THSFD Wedding Flower Brochure

After our initial, complimentary, consultation, I will send you your personalised proposal of which you just need to pay your deposit of 20% – you’ll recieve an invoice for this once you have confirmed you’d like to go ahead.

Yes, to an extent. I work seasonally with flowers that are blooming on the day of your wedding. I have a pretty good idea of what will be available for your wedding when we have our consultation and will include these in your proposal. Spring to late summer weddings have a huge range of flowers available and if you have your heart set on something specific that I know won’t be in season, I will suggest alternatives that look incredibly similar.

I work at allll venues across Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Bath and Bristol, and even up into the Cotswolds. I am always happy and confident to work at venues for a first time (let’s face it, there’s a first time for everything and everywhere) and, if I haven’t worked at your venue before, I will scout it out and make friends with the venue owners/wedding coordinators there well ahead of your big day to ensure everything goes off without a hitch (so to speak). In other words, don’t let the perfect florist get away just because they haven’t worked at your venue before.

Yes! I’m all over moving and reusing (plus, it gives me an excuse to hang around and immerse myself in your incredible day, I love this bit).

Don’t stress, we can still have a conversation and I can still design your proposal. While I do need to have some floral arrangement ideas from you to base your quote on, I am pretty flexible. The main thing here to for you to get a feel for my design style, working procecess, if you like me, and if you like my prices – we will catch up again around 3 month’s before your wedding to finalise your wedding flowers and you are free to completely change your mind on absolutely everything at this stage if you so wish. It really is that flexible (lots of people change their minds, you won’t be the only one). All I ask is that you do not reduce your original quote by more than 20%, and this is only because I am a small business owner who needs to protect my income – I have a house, a family, and a life to pay for just like everyone else.

It’s true, flowers are kinda pricey. I get it, it feels like a big investment and the information out there on the internet can be wildly indecisive and misleading. The truth is, flowers do cost a lot – I pay anything from £1 – £5 per stem (plus, hydrangeas can be even more), and I also pay extra for sumptuously silky ribbons that really are a cut above cheap ployester. It can cost me £70+ to put together your bouquet, and that’s before I have added my own mark up to cover my labour costs and business expenses. Flowering up a wedding is incredibly labour intensive and the know-how to ensure your flowers last all day (all week in fact, my couples and their guests take their flowers home and enjoy long after the day itself) is truly a skill in itself. Save yourself the worry and hire an expert – you won’t regret it. If your budget is smaller then we can work together to ensure that, while you may have less flowers overall, the arrangements you do have provide maximum impact and you won’t feel like you are missing out or cutting back at all. I promise.

What I won’t do though, is cut my prices – my team and I need to be paid fairly to provide the best service possible for you.

Typically 4-6 months. It can take longer over the summer months simply because it is wedding season and I will be flowering up weddings as well as taking more bouquets to preserve. I will send you messages at regular intervals to update you as we go so you always know how your flowers are doing.

Honestly, this is so common! I get requests in the few days leading up to, or the few days after the wedding all the time. If I have availability I woud still love to preserve your flowers, even if your wedding was a few days ago – I can work miracles with old flowers. I do get booked up though so I do advise booking as early as possible. Also, collection of your flowers is strictly subject to advance booking and I cannot accomodate collecting flowers at the last minute. Delivering your flowers yourself does not reduce the price of your frame either I’m afraid, it’s simply a free service I include with advance bookings.

Absolutely! Any and all flowers, the process is the same, the prices are the same.

I’ve not had an instance where flowers haven’t preserved well yet so I guess I will have to let you know if it happens… I probably won’t be able to squeeze every flower you give me into your frame, because I’m fitting a 3D arrangement onto a 2D board, so even if a flower or two doesn’t preserve well, I will have plenty more to play with. White flowers may change colour slightly (in fact, all flowers change colour slightly, it’s just more noticeable in white flowers), but they are still beautiful, they’ll still “feel” white and there are tricks we can use to illuminate you flowers further. Don’t worry about it, don’t let it put you off!

No. This is a delicate piece of work, your flowers are fragile and the frame is made with glass – my preference is to hand deliver your frame, which is included within the price up to 40 miles of my studio in Bruton (BA10). Beyond this there is either a small additional charge or you can arrange to meet me half way, or collect your frame from my studio – it’s well worth it knowing your frame has been cared for during the journey.

Absolutely, you can include anything you like as long as it fits – I’ve even included parts of wedding dresses.

Not at all! You can have any size and shape you desire, so if you want to go long and thin to have pride of place across the landing, then go for it. Bespoke sizing is more than welcome, I’ll just need to provide you a personalised quote – you simply need to ask.
