Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  Is there a fee for a wedding consultation?

A:  No, At Studio B Floral Designs, I’d be happy to meet with you to discuss your wedding vision for FREE.  I will guide you through the process of selecting the perfect florals for your wedding.  Personal service and attention to detail is my specialty.  I will use my creativity to reflect your style in your wedding florals.

Q:  When should I set up a wedding consultation?

A:  It is important to choose your florist as soon as you can to ensure that your date is available.  However, you do need to have a few details of the wedding figured out to have a productive meeting.  It is advisable to have purchased your dress, reserved your ceremony and reception sites and know what color scheme you want to work with before we meet for your initial consultation. 

Q:  What do I need to bring to my wedding consultation?

A:  The more wedding decisions that you have made prior to our consultation, the more productive our meeting will be.  You may e-mail me the date of your wedding, your contact information and details of the wedding if you would like to save time during your consultation. 

Some things to think about and bring with you might be:

• A picture of your dress
• A picture or color swatch from your bridesmaids dresses
• Any pictures of flowers, bouquets or arrangements that contain elements that you like, be it the size, shape, color, or a specific flower
• Think about who you want to wear corsages and boutonnieres.  Anyone who is a part of the wedding traditionally wears a flower as a thank you for their participation in the wedding or their support in your life (parents, godparents, grandparents, siblings, ushers, readers, musicians, personal attendants, greeters, hostesses, ministers etc.)
• Consider your budget
• Ceremony Place, Date, and Time
• A contact name and phone number for wedding planning at your ceremony site
• Reception Location, and Time
• A contact name and phone number for wedding planning at your reception site

Q:  How do I know how much to budget for flowers?

A:  Every couple has their own unique tastes and requirements, so the price of your wedding flowers will be custom to you.  After your initial consultation, you will receive a price estimate within 48 hours, based on what is discussed at that time.  A basic approximation is that your wedding flowers and decorations will be about 10%-20% of your overall budget.  For a general guideline of Studio B Floral Design prices, go to pricing.

Q:  How do you describe your style?

A:  I hesitate to categorize myself within a specific style.  I really enjoy the process of working with couples to create the style that is perfect for their event.

Q:  Do you deliver the wedding flowers? 

A:  Yes, I can personally deliver your flowers.  I am available to do as much or as little as I am needed the day of your wedding.

Q:  Are you available to pin on corsages? 

A:  Yes, because I work out of my studio and not a retail flower shop, I am available as much or as little as I am needed on the day of your wedding.  I only book one event per day to ensure that I am available to make certain that everything is perfect for your wedding day. 

Q:  When should I put a deposit down?

A:  You should book your wedding as soon as possible.  This will ensure that your prices will not change, and you will not lose your date to someone else.  You may still make changes to your order after you have made a deposit.  Studio B Floral Designs requires a non-refundable 25% deposit to reserve your wedding date.

Q:  Can you work in silk flowers?

A:  Yes, I can work in permanent flowers also.  Just about any design that you see on my website or fresh flower picture that you bring to me can be converted to a permanent botanical design also.  Prices will vary from fresh floral prices and will be based on flowers and techniques used.

Q:  Can I get directions to your shop?

A:  Remember, I work out of a studio instead of a retail flower shop.  Consultations are by appointment only. I can meet you at my office located at Make It Grand!  Please, contact me at 612-788-7575 or e-mail me at Tami@StudioBFloral.com to discuss setting up an appointment.
