Bridal Questionnaire

Congratulations and thank you for your interest in Kim Starr Wise Floral Events! Flowers are an important part of an event and lucky for you, it’s our favorite thing to do! Kim and her team incorporate distinctive design, color, texture, and style using elements of the new, the old, the odd and the extraordinary to create a truly memorable event.

This is a brief description of our process designed to give you a jumping-off point. First, we ask you to review and fill out our wedding questionnaire; it helps us understand what you want for your event and if we are a good fit for each other.

Once we’ve received the completed questionnaire, we will contact you to set up a consultation. Consultation times are 11am and 3 pm Tuesday through Thursday, and usually last about an hour. After the consultation, you will receive a numbers-only quote within five (5) business days, or you may request a custom designed proposal to be sent within three (3) weeks. Once you’ve received our proposal, please review it.

We encourage you to contact us with any feedback or questions you may have. We’ll keep working with you to achieve just the design you desire for your event!

Rentals

We offer a variety of candle containers, lanterns, chandeliers and candelabras, chuppahs, and arches. Our furniture available in-house includes chairs, couches and lounge furniture, custom bars and bar-backs, console tables, hedge walls and champagne walls; or we’ll coordinate rental furniture. We have sample linen books in the studio, and a myriad of containers and props so we can find just the right elements for your event. Come by the studio and see what we have, and if we don’t have it, we’ll find it!

Packages

Each event is uniquely designed for our clients. We work hard to ensure that the floral design includes all the details we’ve discussed in our consultation. Because the design element is so important to each unique event, we choose not to offer packages.

For fully customized event design, our pricing starts at $5,000 plus applicable taxes and delivery/set-up fees. Our delivery, set-up and removal fee is 25-30% of the total cost of goods, depending upon the timing, location, and complexity of your event.

The sky is the limit. If you envision it, we can create it!

How to Book Us

Hold the Date

To guarantee placement in our busy calendar, we request a non-refundable $1,000.00 retainer that will be applied to your final balance. This is an added layer of security for brides who are still collaborating with our floral design team on the proposal where a 50% deposit amount cannot yet be finalized, but want to make sure they don’t lose their spot. We also ask clients to sign an event contract at this time.

The Deposit

Once you’ve approved the proposal, we require a 50% deposit of the total amount of your event, with the final balance due at least 30 days before your event.

Payments Accepted

We send invoices through QuickBooks, and can accept payments by direct ACH transfer, check, or credit card. All credit card payments will incur a 3% processing fee of total amount.

Proposal Revisions

We offer two revisions of your customized proposal prior to requesting a deposit. Subsequent revisions can be made once you have booked your event.

Let’s Get Started

Please fill out your questionnaire as much as possible — incomplete forms can delay the design process. Your questionnare helps up get an overall picture of your needs, and is something we refer back to as we create your proposal. If you are unsure of something, just let us know!
