FAQs
Where do you serve?
We are based in Los Olivos and primarily serve the Santa Ynez valley and Santa Barbara area. We only selectively take on special projects in the Los Angeles area.
What is your working process like?
Pre-contract: you give us some information on your event, and we issue a preliminary quote. We discuss the quote and hope to convince you we are the right florist.
Post Contract: After we receive the signed contract and retainer from you, we will outline different work stages. Then we use a few rounds of mood boards to determine the direction, style, and eventually any necessary details. When the design is largely finished, we start planning for materials/ingredients, logistics, etc. We prepare any essential floral items that need to be arranged for in advance during the week leading into your wedding. On your big day, we will be onsite, roll up our sleeves, execute the vision, and make that day beautiful.
How fast do you respond to my questions?
We prioritize pressing issues and projects that occur within about one month. For other questions and projects, please kindly allow 1-2 business days to hear from us. We make our best effort to respond in time.
Do you have a minimum?
Yes. Our soft minimum is $10,000 for weddings. A below 100 guest count wedding typically ranges from $10,000 to $30,000+. There are certain ingredients and design standards that we are not willing to compromise. Thank you for understanding.
How much do I pay?
Pricing is highly customized since every event is indeed unique and different. We could have a better idea when you tell us a bit more about your vision and some high-level details of the occasion. If you could kindly forward us any inspirational pictures/boards, such as a Pinterest board, and fill out our questionnaire, we will issue a preliminary quote for your consideration.

Why is the retainer non-refundable?
Our work is project-based and date-driven. Entering into a contract precludes us from undertaking any conflicting projects on the specified event date, even if we are compensated for such projects at a higher price. To us, as fellow florist friends would say, dates are our inventory.
Do prices fluctuate throughout the year?
The short answer is likely. Part of the cost is floral ingredients. Such cost fluctuates based on holidays, seasonality, availability, etc. For example, during holiday weeks such as Valentine’s, Mother’s Day, etc., it will be much higher than in non-holiday weeks. Ingredients that are not in season and/or have to be imported will cost more than in-season ones.
