When working on your floral budget - you can estimate that the personal bridal flowers if you have more than 3 bridesmaids including boutonnieres and corsages will average 500-800.00. Double that figure if you want low centerpieces for 100 people. Triple this number if you want tall centerpieces. This is a "very" general rule of thumb.
We do have a minimum when it comes to fully serviced weddings which includes delivery/setup/breakdown of wedding flowers and decor. The minimum is $2000.00 plus the service fee. This is our Gold Service Package and includes rental decor from our shop. We will deliver all your wedding flowers, setup the ceremony and reception. We will move items from the ceremony to the reception and when the wedding is over we will return and collect all the rental items.
With our other packages the client must supply all the containers and decor. With the Bronze Service Package we will deliver to the location, but it is up to you to have the items set, and with the Silver Service Package you must supply all containers and decor and we will place and decorate, but there are no rental items involved in either one of these packages.
Any weddings under $500.00 are for pick up at the store either the day before or the day of the wedding or event.
I broke out on my own as a freelance designer in 2006 while building my business and opened my store in April of 2008 although I have been a floral designer for more than 30 years. Flowers have been my passion for as long as I can remember. Our business is dedicated to bringing our customers and clients the best quality and service possible.
We cover a wide range of design styles. Keeping up with the trends of today to the classic vintage style of days gone by.
Yes. I personally take pictures of my work as well as professional photographs of weddings and events we have created. As you can see here on our website. I have created my site to convey our personal style and real Florida weddings.
You can see many more photos of our work at our new wedding website www.ABweddingsTampa.com
We do require a deposit and no it is not refundable.
Yes we do require a signed contract. The contract protects both myself and the client. Not all items in the contract will pertain to every client. It covers everything from the clients responsibilities for payments to rental items. Just because you have signed the contract and made your deposit does not mean you can't make any changes to your event. You have up to 2 weeks prior your wedding or event to make any changes you like.
Yes we do. We provide special discounts for bulk flowers. Although you must buy by the bunch. Some flowers are available by the stem, but for the most part flowers come in 5-25 stems increments.
I suggest interviewing florist 8-9 months prior your wedding. You should decide on securing your florist as soon as possible. At least 6 months prior to your wedding. In most cases we require a client to have their venue secured before we meet with them.
