Questions you may have....​

 

How far in advance should I get in touch regarding my wedding or event?

It’s never too early to contact us to see if we are available.  In general terms, most people tend to book 12-18 months before their chosen date, but some are super organised and it can be three years in advance.   In other circumstances, we can occasionally do last minute events and have flowered full weddings with 8 weeks notice…it’s not ideal but it is possible!

​​

Where do you source your flowers?

Whilst a lot of our flowers come in from Holland by road and sea, we like to source British flowers wherever possible, as well as growing as much as we can and foraging locally.   If locally grown and purely British flowers are your love, let us know and we can advise accordingly as to what will be in season.

​

How can I get a quote for my event flowers?

We start our consultation with a questionnaire that we ask you to complete ahead of our first telephone consultation.   This process helps us to understand more about what your “vibe” really is and what lies beneath it.   Once we have discussed everything, we then send over images that we think you may like, or that may inspire based on our discussions.   All our weddings are bespoke and it is only when we have understood your preferences that we are able to give you a specific quote.   We are not a "cookie cutter" florist who will take a quote that other florists have taken time and effort to compile and just give you a “cheaper” price.  We can work with you to make the most of your budget and suggest ways to ensure items can be re-purposed wherever possible but will always be honest if we can’t achieve your look within your budget.  We want you to be delighted, not disappointed on your special day.

​

Do we have to provide the props and vases etc for our event?

We have a very large (some would say too large!) selection of vases, props and eclectic items that we can use within your event.   We use whatever items you desire for your event and can often source specific items for you if we don’t have them in stock.   We can use your own props subject to their meeting health and safety requirements for stability etc and can discuss this at our consultation.​

​​

Will you be working on my wedding personally, and do you do it all on your own?

I am a control freak, so will always be working on your wedding, and can pretty much guarantee that any bridal bouquets will be designed and made by me.   However, given the scale of many of our weddings and events, it isn’t possible for me to do them all on my own so I use my trusted team of freelancers to assist and as I am lucky enough to have such a great team behind me, you may see several different team members setting up for your special event alongside me.

​​

Do you provide sympathy flowers or gift bouquets?  We love your flowers but they seem to be focused on large events

Well we’re very glad you like our flowers…thank you.   We definitely do provide sympathy flowers and though it sounds strange, we love doing this.   This is the last thing we can do for someone and it therefore needs to be as personal and as special as possible.  We do also provide gift bouquets and flowers for all occasions, subject to our availability and we regularly deliver around Kent.

​

Do you have flowers in stock for us to come and choose from?

No.   We are not a florist shop and order and buy for specific events and occasions.  We rarely have "spare flowers" for you to come and see and choose I'm afraid.    We can send photos, but most of the time will not be able to show you them in advance, unless we have them in for another event.
