Budget verses expectation

Okay girls, this is a touchy subject but one that has to be addressed.

Let’s say you have enough in your budget to buy a small reasonable car but your expectation is that when you drive off in the said small reasonable car, it must look, feel and drive like a big luxury SUV.  Now does this sound reasonable? In essence this applies to wedding flowers as well as all other aspects of your special day.  If you want a luxury wedding, you will have to pay for that experience and the same goes for a low budget wedding, your expectations will need to lower according to what you are able to afford.

Now there are ways in which we are able to save on costs should that be a request, try to see where your florist is able to build designs that can be recycled to other areas of the wedding to get the most out of the elements.  Also, ask for local, in season flowers which are much more reasonable and easier to source.  Statement pieces are a great way to bring in a wow factor without breaking the bank, meaning, you can pour your budget in three pieces to create a buzz and then keep the rest of the floral elements minimal.  Guest tables are also a place where you can save on costs, keep it minimal and understated here and rather put your finances and attention on your bridal table or arch florals.

Talk to us on how we can help you.  We have assisted many brides in finding their perfect middle ground.  Remember we are artists in our field of expertise.  You are basically commissioning an artist to create art at your wedding, especially for you and tailor made to your specifications.  This is something you pay for, and rightfully so.  Many hours are used answering texts, phone calls and emails, designing, sourcing, negotiating and trying to ensure you feel special, understood and important, so, always be kind.  Research your potential vendors and get a feel of their style as that is what you will get upon hiring, and remember, what we produce is just as important to us as it is to you.  We always aim to please!  And lastly girls, don’t ever compare your wedding to another, so much goes on behind the scenes that you will never know, pricing, materials, design and time vary greatly.  Have fun and seek your best experience first and foremost.
