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 has been involved with over 4000 weddings, as both a past wedding venue owner and now as a floral designer. Kim is a Certified Floral Designer and has been an award-winning wedding officiant since 2009, performing over 1000 custom weddings all along the Colorado front range and in the mountains, as well as in other states. As creative as her ceremonies are, she was longing to make beauty happen in flowers as well and is delighted to join Bonnie in bringing 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 $50,000 budget = $5,000 floral budget. This would be a starting point and would not include rentals, accessories, and other costs such as delivery and sales tax. Of course, if you are a flower lover, or it is a true luxury event, plan for a higher percentage to ensure your vision truly comes to life.
