Frequently Asked Questions
How long have you been involved with  weddings & events?
Bonnie has been designing and planning weddings and events for over 20 years, and as both a past wedding venue owner and now as a floral designer, she has been involved in over 4000 weddings. Kim is a Certified Floral Designer and has been an award-winning wedding officiant since 2009, performing over 1000 custom weddings. As creative as her ceremonies are, she was longing to make beauty happen in flowers as well and was delighted to join Bonnie in 2019 as a formal partnership, to bring floral fabulousness to every wedding.  Obviously, we LOVE weddings!

What should I be setting aside for my floral budget?
There are several factors involved in deciding on your budget, such as: the types of flowers desired, the number of attendants & guests, overall event design & formality and many other factors.  As a good rule of thumb, you should plan 10% of your total wedding budget for your florals: i.e. a $75,000 budget = $7,500 floral budget.  This would be a starting point and would not necessarily include rentals, accessories, and other costs such as delivery and sales tax.  Of course, if you are a flower lover, or it is a high-end, luxury event, plan for a higher percentage to ensure your vision truly comes to life.
What if my wedding is a destination wedding? 
That's no problem! We have many clients who are planning destination weddings, both here in Colorado and in other states or even countries, so we're well-versed in making your floral dreams come true, no matter where your wedding is. We can design your wedding florals with a virtual Design Workshop from the comfort of your home, and execute your vision anywhere. Because we have relationships with suppliers all over the world, we can have flowers delivered to any location we specify, and with our mobile floral tools, we're able to get to work and make it happen wherever you need us!
Do you have a minimum to provide your services?
Yes, your floral investment begins at $3,000, and ranges from floral pick-up all the way up to silver service delivery, including set-up and strike. A custom wedding design begins at a $5,000 minimum for a truly bespoke experience.  Mountain and destination weddings begin at $7,500, and for weddings more than an hour away, mileage and accommodations may be required. A typical floral investment in the Denver area is between $8,000-$12,000.

What is the process of booking you as my wedding florist?
Please complete the Client Information Form to let us know some information about your wedding. Once we receive it, we'll schedule a conversation, either in person or virtually. In order to secure your appointment for a Design Workshop consultation, a $250 credit card charge is required, which is deducted from your proposal balance when you contract with us. We'll prepare a lot of material for you before we meet, and discuss your vision for florals as part of your entire wedding design. From there, we present a detailed proposal to you with an estimate of investment.  When you're ready to move forward,  a 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date, and the remaining 50% is due 30 days in advance of your event, so we may purchase your fresh flowers from expert growers all around the world.  We accept cash, checks, credit cards, or payments up until the 30 days before your event if needed.
