How the work runs

The designers visit your venue to plan decor choices and placement. They then deliver, set up and clean up, so you can focus on the day. Prepare photos of your venue, a palette and a rough guest count.

Ask which pieces are rented and which you keep, and when setup can begin. In Florida's heat, ask about flowers that hold up outdoors.

Planning tips

Reserve your designer when you book your venue, because popular spring and winter dates fill quickly in Florida. Ask for a written proposal showing each item and whether delivery, setup and breakdown are included. If you plan a cultural or religious element such as a chuppah, tell the designers early so they can plan the structure and the flowers together. Ask how far ahead you must confirm quantities and when the final payment is due.
