Frequently Asked Questions
-
When should I book a florist for my event?
I always recommend booking as early as possible to ensure we are available for your date. Most people book somewhere between 6-12 months out. As long as you have your venue booked, we can begin working together. We only take on a select number of events each year, and our dates are first come first serve, so the earlier we can get started the better!
For smaller events like dinner parties and bridal showers, at least 1-2 months out is recommended.
-
How much should I budget for my flowers?
A good rule of thumb is around 15% of your total wedding budget. I create a custom proposal for each client, tailored to your season, colors and vision. I don’t cut corners - My goal is to provide top quality, original designs specifically for you.
-
Can you work with my wedding theme and color scheme?
Absolutely! I collaborate with you and additional vendors as needed to ensure the floral designs complement your wedding's theme and color palette, creating a cohesive and personalized look.
-
Do you provide setup and breakdown services?
Of course! Delivery, setup, and breakdown included for all of our full-service events. For a la carte orders, you can opt to pickup your order at our private studio in Crestwood, MO.
-
How can I stay within my floral budget?
Opting for in-season flowers and repurposing arrangements from ceremony to reception will all make your budget as optimized as possible.
I will be able to design using flowers best suited to your color palette and time of year, providing the highest quality and freshest blooms possible to make your wedding as beautiful as you’ve imagined!
-
What happens to the flowers after the wedding?
We proudly partner with a local nonprofit, Joy Petalers, to donate and repurpose the flowers from your event to then bring joy to community members residing in long-term care communities, hospitals, and shelters. If you have another preference, I am happy to discuss!
-
Will you provide florals for our welcome party or send-off brunch on our wedding weekend?
Absolutely. We’d be happy to service any additional floral needs to make your wedding weekend beautiful and cohesive all the way through!
-
Where do you get your flowers from?
I pride myself in using as many locally grown flowers as possible that fit within your color palette. I even grow a good number of them myself!
We also partner with other professional growers around the country and beyond to source the most premium quality blooms for your event.
-
How many weddings or events are you providing flowers for the same weekend as my event?
We only take on a maximum number of two events per weekend, one Friday and one Saturday. This allows us to put full attention on our clients so we don’t spread ourselves thin.
You deserve full attention and that’s exactly what we provide. We won’t be running between multiple events the day your wedding - this means you are our sole focus so everything goes off without a hitch.
-
Do you provide additional decor besides flowers?
Yes, we are happy to offer vase and candle rentals to our clients. This means you get cohesively designed decor and don’t have to spend any extra time sourcing, prepping, or setting up the day of your event.
-
Can I make changes to my floral contract after booking?
Yes! We know your vision may evolve as plans come together. Once your contract is signed and the retainer is paid, your date is secured with SunCrest Blooms. You’re welcome to make adjustments to your flowers, colors, or quantities up until your final consultation, when we’ll review all details before the final payment is due.
