after receiving the vision board & quote/proposal how much time do I have to decide to move forward?
(This question is allocated to Full Services) We allow a 7 day hold on your event date that way we can remain flexible for others who may be considering our services on the same date.
Do you require a deposit?
For Full Services we do require a non-refundable deposit to secure any materials that need to be ordered well in advance. This is also noted in detail on our contract we would send you to review before signing. For Ala Carte Services there is no deposit required.
Can I keep compotes and florals?
The flowers are all yours! If you are choosing our Full Service option we offer to clean up/take your flowers for you and dispose of, if you so choose. The compotes are a part of Backyard Blooms inventory and need to be returned.
Why do flowers cost so much?
We all know flowers have a short lifespan and with arrangements for weddings and events there is a high amount of labor within a short amount of time to prep, design, and set-up. The costs included in wedding florals are not just the flowers themselves but the labor, planning/design, logistics, resources, communication, creativity, skills, delivery, and clean up.
