Our Responsiveness & Proactive Communication

• We set a goal to respond to communication within 24 hours, but more often than not within just hours of an email, call or text. You can expect this not only upon inquiry; we turn proposals around usually within a day. You can expect lightning-fast responses throughout the planning process and of course on and leading up to your wedding day

• We have certain milestones set in our own process where you'll receive proactive communication. Signed a contract and paid your retainer? We'll confirm receipt. We'll reach out two months before your event to confirm details. We reach out to your wedding venue, often your planner and photographer to connect, introduce ourselves and see what we can do for them. 

• This holds true for not only communication with our clients, but extends to our vendor partners and friends. We know wedding planning is involved, and that a series of decisions that you need to make can hinge on a single email response.

Our Flower Care & Selection

• We start be selecting the best blooms for your design. We have the experience to know what's in season, what our flower farms typically grow and when those local blooms become available. We also know what wholesaler's flowers are less-than-stellar, and which match our high expectations every time. This is built through experience and detailed note-taking. We use premium blooms, always. Garden roses, dahlias, delphinium, peonies, etc. When you're working with us, rest assured that we are not going to use inexpensive filler-type flowers to save on costs. We would much rather our clients be overjoyed than potentially underwhelmed.

• Once your flowers arrive, how we treat them really matters and is directly related to what they look like on your wedding day. We want you to see how much we care for every stem that is part of your wedding day and this means the utmost attention to detail on how they are processed and stored up until. For example, stock flower can be beautiful and fluffy, or can look squished and sad depending on how it's processed. We place our stock stems in buckets with grids, because they are not flowers that like to touch each other. This makes them look most magnificent and bloom to their fullest potential.

• Last, when the flowers are at their peak level of bloom, they are in the cooler for as much time as possible. Our flower cooler preserves them in that perfect bloom state. Roses, for example, arrive to us closed on a Tuesday, need a day or two to open, we design with them and those arrangements go straight in to the cooler and are not removed until the morning of your event.

​

Attention to Detail

• This is where we really love to shine. Any of our staff knows that on-site QA is an integral part of our process. When we arrive at your event, you'll see us unload all the flowers and you'll also see buckets of flowers. Those are flowers we intentionally order extras of so the end product you receive on your wedding day is no less than perfect. QA involves looking at every single piece - every bud vase, every centerpieces, every urn, any aisle piece - and removing and replacing any flowers that aren't, well, perfect. Flowers are perishable items, and they sometimes behave as such. Is there a sweet pea that got smushed in transit? We pull and replace it. A delphinium that broke when removing it from our truck? We have a new one to take it's place.

• We make sure to note every conversation we have with our clients in order to exceed expectations. For example, in an initial consult, we knew the groom loved birch. We surprised him on their wedding day with aisle markers in birch container. We really listen to our clients. We take note of the little things. We don't miss details. And we strive to most accurately deliver the vision that is outlined in your proposal.

​

We Strive to be the Best Vendor Partners

• This is a non-negotiable for us. When we are on-site, we know every single vendor working that event has the same end goal - executing the wedding our couple dreamed of. We are yes people, we are helpers. It's part of our ethos. We want to make things easier for our vendor and venue partners, and we want them to leave the event thinking how great we were to work with.

• Here are a few examples. After we completed QA of all of our designs, we recognized we had quite a bit of extra greenery. We asked the wedding planner if there was a place they could use it. Not only that, we had our team place that greenery for them. Another example: typically when we arrive on site if we're working with a planner, we'll ask where we can set up that will not be in their way. We bring our own table so not to take up space on the beautiful tables our client has likely rented. And last, we often proactively reach out to photographers and cake artists to see what their flower needs might be. These are often things that are forgotten about - so we always gather a vase for cakes and flat lays, and clearly label them so those vendors can use them when they are ready.

• We have a 'leave it cleaner than you found it' motto. Flower installation can by messy. You'll often see us with tarps, brooms and mini rakes on-site. Yes, we even rake up petals from the grass at your ceremony site. We don't want to leave a trail, other than the beautiful floral designs you dreamed of.

• We are helpers even outside of floral design. At one of our events this season, three members of catering had called out. Our entire floral team filled in and worked catering that night, even though we had arrived on-site ourselves at 8am. Our team worked a 14 hour shift on wedding day, to ensure our couple had a flawless event.
