Each package is priced at the base cost. The actual cost will vary based on style, size, and flower type. Note that out of season or specialty flowers will cost more.

Our a la carte minimum is $450. Our full-service wedding packages start at $3200.

In order to make even one bouquet, we need alllllllot of flowers. With the cost of flowers at an all time high, this covers us on materials, supplies, transportation of goods, flower prep, and , of course, designing and creating your floral items (phew!).

We prep ’em, you place ’em. Because the a la carte menu is strictly for pick up we will not set up any of these items. In fact, we might be working on another wedding simultaneously. Therefore, these items will need to be placed by someone you trust (family, friends, your coordinator, etc.).

No, we will not be able to deliver your a la carte items—they’ll be waiting for you at our shop!

Yes, depending on the design of your ceremony. Common items to be moved and reused are aisle arrangements or using a portion of your arbor for your sweetheart table—this also looks lovely on the floor in front of your head/sweetheart table. An additional fee may required to move these pieces based on mechanics and timeline.

We love incorporating texture into our designs—dried flowers are great for this and lend greatly to certain aesthetics. Synthetic flowers have come a long way. To the untrained eye they can look identical—and even feel real too! Upon request, we can use synthetic flowers or might suggest we use them in your wedding design if the flower you want if our of season for your big day.

When you book with Flora & Fauna, you are booking our design skills, time, and expertise. We reserve exclusivity of the floral design at our weddings, meaning we will not work with a secondary florist or DIY designs to supplement our work. If you are a DIY bride, that’s great! (we get it, we create for a living). We suggest that you use our a la carte option for items that you and your squad don’t feel like making such as bridal bouquets and boutonnières.

Yes, we are happy to accommodate samples at full cost. Unpopular opinion: Although the concept of requesting a sample of your wedding flowers before the wedding makes sense. We think samples can be a waste of time and money. Here’s what you’ll want to consider: You’re paying full price, we have to buy a whole bunch of each flower in your design to make a proper sample. The flowers you will have on your wedding day, although very close, will not be the exact ones that you’ll see in your sample. Crops vary by week due to climate, seasonality, and a bunch of other factors. Our advice? You are best off trusting the images you’ll see in your vision board—it’s a great tool and free digital sample! Please also reference our breadth of work from our beautiful galleries—working with professional photographers is a perk of the industry. Not seeing your wedding aesthetic? Ask us if we’ve worked on something similar to show you. We do soooo many weddings, they can’t all be uploaded to our portfolio.

We will be placing the order for your wedding flowers and materials two weeks prior to your wedding date. We will need the final numbers of all floral items (centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, etc.) at that time so we can place the order for your wedding florals.

Imagine chucking the beautiful and delicate bouquet (a piece of art, really) that you just paid good money for. A common practice is adding a “toss bouquet” (much smaller, cheaper, and aerodynamic) to your order to throw to the girls at your reception.

We don’t preserve flowers, but we love the idea!

This is typically based off your final RSVP count. We will need final quantities of all floral items (centerpieces, bouquets, corsages, etc.) at least two weeks prior to your wedding. We will reach out to you, or your coordinator, for the final numbers in the month leading up to your wedding.

Change happens, here’s how we handle it: Any changes to your floral invoice must be made three weeks before your wedding day. As flowers, materials, and rentals need to be sourced in a timely matter, we cannot accept changes after this deadline. Minor changes like quantities of boutonnières and centerpieces are easy to accomodate and are typically based on your final RSVP headcount—we get it. Decide that you want to ass a “toss” bouquet or cake decor? No problem. Major changes to style, color, mechanics, and rentals require extra time and will be charged accordingly at an hourly rate. Please stay in touch with changes as soon as possible if you decide you want to switch things up, we will work with you to make sure you are happy with your selections.

We ask that you (or your coordinator) be in contact about your setup timeline 2-4 weeks before your wedding so we can be sure to execute efficiently and know precisely where to deliver and set up each floral item.

Set up times will vary depending on the complexity of your floral mechanics. On average, it takes about an hour to set up an arbor on site, and more time to place other arrangements such as centerpieces, wall decor, cocktail tables, cake flowers, etc. The earlier we can access the venue, the better!

We ask that you (or your wedding coordinator) provide a timeline 2-4 weeks before your wedding date so we can execute efficiently and know precisely where to deliver and set up each floral item on the day of. We love a good plan.

We deliver personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, and flower girl florals) as soon as we get onsite. Note—it’s good practice to check with your photographer on what florals they might need for detail shots. Next we load in and place all ceremony and reception arrangements/decor. On average we spend 1-2 hours setting up a wedding arbor and aisle decor depending on size and complexity. Before we leave the venue, we’ll walk through the space and make sure all florals are just right for your unique ceremony and reception.
