WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR RENTING?
We’ll meet with you in our showroom to play around with place settings and create some stunningly beautiful pairings. We’ll then write up a quote for you with all of the products you chose, plus a cleaning fee and damage waiver. You’re able to pick up your plates free of charge or we can deliver them.
DO YOU SHIP RENTALS?
Unfortunately we do not. We’re happy to drop of and pick up your rentals from your venue, or you’re welcome to pick up and drop off your rentals yourself.
DO YOU RENT FOR HOLIDAY PARTIES OR JUST WEDDINGS?
Yes!! We love to rent for any size event, which means we do not have a strict minimum quantity for ordering.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I BREAK SOMETHING?
We charge a damage waiver that typically covers the cost of minor breakages. If there is a catastrophic loss in excess of your damage waiver, we will will assess the damages once you return your rentals and charge you for these damages.
DO I HAVE TO WASH RENTALS BEFORE RETURNING THEM?
No. We ask that you rinse them and remove any and all solid food, but we take care of the washing in our commercial dishwasher.
DO YOU RENT LINENS?
Unfortunately we do not rent linens, but we have a selection of linens available to purchase for small events. We’re also happy to make linen rental recommendations for larger events like weddings.
Rental FAQS
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?
Because we do both rentals and florals, we can really take the design of your day to the next level making sure it all works together cohesively. Additionally, if there is a rental product you’re interested in that we do not yet have, we will consider ordering it specifically for you if we believe it would be a good addition to our collection. We will also do custom builds of arches and other pieces if it fits within your budget and design.
WHAT DOES "FULL SERVICE FLORAL DESIGN" MEAN?
Full service means that we provide all of the floral details for your wedding. We do not work with clients who are hoping to use us for one portion of their floral needs and outsource the others to a family member or would like to do it themselves. You don’t want ceremony flowers? Totally fine. You’re hoping that your cousin can do your centerpiece florals for you? Not so much.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO PAY FOR WEDDING FLOWERS?
Floral costs vary widely depending on what you’re looking for. Things that greatly affect floral cost are size of your guest list, size of your bridal party, and large-scale installations. Some micro-weddings with 15-20 people might only need a $1,500 floral budget, whereas a full-size wedding with multiple installations might need a $15,000 floral budget. We’ve found that the majority of our full-sized weddings (100 people or more) begin around $6,000. Out of state weddings begin at $10,000.
HOW INVOLVED WILL I BE THROUGH THE PROCESS?
You can be as hands on or off as you'd like. We’re happy to work with couples who want to provide us with containers, check in, and even look at some images of flowers while we’re at our local market. If you’d prefer to completely hand over the reins and let us drive, we’re totally fine with that as well.
IF YOU WORK WITH ME ON OVERALL DESIGN, ARE YOU A WEDDING PLANNER?
So sorry, but that’s a hard no! We’re your visual girls helping you with the pretty details. We’re happy to have conversations with you and your caterer to talk about what rental pieces are needed, and we can help you pick out linens to coordinate with your overall design, but we definitely do not dip our toes into the planning aspect of your day. We are happy to recommend some amazing planners that we love to work with though!
