BLOSSOMS BREEZE

Frequently Asked Questions

NOVA FLORAL DESIGNS · INTIMATE EVENTS AND GATHERINGS

A few things people often want to know before we begin. If your question is not answered here, please reach out and I will be happy to help.

Do you do single arrangements or bouquets?

Blossoms Breeze is a full table experience design service, built around your event: a dinner party, milestone birthday, anniversary, or bridal shower. I don't offer standalone bouquets outside of an event. If you want the whole table to feel intentional and beautiful, that's exactly what I do.

What is the difference between the two offerings? How do I know which is right for me?

By Candlelight suits intimate dinner parties, usually one or two tables and up to 20 guests, with the table itself as the heart of the evening. In Full Bloom is for larger celebrations where florals flow through the whole space: welcome table, cake table, multiple dining tables, bar or serving area. Not sure which fits? Tell me about your event in the inquiry form and I will guide you.

I have a budget but am not sure if it is enough. Should I still reach out?

Yes, always. The ranges in the services guide are a starting point, not fixed numbers. What matters most is your vision and the shape of your event. Once I understand that, I can tell you honestly what is possible within your budget, and if we are not the right fit, I will say so kindly and early.

Do you handle delivery and setup, or do I need to arrange that?

Delivery and setup are always included. I do not just drop off flowers and leave. For By Candlelight, delivery and setup starts at $35 depending on party size and distance from Aldie. For In Full Bloom, full-service delivery, setup, and post-event pickup are all included. Part of the experience is walking into your own event as a guest.

How far in advance do I need to book?

I take a limited number of clients each season, so earlier is better. In Full Bloom works best booked 6 to 10 weeks out, By Candlelight 2 to 4 weeks, giving time to source the right blooms. If your date is sooner, reach out anyway. I will let you know honestly what is possible.

Can I choose specific flowers, or do you decide?

Both, and we will figure it out together. Some clients arrive with a clear vision: specific flowers, a palette, a mood board. Others simply want something beautiful and seasonal and trust my eye. I source locally and seasonally, so what is available shifts through the year. Preferences are welcome, or I am happy to surprise you.

Do you use floral foam?

Never. It is harmful to the environment and has no place in my work. Instead I use sustainable mechanics: chicken wire, kenzans, hairpin frogs, and botanical tape, gentler to the earth and more natural-looking.

What happens to the flowers after the event?

For By Candlelight, vases are collected within five to seven days so you get to enjoy the flowers a little longer. For In Full Bloom, I return after your celebration for pickup and cleanup. Gently used florals are donated to local senior centers whenever possible.

Do you provide linens, candles, and tableware?

Yes to linens, napkins, and taper candles, available as optional add-ons for both offerings. For tableware like plates, glassware, and silverware, I work with trusted rental partners so you are not managing multiple vendors.

What does working with you look like from start to finish?

It starts with the inquiry form. I will send the services guide, then follow up personally within 2 business days to learn about your event and vision. Once we have aligned on direction, I will send a custom proposal and quote. After you confirm, I handle everything: sourcing, designing, setup, and pickup. You will not manage a single detail on the day.

Still have a question? Reach out and I will get back to you within 2 business days.
