Ordering & Timing
How far in advance should I order my wedding flowers?
We recommend ordering as early as you can once you’ve decided on your wedding flowers.
Pick a Bloom is a small, mother–daughter studio, and we only take on a limited number of weddings at a time so every arrangement can be handmade with the care and attention it deserves.
Peak wedding dates can book up quickly, so reserving your spot early is always encouraged.
Can I order really early since the flowers are preserved?
Yes! Preserved flowers are perfect for early planning. They won’t wilt or expire, and we don’t ship or assemble your arrangements until closer to your wedding, so you can book ahead with peace of mind.
Do you offer deposits?
A deposit of 50% of your total order is required to officially reserve your wedding date on our calendar.
When is my final payment due?
Final payments are due 8 weeks prior to your wedding date or the date outlined in your proposal.
What if I change my wedding date?
We completely understand, wedding plans can change!
Because we are a small, two-woman studio with a limited production calendar, we cannot guarantee availability for an earlier wedding date if your timeline moves up.
However, in most cases, we are able to accommodate later date changes, and we will always do our very best to adjust your order whenever possible.
Just reach out as soon as you can, and we’ll work with you on next steps.
What is your process like?
Our process is simple, thoughtful, and designed to make wedding planning easier:
-
Start by viewing our pricing to see if we feel like a good budget match
-
When you’re ready, you can request a custom proposal
Please note: proposals are created by hand (not automated), and are best for couples who are serious about moving forward.
-
Once you decide to book, we’ll collect a deposit to reserve your date and order your florals
-
Your flowers are ordered and reserved first, not assembled right away
-
Final payment is due about 8 weeks before your wedding
-
Then we begin full design and assembly, and you’ll receive a photo preview before shipping
-
Your wedding flowers ship about 4 weeks before the big day
We’re with you every step of the way. Calm, clear, and stress-free.
Do you offer refunds or cancellations?
Because all of our wedding flowers are custom-made to order and materials are reserved specifically for your date, deposits and payments are non-refundable.
Once your order is booked, we begin securing florals and setting aside time on our design calendar just for you.
If something unexpected comes up, please reach out, we’re always happy to communicate and do our best to help, but we are unable to offer refunds once an order is placed.
What if my wedding is canceled?
We are truly so sorry, canceling a wedding is never easy.
Because all of our flowers are custom-made to order and materials are reserved specifically for each client, deposits and payments remain non-refundable, even in the event of a cancellation.
That said, if your plans have changed, we may be able to adjust the type of arrangement we create (for example, home décor, or a gift-style design) depending on timing.
Please note that in order to move forward with any redesign or alternative arrangement, final payment must be completed, since materials have already been secured specifically for your order.
We encourage you to reach out as soon as possible, and we’ll always do our best to support you with care.
What does the photo preview include?
Before your flowers ship, we’ll send you a photo preview of your completed arrangements so you can feel confident and excited knowing everything is ready for your wedding day.
The preview is a chance to see the overall style, color palette, and finished look before your order is carefully packaged for delivery.
Because each piece is handmade with natural preserved blooms, small variations are normal but our goal is always to ensure your flowers feel beautiful, cohesive, and true to your vision.
What if I don’t love my photo preview?
We want you to feel excited and confident about your wedding flowers.
If something feels off when you receive your photo preview, please reach out right away. In many cases, we can discuss small adjustments depending on timing and flower availability.
Because our arrangements are handmade with natural preserved blooms and created specifically for each client, major redesigns aren’t always possible but we will always do our best to communicate clearly and ensure your flowers feel beautiful, cohesive, and true to the overall vision we planned together.
