Up next in my series of thoughts from proposal season: Budgets. It always feels a bit forward to ask about budget early on the consultation process. Most people don’t have much of an idea how much event flowers cost, so I get that it feels like a hard question to answer. But if you can give me a range, I can give you better advice and guidance. There are so many variables - quantities and varieties of flowers, size and cost of vases, rentals for candles, glassware, etc. When we connect, I want to hear what your design priorities are and match that with your target budget, and design a plan to get you as much of those priorities as I can in your target budget range. A mentor of mine once described asking clients if their budget is “more like $2,000 or more like $20,000” - even a ballpark helps me to pull together ideas and be efficient with your planning time. I promise to make gorgeous pieces, whether large or small.
