Collections are a series of floral designs created specifically for weddings and events. Collections include items like bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, centerpieces, cake toppers and more. Our collections are designed to make the planning process easier. Collection minimum is $300.

Custom Weddings + Events are customized floral designs including consultations with clients, collaboration with other vendors, site visits (if needed), and access to our complete rental inventory. Custom weddings + events are a minimum of $3,000.

When choosing between a custom wedding + event or one of our collections, it mostly depends on your budget.

Wedding + Event Collections: $300-$3,000
For a collection wedding + event, you can pick up your own flowers from the The Floral Cottage shop, or you can pay a delivery fee for a drop-off service.

Custom Weddings + Events: $3,000 minimum (after fees and taxes, the minimum total is usually about $4,200)
Custom weddings include complete setup and teardown (if needed) by The Floral Cottage team.

We are familiar with most venues, but on-site design meetings can be helpful if your event has a more complex setup.

If your event is a custom wedding, has a lot of installations or you’re struggling to envision the final product, we are available to walk through the site with you.

No, we do not provide mockups. Our work is based on the inspiration photos + ideas that you share with us. Nothing is exact, due to the nature of fresh flowers, but we try to have it as close as possible.

Bridal Portrait bouquets are an excellent way to preview your bouquet before your wedding. If you’d like to order a Bridal Portrait bouquet, email us: thefloralcottageflorist@gmail.com

We allow events to be postponed without penalty with a 30-day notice. Rescheduled dates are subject to availability + cannot be guaranteed.

If an event is canceled with less than 30 days notice, the client is responsible for the full amount of the event.

If you rent candles from The Floral Cottage, we ask that you do not use other candles. We are sorry for any inconvenience, but it can be confusing for our teardown teams!

No, we do not accept containers of personal candles or non-floral related items to transport to events. If you would like to use your own candles, votives or non-floral accessories, please have a planner or other individual place these items on the tables at the event. We will then arrange the items so that the centerpieces look cohesive and stylish!

Yes! We love making your wedding memorable and personal. For example, if you would like your wedding to include one arrangement in your grandmother’s vase, we would be happy to make that happen! If you want to add a sentimental item (rosary, jewelry, etc.) to a bridal bouquet, we will do that at no extra cost.

If you would like all of your floral arrangements to include a certain prop (signage, disco balls, etc.), we will add those items to the arrangements for a small fee.

Please bring all floral-related sentimental items to the shop, the week of the wedding.

Yes. If possible, please let us know of any changes 6 weeks prior to the event. Changes are allowed up to 30 days prior to the event, but the sooner you let us know, the better!

No, the bridal portrait bouquet is a separate order.

We offer fresh and silk bridal portrait bouquets.

View our silk rentals, here.

Fresh bridal portrait bouquets are made as closely to your wedding bouquet as possible but may vary due to seasonal flower availability. A fresh bridal portrait bouquet will cost the same as the bridal bouquet listed on your wedding order.
