Why we ask for a budget

Often when we say to a wedding couple 'What's your budget' the response is often 'We have no idea how much these things cost' But mostly you do know how much you are prepared or not prepared to pay for a service that you feel is important to you.

Take into consideration all the other elements of the wedding that would have a budget,

• The Bridal gown
• The Bridesmaids dresses
• Hair, make up
• Suits
• Jewellery
• Stationery
• Venue
• Photographer
• Videographer
• Photobooth
• Welcome drinks
• Meal
• Entertainment
• Gifts
• Evening meal
• Hotels
• Transport
• Honeymoon

Possibly there are a few bits not mentioned, but mostly we would know what we believe to be our priority and what we would say yes or no to. So all in all we do have a budget!

So how does the budget help ?

As a florist, knowing your budget is crucial for us to create your wedding flowers that meets your expectations. We want to provide you with the best possible service and make sure that your vision matches the reality without exceeding what you are willing to spend.

By understanding your budget,we can guide you through various flower choices, discuss customisation possibilities, repurposing designs on the day by suggesting ways to cut costs if necessary.

With this information in hand, we can create your dream wedding flowers that not only reflects your style but also fits comfortably within your financial parameters.

This will save time for both of us as we won't waste any resources on ideas, umpteen emails, that don't fit your allotted funds. In short, sharing your budget helps create realistic expectations, ensures transparency and helps us achieve a result that exceeds both our expectations!

If we know from the beginning you have a limited budget, rather than seeing all the grand ideas and feel we are letting you down as we cant complete this with limited funds, we can offer simple table designs or hire some props, but equally if we only sugested the minimum rather than grander ideas, you may be short changed with ideas by default.

It simply makes sense for us all to know what the budget is as we have to remember with your flowers you are getting a perishable product, a skill set that designs and creates, man hours designing, sketching, ordering the correct flowers and quanities. Conditioning them all so they are at the optimum openess and then for them to be made, packaged an delivered. It definitely isn't to lure you !
