Flower Selection! ⁣
⁣
We know the floral planning process can be overwhelming + we’re here to help! ⁣
⁣
Here’s how flower selection works when you book with us… ⁣
⁣⁣
1. In our questionnaire we gather info on… ⁣⁣
✽ Seasonality⁣⁣
✽ Budget⁣⁣
✽ Inspo Photos via Pinterest ⁣⁣
✽ Color palette + Aesthetic ⁣⁣
✽ Favorite + least fav flowers ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2. We take all these details and prepare a vision board that breaks down the flowers we’re planning on sourcing for your day⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3. We stay away from promising specific blooms and go heavily off of color palette and overall aesthetic! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Why??? ⁣
⁣
✽ We work with seasonality and market availability! There are so many variables that go into what’s florals are available on any given week. ⁣⁣
⁣
✽ Sometimes blooms we ordered months in advance just don’t come in OR don’t look fresh!
⁣⁣
✽ Sometimes we show up to the market and find gems that we didn’t source ahead of time that we grab up for your day!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want you to have the BEST! Trusting us through the process is how we turn out designs like this! ⁣

Event Design Tip - don’t forget the candles! ⁣
⁣
Seriously! We love layers over here and nothing screams luxury romance quite like a layered candle tablescape. ⁣

A mix of them all is our favorite + we offer them all with our designs! ⁣

POV: you got your floral + event design proposal in and you’re in sticker shock. ⁣
⁣
Wondering what goes into the cost?! For a custom event it takes… ⁣
⁣
❊ Months of planning with clients, planners, hard good suppliers, farmers, wholesalers etc. ⁣
⁣
❊ Hours of processing flowers ⁣
⁣
❊ Freelance labor⁣
⁣
❊ Software - client management, design, accounting etc. ⁣
⁣
❊ Expertise + education ⁣
⁣
❊ And then comes designing + playing with pretty flowers and styling things ⁣
⁣
Have questions on the design process?! We’re here to make it as easy as possible! 🤍🕊

Hi, I’m Lizzie! Owner of this flower biz over here 🕊
⁣⁣
This photo was taken the first time .elbell and I ever ran around a flower field together
⁣⁣
Lots of things have changed since then but these photos still feels like me + remind me of where things started!⁣
⁣
Here’s a little about me for anyone new here: ⁣
⁣
❁ I eat Mexican food at least twice a week… if I had to choose 1 meal to eat forever it would be carne asada street tacos w/ extra jalapeños⁣.
⁣
❁ Officially Started my business in 2019 but before that I freelanced and frickin loved it.
⁣
❁ At the time that this photo was taken I had just started dating and now we’re engaged… life’s wild!
⁣
❁ I’m design driven and love talking through design elements with my clients! Building vision boards to help people envision what the day will look + feel like is one of my favorite things.
⁣
❁ I have two pups that absolutely run my life but dammit they’re cute so idc⁣.
⁣
❁ I’ll be rolling out additional services in the fall…. any guesses on what they are?! ⁣
