The Process
Our personalized consultations are conducted in-person or via phone or email, based upon our client's preferences to accommodate their busy schedules. Our in-person consultations generally last about an hour and are with our CEO and/or Director of Events. Consultations are conducted at our studio in Long Island City, right over the 59th Street Bridge in Manhattan. At the initial consultation we review our client’s ideas and budget, discuss the venue, show samples of our work and give our suggestions. We always advise brides to come to their initial consultation prepared with fabric and color swatches, magazine tear outs, and any other ideas that better help us understand what they’re envisioning. Just as each wedding is distinctive so is our customized design.
Following our initial consultation, we provide our brides with a proposal with a detailed description of their floral scheme based upon their budget and vision. If they decide to book Bride & Blossom, we will then schedule a walk-through of their ceremony and reception sites, on a per request basis, to help them visualize their floral décor. Site visit fee is available on request and is determined by the location. We then follow up with a final version of their proposal including a detailed description of their arrangements and our contractual terms. Upon approval of the proposal, a 50% deposit is due, with the balance due two weeks prior to their wedding. A more extensive list of terms and conditions will be explained during the initial consultation. Bride & Blossom accepts cash, check, money order and Paypal for all payments. There is a 3% processing fee through Paypal.
