“If you're trying to picture where a typical full-service budget goes, it generally looks something like this:
Personal flowers make up roughly 8% to 10% of a floral budget. Ceremony florals typically land around 20% to 30%. Reception centerpieces and tablescape details are usually the largest share, often 30% to 40%, simply because there are more tables than there are wedding parties. The remaining percentage covers delivery, setup, and breakdown, and any extras that come up.”

“It's the season when I hear one question more than any other, from couples just starting to plan and from couples a few weeks out: what's actually in bloom right now, and how do we make our flowers feel luxurious without feeling wasteful?
I love this question. It's the one that gets at what we actually do here, which is design around what the season and the region are already offering us, rather than flying in whatever a Pinterest board says we need.”
“One of the joys of working with seasonal flowers is the opportunity to support local growers and promote sustainability. By using locally grown, in-season flowers and foliage, we not only reduce our carbon footprint but also celebrate the beauty of our own region's flora. Plus, these blooms are often fresher and more vibrant, adding an extra layer of charm to any design.”
