Experience
How far in advance should I get in touch to discuss my styling?
Once you’ve booked your venue you probably have an idea about the colours/style you’d like to incorporate. This is the perfect opportunity for us to run through your ideas so that we can give you an indication as to cost. As a guide, we’d suggest 12-18 months prior to your wedding but sooner rather than later as dates can book up quickly.
What happens if I change my mind on the styling items I’ve chosen after booking?
Don’t worry, a lot of clients book 18 months in advance so that’s enough time for you to change your mind about particular things in between. As long as you give us as much notice as possible, we’ll try our best to fulfil your new requests subject to availability of stock items. Changes made eight weeks prior to your date cannot be guaranteed.
When will payment be due?
We will take a non refundable booking fee in order to secure your date, this will be discussed in your initial meeting. Final details will be confirmed eight weeks prior to your event with final payment due six weeks prior to your event. If you’d prefer to spread your payments with a payment plan then this can also be discussed.
Do I have to book a styling package, or will I have the option to select exactly what I want?
Variety is the spice of life, right? We don’t lock you into restrictive packages, you have the freedom to choose from a wide range of different products and we’ll build a design concept that ticks all of your boxes!
I have no idea how much to budget for when it comes to styling my wedding venue. What do I need to be aware of?
One – This really depends on how much styling you require so firstly determine the key things you need initially before going off on a tangent with all of the things you’ve seen and pinned. Once you’ve got a figure for the “must haves” you can then see how much room is left in the budget for the extras.
Two – Have a separate floristry to styling budget. Even though the two often run side by side, it’s better to look at them as two individual entities when budgeting.
Three – Ask us if any of your ceremony décor can be repurposed and used for your reception décor in order to be more sustainable and provide you with more value for money.
What happens after I enquire?
Once we receive your enquiry, we will get in touch via your preferred method to answer your questions and to arrange a free design consultation. During the consultation we will listen to your needs, provide inspiration and you’ll get the opportunity to look through our previous work as well as getting to see some of our stock items. It’s important to us that we gain a strong understanding of what you’re aiming to achieve so that we can create a bespoke quote that is tailored to your vision so feel free to bring along your Pinterest boards, fabric swatches, names of your favourite flowers etc! They’re the essential ingredients to developing your own personal style.
What is the next steps after my design consultation?
So, you’ve had your face to face meeting and your quote has been sent across to you. Look through the styling proposal and let us know if you have any questions at all. If anything needs to be amended then we’ll tweak and adjust things until you’re completely happy. You’ll then be sent a booking form along with a copy of our T&C’s and bank details. We will require a non-refundable booking fee in order to secure your date in our diary and reserve the stock in your quote. As soon we receive your deposit you’ll be sent a receipt to keep for your records and you can rest safe in the knowledge that your venue will look amazing on the day!
What is a final details meeting?
8 weeks prior to your wedding/event and we will be in touch to confirm your final guest numbers and details. By this stage you should have received all of your RSVPs so it will be a straight forward process of finalising your invoice which will be due for payment 8 weeks prior to your wedding/event. In the final week running up to your wedding/event we will contact the venue to arrange an access time and this will then be confirmed with yourself so that you know when to expect us.
What happens with styling on the day of my wedding or event?
This is it, the big day!! We will arrive at your venue to create your design! Depending upon your venue, this may be on the day of your wedding/event or before. We will then start the magic of transforming your vision in to reality. You can get ready safe in the knowledge that everything is taken care of! Once set up we’ll leave you to enjoy and we will return the following day to collect everything, leaving you one less thing to worry about.
