my approach
Admittedly, I have driven hours from my studio to get farm fresh flowers. Crazy, right? Just as well, I have local farms that bring flowers fresh from their farm to my studio. They are as crazy and passionate as I am about bringing you the best the season has to offer. And I love them for that. My local wholesalers bring me flowers grown nationally and internationally. While not every flower is grown locally, my wholesalers bring great knowledge to me. And hey, it helps keep my neighbors, my fellow Pittsburghers in a job, I see no harm in that either.
I am option motivated, creative oriented in my approach to flowers. Are there cost effective alternatives to baby’s breath? You bet your sweet aspidistra there is! It is also my belief that you don’t have to wear white and Mom doesn’t have to wear a corsage. I encourage Grandmothers as Flower Girls and Grooms to wear navy suits with brown shoes. You will find in me your own personal, creative cheerleader. Minus the splits and back flips.
I just cannot take every wedding that comes my way. But hey, I’m no snob. I just want to do the very best for every client. In order to do that, I have to keep my schedule limited (please don’t beat me up if I can’t do your wedding, it is just as agonizing for me that I can’t take on every terrific client that contacts me). During the busiest wedding months of May through October, I have to invoke a minimum spend of $3,500 plus sales tax and delivery. I know, I know–minimums are a curse word. It’s an ugly, but necessary word in this industry. The market demands beauty and attention; minimums supply me the means to do so. Don’t fret though. Seriously. I have a soft spot for smaller events. Therefore, I have a la carte options and other fairy godmother tricks up my sleeve. I have a magic wand and I’m not afraid to use it.
start the enchantment
- Please fill out our contact form. Don’t be afraid to be detailed. I promise I won’t beat you.
- Once the completed contact form is received by me, I will confirm that the date is available.
- Within two business days, I will contact you with my availability (availability does not imply your date is held on my schedule; I do not hold wedding dates without first having a consultation to make sure I am a good fit for you, a formal quote approved , received a retainer and a fully signed contract.
- If available, I will schedule an in personal consultation at my studio (or consultation via phone, Skype or Face Time)
- Consultations are the best way for us to get to know one another and determine if we are a good fit. Please allow 60 to 90 minutes for your consultation. I want to see colors you like, images you admire, and anything else that might be relevant to you and your event.
- After a consultation, I will present you with a pricing outline for all floral components for your event (pricing outline is good for 7 days). This includes one pricing outline and one edit (additional edits beyond two may require an administrative fee per occurrence).
- To reserve your date, I require a non-refundable retainer along with a signed contract for the agreed upon pricing outline. From there you will receive an inspiration board and flower chart. I am not committed to creating flowers for your wedding unless I have a retainer and a fully signed contract.
