-
Most importantly, you must pick the designer you connect with and trust.
There are two types of designers - those who will do their best to recreate your specific inspirations - and those who create personalized unique art.
We identify as a floral design service, that wants to work with clients that resonate with our style, and embrace our unique artistic approach. We love to see your inspiration, and use that as a guide while creating a design that resonates with our signature style.

The major factors that impact cost are quality and uniqueness of the florals used + skill level of the designer.
-
Pricing is generally a combination of floral cost + labor. Each element has its nuances.
Floral cost includes the prices of florals + shipping + florist markup.
Labor includes design time, time spent sourcing and prepping materials, time spent building arrangements, and additional staff support for the event. Another element to be considered is the cost of necessary elements for executing services such as water, running a cooler, disposal of florals + shipping materials.

Flowers have a wide range of costs.
Common flowers, like those you would find in your neighborhood grocery store, are low cost because they are hardy, easily grown, and mass produced.
Most wedding flowers utilize specialty flowers. These flowers are priced by their availability, seasonality, and quality.
Take roses for example - There is an infinite spectrum of varieties. Price is determined by what type of rose (standard or garden), availability, specialty of the shade, size of the bloom, length of the stem.
A floral designer understands the balance of seasonality and which ingredients are best to execute their design!
-
To sum it up - Ala carte is typically a pick up order consisting of personal florals and simple ceremony + reception items. Full service involves delivery, and installation of the florals. Full service also involves more in depth on site design in areas like the ceremony and/or reception.
-
We do not! BUT - Candles go hand in hand with florals. We prefer to be involved in the candle design + placement, if they are intended to be cohesive with the floral design.
-
This depends!
If your event is using vases from Spry personal collection, they are returned to Spry. We do not add a rental fee.
If your event requires vases that we do not have, then we have a discussion. Depending on how many are required, and if they are something we would like to add to our collection, we may buy them. If that is not the case, we order them for you and add the invoice to your total. This is a good option if you want your guests to be able to take florals home with them.

Yes and no!
When we present prices for items on your proposal, we have researched availability and pricing for what ingredients we plan to use. If there is a substantial fluctuation in price or availability, we will make thoughtful substitutions for an ingredient.
It is typical for counts + items to be modified between time of booking and a month before event. Still dialing in final guest count? We can add or deduct reception centerpieces for your final table count. Maybe some of your budget opened up and you’d like to add a statement piece for your bar or welcome area? These are examples of changes we can make up until a month before your event.
