Where are you located?

We currently reside in Madison, WI, but frequently travel between Madison, WI — Chicago, IL — Phoenix, AZ, as well as offer our services to surrounding areas and destination events. We currently do not have a studio space open to the public. Consultations are by appointment only.

How do we get in touch?

We are by appointment only.  Please fill out the appropriate Submission Form, and we will contact you to schedule your 20-30 minute telephone or Zoom consultation if we are available for your date.

What are your office hours?

We are available Monday - Wednesday between 11am-4pm by appointment only. We respond to any inquiry within 24 - 48 hours. There might be a delay if we receive an inquiry later in the week since we might be working on events for our current clients.

What are your specialties? 

We specialize in creating custom floral designs weddings,  corporate events, and other special occasions (baby showers, birthdays, dinner parties, etc). We also offer decor services and are able to provide clients with recommendations for from lighting to signage,  linens to paper goods and more.

How far in advance can we reserve our event or wedding date?

The sooner the better. Our 2025 calendar is already quickly filling, as we only take on a select amount of events each year. Once we finalize all of the details and receive your signed Contract and 25%  deposit, we will officially reserve your event on our calendar. Since we are a bespoke floral design and decor company, we only take on 1 event per weekend so we can provide our clients with the absolute best experience and attention to detail.

Do You Customize Orders?

If you have specific flowers and colors in mind, we are all ears. Prices vary depending on requests + availability.  There is NO guarantee when it comes to flowers due to the seasons and other natural factors (i.e. weather). Though we wish we could, we cannot make any promises. We prefer to use seasonal flowers in our designs. Mother Nature is unpredictable, so we do the absolute best with what she's able to provides us.

Do you do mockups?

Dependent on where we are located since we travel between the Midwest and Southwest. If available, clients are to pay the full retail price of all flowers purchased + additional labor and travel fees. We try to make mockups as close to the actual floral items planned for the day of the wedding. We cannot 100% guarantee the flowers will be the exact same since we cannot predict mother nature and flower demand, but we do our absolute best to keep consistency.
