com that specialize in self-service flower purchases and wedding preparation resources.
