Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

How much do flowers cost?

A.

This can vary depending on your needs and preferences. In Utah, couples generally spend an average of 15-20% of their wedding budget on florals with an average spend of $3,000 to $10,000 depending on the size of the wedding. We do have a minimum of $1,500 for events.

After a consultation, I can give you a quote specific to your wedding. For an idea of average cost of different arrangements before a consultation (i.e. bouquet, boutonnieres, centerpieces), please fill out the wedding questionnaire on the contact page and we will send you the pricing PDF.

I also have a pricing calculator on my 'Pricing & Availability' page to help estimate the cost of your wedding flowers.

Q.

How far in advance do I need to book?

A.

It's best to book 9-18 months in advance to guarantee your date. However, we will accept bookings until 2 months prior.

Q.

What cities do you do weddings in?

A.

I am based out of Lehi, Utah and do weddings anywhere in Utah. I also do weddings out of state, but there is a travel fee associated.

Q.

What is your process?

A.

Before:

  • Fill out the form on the 'Contact' Page' to be sent the pricing PDF and availability.

  • Book a consultation to go over more details, ask any questions, and get a quote. Here we will look at inspiration photos and discuss your vision for your wedding.

  • Any adjustments needed to the quote to make sure you are comforatble.

  • Booking your date including a deposit and contract.

  • 30 days prior: finalization of numbers, final payment due, flower mood board sent to be approved before ordering.

  • Sit back and relax while I work out the details to make sure everything comes into place for your special day.

During:

On the day of your wedding, before the ceremony, I will drop off flowers for the bridal party (bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages, etc.) unless you opt for personal pickup. I will then set up/install and place ceremony/reception flowers at the venue and leave after everything is fresh and ready for your ceremony/reception before guests begin arriving.

After:

Our team will return for takedown. We will collect vases and any other hard goods while sending any wanted flowers home with your family and friends. If you choose the pickup option or to do takedown yourself, I will expect rented hard goods to be returned within 1-3 business days.

Q.

What type of arrangements do you make?

A.

Bridal Party (Line Flowers):

Bridal bouquet; boutonnière for groom, groomsmen, ring-bearer, fathers and grandfathers; bridesmaids bouquets; flower crowns for bride, bridesmaids or flower girls; corsages for mothers, grandmothers, or sisters, etc.

Ceremony and Reception:

Arch flowers, vase arrangements, aisle flowers, mantle decoration, wall or ceiling installations, table centerpieces or garlands, welcome table, book table, cake flowers, photo shoot backdrop, hanging flowers, swags on signs or chairs, etc.

(This is not an all inclusive list, I am always happy to branch out.)

Q.

Where did the name "Bronte's Florals" come from?

A.

Bronte is my first name.

Q.

Do you ever work with fake flowers?

A.

We will occasionally work with fake flowers on request, otherwise, all floral arrangements are with fresh florals. If you are considering fake flowers, please keep in mind that they are often more expensive than fresh.

Q.

Do you grow the flowers yourself?

A.

I am a full time designer and source my flowers from farms all around the world and locally when they are available. Certain flowers can be sourced year round and others are dependent on the weather.

Q.

Can I get a bouquet for photos before my wedding day?

A.

Absolutely! It is very common to order a bouquet for photos prior to the wedding. If this takes place more than 24 hours before the wedding, I will charge the regular bouquet price. If it is the day before I will only charge a touch up fee to replace anything wilting in the bouquet so it is fresh for your ceremony/reception. 30 days notice is required for any arrangements including for photoshoot bouquets.

Q.

What is your background/qualifications?

A.

Floral design has been my passion for 13 years, specializing in wedding design for the past 7 years. I have a B.S. in Horticulture and Floral Design, and have worked at flower shops, and alongside specialty wedding florists in Utah, Colorado, and Idaho. I started my own wedding floral business in 2018.

Q.

What types of payment are accepted and when do I need to pay?

A.

I accept Venmo, Google Pay, cash, or card (processing fees apply).

Once a quote is agreed upon a deposit is paid to book your date, this is $300 for smaller weddings and 15% for larger weddings. This is non-refundable and goes toward the final price. Payment is due in full 30 days prior to the wedding.

(All bookings must be make at least 30 days prior to the event.)

Q.

Do you do collaborations?

A.

If you have a floral budget for your photoshoot and are looking for a florist to work with, please reach out through the general inquiry form. I love doing photoshoots throughout the year with other wedding industry professionals.

Q.

Can I have you do some of the flowers for my wedding and another vendor/company do the rest?

A.

Bronte's Florals operates with exclusivity. Meaning, in order to protect the image and integrity of the work we provide, we are the sole and exclusive florist for the event. There are some cases we are able to work with decor that certain venues provide, but this should be discussed before booking your date. If you plan on ordering fake floral arrangements or having another person provide florals as well, we may not be the best fit.

Q.

What I will need from you:

A.
  • Colors, style or inspiration photos, arrangements desired, favorite flowers, flowers you do not want, any plant allergies, and your budget

  • Date, time, and location of all wedding events

  • Contact info for bride and groom, and day-of contact

  • Names of people in wedding party receiving flowers, so they can be labeled

  • Name of photographer, and if I may use photos from them (with credit given) for social media and/or website

  • Contact information for wedding cake designer to coordinate flowers (if applicable)

I look forward to working with you. Please, don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions.

Thanks!
