inquire about availability
The first step is to call and check if YFA is available on your desired date. If they are available, we can discuss the basics schedule a consultation.
Unfortunately, YFA won't be able to provide an exact quote upon your initial phone call. There are no set floral packages, as each event is unique and requires a customized approach.

consultaion
The consultation can take place in person or over the phone, typically lasting between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Please bring any relevant inspiration photos, color samples, and fabric swatches to the meeting. It would also be helpful to have a floor plan, a timeline, and a list of other vendors.
During the consultation, we will discuss your ideas and work together to bring your vision to life. Each event is unique, and we want to capture your individual style and vibe. We will go over all the details and plan the floral decor to match your preferences.
After the consultation, YFA will create a detailed, itemized proposal for you. The design proposal is typically several pages long and includes descriptions and reference images. If you approve it, we can proceed to reserve your date with a deposit.

One month before
One month before the event date, we will schedule a time to discuss final counts, delivery times, and any last-minute details. This is also when your final payment will be due.
During the month of your wedding, YFA will order your flowers and begin preparing the decor for your special day. Our work starts weeks in advance to ensure everything is perfect!

the week of
The week of your wedding is a whirlwind for the flower shop. Your special day becomes the main focus. Flowers start arriving about a week in advance, and continue to ship throughout the week. Each flower needs to be properly processed and stored at the optimal temperature for its variety.
the big day
On your special day, we will deliver and remain on-site for any setup or installations. If you opt for day-of coordination services, we will stay throughout the event. Our team will repurpose any flowers from the ceremony to the reception and will handle breakdown and cleanup at the end of the evening.
after
After your wedding or event, you get to keep the flowers. All rented vases will either be collected by YFA during the cleanup or need to be returned by the agreed date.
Often, there are more flowers than you know what to do with, so many brides choose to donate their flowers to a nearby senior living facility or another location of their choice. Please let us know if you would like us to arrange this for you.

* When a client sends me a request I carefully review it to see if we are a good fit. I do not take every wedding or event that comes my way. I have learned from years of experience that quality is more important than quantity. I allow myself enough time to fully focus on each event. I will respond with an e-mail including the estimate sharing interest in working with you, or I will recommend other florists that I think would be more suited. <3- Kathryn
