02
Experience
After you submit your enquire, we schedule an informal 30-minute free call over the phone or zoom to get to know each other and find out if we're a good fit.
Calls can take place during the following timeframes, and need to be scheduled minimum 48 hours in advance: Tuesdays to Fridays: 10am- 5pm.
Trust is essential. Working with a wedding designer is personal. I'm here to understand your needs, desires, and wants individually and as a couple. And LUMI, head florist, will help with all your wildest flower dreams.
Keep in mind: before we have our video call, get inspired - search the internet for a couple of images that will have the look & feel that you want.
During our call, we determine which service is best suited to your plans and from there if everything is set, we discuss fees and the legal aspects.
You will receive and estimated cost for each area and one page mood board vibe, just to understand our vision and what’s included.
And if you agree, then magic happens.
Once we're happy to proceed and the date is set, the fun & stress-free process can begin with the creative direction (a mood board carefully crafted where you'll be able to see and understand the big picture of your day).
Our goal as a wedding designer & stylist and florist is to deliver the best value for the investment without sacrificing the experience you are looking for.
03
Budgets
During our initial call, we'll talk about the budget too.
You need to have a clear idea of how much you would like to invest + a little bit of room to add more or make cuts (e.g: people see and want a huge table installation, but sometimes they assume a certain cost that is not compatible with reality).
I'm here to guide you and create a wedding that you desire based on your wants and needs.
We don't have a fixed fee, but we do have a MINIMUM FEE to start with because things can vary a lot from how far the location is, how many guests you have and what out-of-season flowers we need to provide + extra special props.
This is why the most accurate budget prediction is made after I understand your vision.
Your day should be one of a kind and you need an event designer & florist that can listen, help like your best friends and create a concept with personality.

FAQs

-
◦ 8 months prior to the event is best for us but we can make it work even last minute .

◦ A wedding designer is responsible for the overall visual aesthetic of the wedding.

◦ And if you still have doubts, imagine going to an event where you can’t see the person in front of you because the flowers, candles, or vases are too tall or crowded. You get the point.
◦ Event styling is definitely a luxury, but one that can ultimately save your event or make it ten times more elevated.
All you'll need to do is SHOW UP on the day of the event.
