Frequently Asked Questions
What is the booking process?
1. Contact us. Fill out the contact form, email us or phone us. Give us as much information as you can - wedding date, venue location, a rough idea of flower requirements eg arch, reception florals, number of bridesmaids bouquets for example.
2. We’ll reply to you and give you a quote based off your information. We usually ask if you have any inspiration photos of similar to what you’re after so we can gauge sizes and your preferences. It’s ok if you don’t or aren’t sure though- we’ll just skip right to the next step!
3. We’ll send a link for a Zoom chat to discuss your vision and finalise your quote! Or we can meet up if you’d rather.
4. Once you’re happy with everything, we’ll send through an invoice to make your 30% deposit to secure your date.
5. Relax! It’s all done- we’ll stay in touch & any questions along the way are just an email/call away. We’ll be in touch a few weeks before your date in any case to finalise timings, drop off personals (bride/groom florals) etc.
6. On your wedding day we’ll deliver all your personals to wherever you’re getting ready & then head off to your venue/s to set up your gorgeous ceremony and reception florals and bring your final vision to life!
How far in advance do I need to book florals?
The earlier the better, so it is recommended to book your wedding at least 4-6 months ahead.
However, we have done weddings with less notice than that! In any case, if we have your date available, we will try our best to accommodate you.
What if I change my mind about some things after our consultation?
Modifications and details can be changed and adjustments made as the planning process continues, that’s no problem. However, once we place the order for the flowers and foliage (3-6 weeks before your wedding) there can be no more changes to your flowers and foliage. You may be able to add to your order, but we cannot change what has been ordered.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, once you’ve accepted our quote and decided to book with us, we require a 30% deposit to secure your date. This is because we do not tentatively book dates, we will book your wedding into our calendar and we won’t accept any other weddings for that date.
What is your refund policy?
Refund policy: Your deposit will not be refunded if you cancel your wedding less than two months before your wedding day.
Covid policy: In the instance of cancellation due to Auckland being in Covid-19 Level 2, 3, or 4 on the date of your wedding the following applies. In the unlikely event that there isn’t enough time given for Wild Blooms to cancel your flower order from our suppliers before they’ve been shipped or delivered then your deposit will not be refunded. This is to help cover some of the costs of your flowers. **This will only apply if Wild Blooms can’t cancel your flower order from our suppliers due to them having already been shipped/delivered.
How much do wedding flowers cost?
There are so many variables when it comes to wedding flower prices. It depends on the size of arrangements, type of flowers (some are more expensive than others) and number of blooms, complexity of set up, and venue location. We will provide you with a customised quote per your requirements. The majority of our couples spend between $3,500-$8,000 on their wedding flowers.
Do you have a minimum spend?
Yes, our minimum spend is $3,000 during October - May. Setting a minimum spend ensures that we are able to give you abundant, quality blooms that fit in with our design style. We like to provide you with designs that have dimension and are full, lush and create an atmosphere of beauty and romance for your special day.
Over the winter months from June- September our minimum spend is $2,000 as we have greater availability to take on smaller weddings at this time.
What are your delivery, set up and take down fees?
Our fees are determined by the event location and the amount of flowers to be delivered and set up/taken down. Delivery and set up within Auckland starts at $250. If your wedding is outside of the Auckland region, then please contact us for pricing.
Do you have favourite wedding flowers to design with?
We are open to any style of design and love texture! Have a look through our work and you will see that we do many different types of styles, colours and looks. Not all flowers are available year round but we can suggest what is best for your wedding date and style that you wish to have.
What happens to the flowers after the wedding?
You’re welcome to take all the flowers! If you’ve used any of our vases/vessels just be sure to take the flowers out of them and leave them behind for us to collect.
