WDS: What is your main design philosophy (we know you'll do what we want but if we said "do whatever" what would we get)? Minimal? Traditional? Elegant? Edgy and modern?
I love all these styles, but I would say that a Romantic, Sensual, and Lavish Style would have to be me.
WDS: How many weddings will you do on the same day or weekend?
We staff our weekend crews accordingly. This consists on Designers, Delivery Drivers, Set-up and Strike Crew. No matter what the scenario or number of weddings, Petals Galore is staffed to handle the work load.
WDS: Explain your concept process briefly. Is it budget, give ideas, constructing needs? Is it ideas, construct needs, and then evaluate budget? Is it constructing needs, give ideas, then evaluate budget?
At Petals Galore Floral Art, we are interested in all the ideas, needs, wishes, and whims of the client, regardless of the budget. This helps me to solidify her style and the vision that she has for her wedding. After which I will try and evaluate her budget. We then find a way to make her vision become reality through her budget.
WDS: Will you deliver the flowers to our wedding or spend time at the site, setting up and making sure everything is in order? What is an average set-up fee?
We do whatever you require of us. If you prefer to pick up the flowers yourself to save money, you may do so. If you want us there every minute to be at your side we do will do that as well. We want your day to be completely stress free. From simple delivery to full blown set-up and return we are there for you! Servicing ranges from $100 - $600 with an average of $250.
WDS: Do you have an approach to a venue you may not have worked at before?
That solely depends on the centerpieces required for the event. If it is no more than a simple container centerpiece in the middle of a guest table, then there is no need to visit that venue. If there are any questions that arise we would look to the venue web site. For large reception set-ups and installations, we insist on taking the client on-site for a walk through of the event to make sure that we are all on the same page.
WDS: Do you have a minimum budget?
There is no minimum budget. There are many times that the bride has no attendants and needs are very small, yet flowers are important to her. They may not spend a large amount of money, but that doesn't mean that the design work is not intricate and amazing in itself.
