Wedding FAQs

How do I book you as my wedding florist?

Fill out my inquiry form here! If I am available for your date / venue, I will reach out to schedule a consultation (don't worry, I'll still let you know if I'm not)! If we are a good fit, I will provide you with a proposal that will have lots of images and itemized pricing. Booking requires a 10% retainer and a signed contract.

How far in advance should we contact you about our wedding flowers?

As far in advance as a year! 12 - 6 months is advance is the sweet spot.

Are you an inclusive florist?

YES! I welcome all peoples and sexualities.

What happens to our flowers after the wedding?

You are welcome to take home all the flowers you'd like! We can arrange for alternate vessels (as all vessels except the bridal bouquet vase are rentals) to take home. Any flowers that you don't want to take will be composted! Flowers & other green waste will never see the trash.

What does your pricing look like?

Every wedding is designed custom based on the couples vision. This makes pricing vary but couples can expect to invest 1 - 3k for an intimate wedding, 3 - 6k for a midsize wedding, and 6k+ for a large wedding or particularly luxury flowers (looking at you Orchids & Anthuriums).

Feel free to ask about anything you don't see here when you inquire!

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes! Your venue may request proof of my event insurance, which i can happily provide.

You're based in the Richmond area, do you travel for weddings?

Yes, delivery / breakdown rates will depend on distance from my home studio.

What is your favorite kind of wedding to design?

Anything a little wild and colorful!

What rental items can you provide?

Vases, candles of multiple kinds, & ceremony stands (currently not able to offer arbors).

Am I allowed to make changes after booking / signing your contract?

Yes, however, once the contract is signed the total cost must not decrease. For example, if table numbers decrease, funds from those centerpieces can be reallocated to the other tables or to making your ceremony arrangements juicier!

What happens in a worse case scenario (hospitalization, family emergency)?

In the event that I am incapacitated, another experienced floral designer will take over the design and / or delivery & setup of your wedding.

What is your floral design experience ?

I come from a fine art background (B.A in Studio Art) so I approach all design with that knowledge and practice. I have been working with flowers since 2019 and achieved my certification in floral design from the Floral Design Institute of Oregon in 2021. Since launching my business in 2022, I have designed 83 weddings!

Delivery FAQs

How can I place an order?

You can send an email to heidicatherinecraft@gmail.com and tell me a little about what kind of flowers you would like to send, color palette, and the occasion! Arrangements are designer's choice but I will always include your preferences if available! Two day lead time required.

What is your delivery area?

Delivery available to zip codes within 25 miles of 23805 & the Greater Richmond Area. Delivery Fee based on Distance from 23805.

When do you deliver?

Flowers will be hand delivered on the day selected between the hours of 10am - 5pm. If you have a time request let me know and I will let you know if that is possible!

What happens if the recipient is not home to receive their flowers?

If the recipient does not answer the door, the arrangement will be left in a safe place on their porch / entryway, and they will be called and / or texted to alert them of the delivery. On a day where weather would disallow the arrangement being left outside, a call may be placed to the recipient before delivery, to make sure that it can be received. In the event that the recipient cannot be reached, I will reach back out to the customer for a decision.
