What is the difference between an event designer and a floral designer?
An event designer is responsible for creating the overall atmosphere and ambiance of an event. This includes everything from lighting and rental selection to linens, floral, and stationary – bringing your vision to life.
A floral designer focuses on floral designs and other floral related decorations such as vases and containers for the floral arrangements related decor.
We provides both event design and floral design services.
I live out of town and am not able to meet in person. Can I still work with you?
Yes, we work with many destination wedding clients who are unable to meet in person for consultation. We will be happy to speak with you over the phone.
May I see samples of your work?
You may find samples of our work through Instagram, blog, the knot, wedding wire, HCTG, Pinterest, our floral gallery and our rental gallery page. Please understand that our designs in the photos were tailored to the particular client’s taste. We are happy to create new designs just for you 🙂
How do I book a Consultation?
We ask that you first complete an online Event Questionnaire form, then schedule a Consultation with us. (Consultation options: an in-person consultation, a 60 mins phone call,or a 30 mins phone call). An in-person consultation will take place in our showroom in Fremont, CA. We do recommend in-person consultation so that you can check out our staging, rental items and sample designs. If you want to directly contact us for any additional questions, you may contact us through our contact page.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Pictures speak louder than words. A link to your Pinterest boards or pictures showing examples of your wedding vision that you have in mind will be very helpful. Basically, show us anything that inspires you!
What should I expect in the Wedding Consultation Process?
Different clients have different needs. Don’t sweat if you don’t have a vision yet; that’s our job. We will ask you a list of questions to ascertain your personal style. At the first consultation, we start with brainstorming together to come up with a vision, a layout of the room, a color palette, and a style that will be suitable to your taste. We will sketch out and go through your likes and dislikes by looking at pictures together during the consultation process. If necessary, we will meet multiple times to narrow down your choices. Don’t worry, we will make recommendations every step of the way.
If I want to move forward, what should I do?
Once you are ready you simply sign the proposal online and and send in a non- refundable retainer that will be applied to your final balance.
What information is included in the proposal?
Our proposal will itemize all agreed upon floral elements and their individual prices, rental items and their prices, any miscellaneous items and their charges, delivery and pickup charges as well as any on-site labor charges. All floral elements will include pictures and a description of the style and colors with a list of some of the flowers that may be used. Here is a link to view an example proposal.
Can I make changes after I book?
You are not bound on quantities until the final proposal which is typically agreed upon 1 to 3 months prior to the event. Items can still be changed as needed until that time.
How do I reserve a date for my wedding or event?
After you receive our proposal. You may put down a 50% retainer of the total cost to lock down the date. We suggest you secure our services ASAP to ensure our availability.
Do you offer packages for weddings?
Since every bride and event host is unique, we design custom proposals specifically for them as opposed to package options.

Will you coordinate with my other vendors?
Yes, we are happy to coordinate with any of your vendors. In particular, we will always ask for your contact person at the venue, wedding planner/coordinator, baker (if you wish to incorporate fresh flowers on your wedding cake), and videographer & photographer so we can work closely with them to create a stunning wedding design that will look beautiful in pictures and in video as well as in person.
What is the process for corporate or non wedding events?
The process for corporate event, non wedding events and wedding is very similar. We start with a proposal based on your needs, ideas and visions.
Do you have a minimum charge?
We do not believe in a minimum charge. Our charges are based on the cost of each arrangement. You may select the floral arrangements and services that are suitable to your needs. We are happy to create a bridal bouquet and boutonnière for a small wedding as much as a larger size wedding with over 500 guests.
What if our guests take the rental items with them?
We include a replacement cost in the proposal for each rental item so you know exactly how much it will cost to replace a particular rental item. You will also be required to fill out a Credit Card rental withholding form when rental items are involved.
Are there any additional fees that have not already been taken into account?
All charges are listed in the proposal. We always try to be as transparent as possible in all steps of our process.There will be no hidden fees and no additional charges without written agreement from both parties. Anything that is estimated will be noted and if possible, a range for potential charges included.
