It is impossible to know what your flowers will cost until we decide the types of flowers and how many of each are going to be used. YFA is very conscious of your budget and respectfully works within their means.
Flowers are a significant investment and I do my best to be as transparent as possible. You are choosing to spend your hard earned money on my services and I will show you exactly what it goes towards. I will break down and explain any service fees, travel expenses, additional labor expenses, and taxes. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to make your vision a reality. Understanding the fees associated with the floral work is helpful in establishing reasonable floral expectations. The taxes and labor are the most often underestimated aspects.
