Do I need to schedule a meeting to talk to a floral designer about my wedding?

Yes, we invite you to make an appointment so that we may give you our undivided attention.

The consultation will allow you the opportunity to share with us your style, ideas, passions, and interests. Whatever is most important to you will help us create a customized design plan for your special event.

How long does a meeting last?

Our initial meeting will last approximately one hour. If you are running late you may wish to reschedule so that you are ensured a relaxed and productive meeting.

Please be aware that we can accommodate only three guests at a time.

 
What will happen during our meeting? 

At Dream Designs Florist, we begin with your ideas and then create custom design options just for you. We get to know by listening to your ideas. You will also select flowers that capture the essence your wedding day.  

During your complimentary consultation you can view our portfolios and select your favorite designs. We will gather pertinent information, exchange ideas, discuss colors, flowers and options that will make your wedding a truly unique and wonderful expression of your and your partner. 

Following the initial meeting we will provide you with a detailed floral proposal. If you choose to engage our services, we will meet with you as necessary to finalize every detail and assure the floral presentations you select will elegantly complement your celebration.

Do you offer a floral package?

As a custom floral design studio, we do not have a specific price list or generic package pricing. However we are happy to offer you our exclusive “Floral Budget Calculator” which will enable you to select the floral items you need for your wedding day and receive an estimate instantly through the magic of Excel!

Keep in mind that everything we design and create for you is unique and one-of-a-kind. As with any design, prices will vary depending on the type of flowers and materials selected plus the number of flowers used and the finished size of the arrangement. Each of your choices will increase or decrease the overall cost as determined by your personal taste and needs. We pride ourselves in working with every client's budget to create the most elegant floral presentation possible.

What flowers will be available for my wedding?

If you provide us with your email address we can send you a list of sites detailing seasonal availability plus photos in many cases.

Are there colored flowers to match my wedding?

We are proud to offer you a look at our incredible color “Fan Deck” in which flowers are listed by color and come complete with a full description, as well as color possibilities and seasonal availability. Flowers can even be “color enhanced” by the remarkable array of floral paint and tints created by floral designers with weddings in mind.

Do you do anything other than flowers?

In addition to our custom floral design, we provide vases, arches, chuppahs, columns, glass or metal containers—really anything and everything that you'll need for décor at both the wedding site and the reception. Our selection of resources is extensive and many items are available for either purchase or rental. We have also partnered with the best of the wedding industry to offer elegant and unique wedding accessories, favors, personalized gifts, casual bridal wear, jewelry and tiaras.

Can you provide references?

Absolutely, we have several hundred references and Thank You notes catalogued at our shop. There is also a sampling of testimonials online here. Feel free to browse through all of them when you visit!

Do you require a deposit to reserve the date?

Yes. A non-refundable deposit/retainer of $300.00 reserves the date. Please keep in mind we provide our services on a first-come, first-serve basis. We limit the number of weddings we book in order to maintain quality products and personal service. Click here to be directed to our online payment service.

Do you charge a delivery fee for weddings and special events?

Yes. The fees will be outlined on your proposal: the cost of delivery, installation, removal and return of props and/or flowers. Fees are determined by the amount of travel time, after hours or overtime tear down, number of staff members required, complexity of set up, etc.

You are welcome to pick up your flowers at our shop, instead of incurring a delivery fee, provided they are ideal for travel. This option is determined solely at the discretion of Dream Designs Florist. Inc.  

Do you deliver outside of the Orlando area?

Not at this time. Flower quality and customer satisfaction are paramount to our success. Unfortunately we cannot have one without the other. Due to the fragile nature of the flowers we must keep our delivery area focused on the Central Florida area.  We service: Orlando, Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Heathrow, Ocoee, Oviedo, Lake Mary, Kissimmee, Windermere, Lake Buena Vista and the Disney area to name a few. Other areas, if accepted, will incur additional delivery fees.

Do you charge for sample centerpieces?

Yes, however, we offer a reduced rate for your sample and if you book your wedding with Dream Designs Florist, Inc., we will credit 25% of that rate to your order. Samples will be prepared for your approval. Changes and adjustments can be made until you approve the order. Please note that some requests may affect the cost of the piece. A photograph of the sample will be placed your file for reference. You are able to take the sample with you that day. If a rental item is needed to display the piece it may be taken once credit card deposit is secured. The rental items must be returned to us within 72 hours in order to avoid a credit card fee as noted in the rental agreement.

This provides a perfect opportunity to take the centerpiece to the reception venue to see how it will work for the wedding. Please note that seasonal availability may affect the accuracy of the sample, however; the design concept will remain intact.

Can I pay my bill when the flowers are delivered?

No, all wedding and special event orders are to be paid in full a minimum of two weeks prior to the date of the event. In the event the balance is not paid by the deadline date the event will be removed from our schedule and the deposit forfeited.

Do you accept credit cards? What about Out-of-State checks?

Yes, we do accept all major credit cards: MasterCard, VISA, American Express and Discover. We accept out-of-state checks only if presented to us twenty one (21) business days prior to the date of the event.

Does Dream Designs Florist, Inc. have insurance for on site accidents?

As a Legal Florida Corporation we are required by law to carry liability insurance covering any accidents or damages arising from the use of our products and/or services. We also carry worker’s compensation insurance which covers our employees while installing an event or wedding.

If the proposal total is more than my budget, can I eliminate some of the items listed?

Of course you may. The order must continue to meet our minimum $500.00 requirement. We suggest you discuss with us your concern and ask for suggestions to reduce the cost. Your proposal may also list several cost saving ideas that you can adopt. Our staff can help you decide what items can be eliminated while still maintaining the same level of design integrity and style. We have compiled decades of solutions to meet all of your needs.
