Behind The Scenes

Our Booking Process | Michigan Wedding Florist + Planning Team

When hiring a florist and/or wedding planner for your wedding, the booking process can be confusing. This is especially true because all businesses have a different booking process.  We are here to help make sure everything runs smoothly and all of your questions are answered.

Our mission is to provide remarkable floral and event design by curating distinctive, sophisticated events from a single inspiration. Each service we offer is customized to fit your needs and each design is completely custom. We look forward to bringing your vision to life! We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and communication while maintaining the top of the line in design practices and services. Here is our booking process from inquiry to walking down the aisle!

Inquire with us!  

  • Fill out the contact form on our website to begin the booking process.
  • We will review the form to be sure we are available for the date and are a good fit. Then, we will send a link to schedule a virtual consultation with our design and/or planning team.

Floral and design only services

Consultation

  • You will meet with Emily! During our virtual consultation, she will go over all of your design choices and ideas, break down your needs and wants, and discuss how to best serve you.
    • How to prepare for our meeting: To make the most out of your initial consultation: come prepared with a general color palette, budget range, rough quantities of items on your wish list, and a Pinterest board if you have one. This will allow us to provide a mood board and a more accurate proposal after you book with us. The details can always be determined after you have more time to plan. It’s most important to secure your date! 

After your consultation

  • Following our meeting, we will email you a sample design proposal detailing the average price ranges for each line item for the services we offer. This also includes a sample mood board and a sample contract. This is not a custom proposal/quote based on your requests during this meeting, but this will give you an idea of what items may cost.
  • We will do a soft hold on your date for 7 days. Within 7 days, you will decide whether or not to secure our floral services with a $1,500 deposit and a signed contract. The deposit is applied in full to your entire invoice with us.

When you decide to book us!

  • Once we receive the retainer and signed contract we will begin working on your mood board and design proposal.
  • Within 2 months you will receive a fully customized proposal including pricing to the penny, mood boards, and inspiration images.  You can modify your proposal until you are happy with the end product at which time, you will digitally sign off on the documents.
  • At that time, rental deposits (chairs, linens, other rentals) are due and a second payment of 50% of your entire invoice with us.
  • All communication is done via email during this time

Changes to your floral proposal

  • Any floral design changes can be made up to 90 days before your event.
  • Any quantity changes can be made up to 30 days before your event
  • Final payment is due 30 days prior.

Full Planning with floral and design consultation

Consultation

  • You will meet with Lynette! During our virtual consultation, she gets to know your dreams and wishes for a perfect wedding day. She will share the planning process with you and what you can expect from her team.
    • How to prepare for our meeting: Nothing! I will guide the conversation 
  • Keep in mind, the floral and design process comes at a later date during the planning process (once we have done other big tasks!) and at that time, Emily comes in for a full design meeting and starts gathering all the details! However, you are still securing our floral team for the date as well with your deposit.

After your consultation

  • Following our meeting, we will email you a planning quote, a planning contract, and our sample floral design proposal.
  • We will do a soft hold on your date for 7 days. Within 7 days, you will decide whether or not to secure our planning with floral and design services with a $5,500 deposit and two signed contracts (one for planning and one for floral). The deposit will be applied to your total invoice with us!

When you decide to book us!

  • Once we receive the retainer and signed contracts we begin! You will receive a welcome packet, access to our planning system (Aisle Planner), and a link to schedule our first planning meeting; all within 7 business days.
  • Floral design will come at a later date. We have pressing details to accomplish first!
  • Once we have reached the floral and design portion of our planning, any design changes can be made up to 90 days before your event. Any quantity changes can be made up to 30 days before your event when your final payment is due.
