01 / The process
Four conversations, no mood board required.
-
i.
The first email
Tell us the date, the venue, the head count, and one photograph of anything that feels right, a painting, a room, a color, a memory. We reply within three business days.
-
ii.
The walk
We meet at the venue or on a call. We look at where flowers actually help and where they don't. A ceremony arch is often the last thing added, not the first.
-
iii.
The proposal
You get one page. Piece list, price, a palette in words rather than mood board. Two rounds of edits included; more if we're both enjoying it.
-
iv.
The week of
We cut Thursday, arrange Friday, install the morning of. We leave, you eat dinner. Rentals come back Monday.
02 / Recent work
A handful of last year's events.
03 / What Nell says
The room is doing most of the work. We're just agreeing with it.
04 / Before you ask
Questions we get most Wednesdays.
Do you have a minimum for weddings?
Yes, $3,500 for Portland-area weddings, $4,500 outside the metro. It's less about the number and more about not shortchanging the day, most weddings land above this anyway.
Can we pick the exact flowers?
You can pick the palette, the shape, and the feeling. We pick the varieties Thursday morning when we see what the field gave us. That's how it stays good.
Do you travel?
Anywhere within about two hours of Portland. Farther than that, we recommend a grower closer to the venue and are happy to make an introduction.
Rentals?
We stock a small library of footed vases, taper holders, and low compotes. If you need a hundred of anything, we sub-rent it and pass the invoice through.
What about roses?
We grow garden roses May through July. We don't ship in the flat-headed grocery kind, if that's the look you want, we're the wrong studio and we'll say so.
Have a date in mind?
We reply within three business days, usually with a question or two.
