What are the steps to booking Design In Bloom for your wedding or event?
step one:::
CONTACT ME - let’s see if your date is open on our calendar. Fill out our questionnaire and let’s start the conversation about flowers! I will personally answer your email (typically within 24 hours but all bets are off during high wedding season - it may be closer to 48) and walk you through my process, making it fun and easy.
I cannot stress this point enough — if you’re into my aesthetic, style, prices, business philosophy, whatevs - BOOK ME if your date is available and you’re pretty sure I’m the one for you. The calendar fills quickly as I have a One Wedding A Day policy. It’s first come first serve here, and I may have multiple couples interested in a date - it’s not my style to rush you or mention it’s a book it now or lose it situation. If you feel the ‘click’ please don’t wait!
step two:
After you complete our Questionnaire I will have questions. I’d love to talk, Zoom/Facetime/Google Meet, or email to discuss and clarify a few points, talk about your budget and your expectations. Hopefully it clicks for you -if it also clicks for me, in a few days I will email you a rundown of what I can design within your budget and how I might meet or exceed expectations.
step three:
If we’re on the same page and both feeling terrific about working together, this is where you’ll sign a contract and submit a retainer. Once I have both in hand, a super detailed Floral Plan with prospective flowers, containers, ribbons, etc…is created and delivered within 5 working days. We’ll discuss and refine, go through options. I don’t expect you to have an expert knowledge of flowers, that’s why you hire me - to put an expert on your team.
If you don’t want a full service experience but still want bespoke florals for your event, let’s talk about some CLASSIC OFFERINGS from the garden and save some $ to go toward that ice luge or band. These offerings are all created in the same manner and style as full service offerings but may mean you have to arrange a pick up or we may be able to come by and deliver but not install. It’s good to have options.
step four:
45-60 days out from your wedding, when you have all the details sorted and choices made on linens and other decor, and have a good idea of how many guests you are expecting, we’ll go over everything again. All the floral details.
FINAL PAYMENT is due 21 days prior to your event.
LEVELS OF SERVICE we offer:
full service is our typical client choice - we handle it all, delivery/installation, a ceremony flip if necessary and will even come back at the end of the evening to help tidy and retrieve rentals
partial service - we’re creating/designing/delivering and installins for you but we’re not flipping your ceremony and you’re responsible for any clean up at the end of the evening
studio service - we’re creating and designing for you, packing it all up, but you are arranging to have your florals picked up at our studio in Madison County
Yes, we have a curated selection of RENTALS available. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your containers for a truly custom look, add some candles or lanterns, or want to trick out your ceremony with one of our arches. Rentals are only available for full service events.
