Wedding FAQ'S
Q: Can I bring my own vases?
A: Of course! As long as they are brought in at least 2 weeks prior to the wedding, and we know the size at time of order, you are more than welcome to bring your own containers.
Q: How much notice do you need?
A: Ideally, 1-2 months. Of course, this depends on what you are looking for. If you simply want red roses, we are likely able to help you in less than a month. If you are looking for a certain shade of peony, a month or more is ideal. If you are getting married during PEAK season (June - August) it is best to inquire the fall before.
Q: How much does a wedding cost with you?
A: It really depends on what flowers you pick, how big your bridal party is, and if you need centerpieces or other floral items. If you choose carnations and babies breath, it will be a lot less expensive than lilies and peonies. Bridal party only with 5 bridesmaids and 5 groomsmen tends to be around $1000, but it depends on the flowers you opt for. If you add centerpieces, it will go likely above $2500. Bridal bouquets START at $175.
Q: Can I bring my own accessories?
A: Yes! Brides have brought everything to me from ribbon or lace of their own, to seashells, to small fake gems. I often get lockets/tiny portraits of parents who have passed to attach to bridal bouquets.
Q: Do you rent vases?
A: Yes! However, our rental collection is quite small and more suited to intimate weddings. Please inquire with May directly to see what we have on hand.
