FAQs
Do we have to book our venue before we book you?
It is advisable to get your date booked in with your chosen venue before discussing flowers. The reason is that your venue plays a major role in the style of your wedding so it is helpful to have chosen and booked your venue before discussing floral decor. Your wedding flowers help will set the tone and feel for the whole of your wedding and are designed to complement your chosen style.
It is so important to understand what you visualise for your wedding, to build a rapport and relationship with you, so it is never too early to tell me about your wedding flower dreams!
Are some flowers only available at certain times of year?
That’s a great question! If you have your heart set on peonies, then a September wedding will not be the best, you would need to aim for May! There are some flowers such as peonies and spring bulbs, that have a very short growing season so there are certain times of year that they are not available.
We aim to work with seasonal flowers as much as we can, that way we know that they are at their best and we are using the finest quality of flower that is available. There are flowers such as roses that we can get all year round and they will only have a few seasonal restrictions.
I am also very happy to include a few beautiful silk flowers in your bouquet for example, if there is a particular flower that is not in season and you really can’t imagine your wedding without it.
It’s a bit like having an Eton Mess with strawberries – they taste so much better when they are in season! Just let me know if there is a flower that is important to you to include and I will guide you through what will work best for your wedding.
When will you deliver our flowers?
How exciting, your wedding day has arrived!
Everything is delivered on the day of the wedding ready for us to set up all of the floral décors as planned. We will come and find you in your bridal room to deliver your bouquets. We are quite used to see brides with their bridesmaids in dressing gowns, sitting on hair and makeup stools all in a state of excitement getting ready. All of the bouquets will be delivered in a little water to keep them fresh, all you will need to do is dry them slightly before you set off for the ceremony – but don’t worry we will remind you about all of this when we see you!
We will set up any flowers for the ceremony perhaps at your venue or a local church. Then it’s on to dressing your venue for the wedding reception. Everything is planned in so much detail. I am also happy to offer a service where we can relocate all of the flowers used in your ceremony to your wedding reception. We can have a talk through how this works in more detail at our consultation.
Hope you are now so excited and can picture it all coming together for your wedding day!
Where do you work, are you happy to travel?
My floral design studio is based in Jackmoor, Upton Pyne, Exeter and I predominantly work across Devon, Dorset, Somerset & Cornwall.
Please get in touch though if your wedding is taking place further afield. I, my team and our trusty toolboxes are very happy to travel.
All of us at Bloom Bloom love flowers and weddings no matter where they are taking place!
