Batavia Floral Designs is
opening their doors to brides opting to do their own wedding flowers. We are
now offering Wedding Design Parties for brides. Along with friends or
family, rent our facilities to create your wedding designs. This is a great
way to really control your budget by taking out the labor charges and doing
the work yourself. You have access to all of our tools and floral supply
items such as pins, tape and wire. You will also have full access to a
professional floral designer who will be on hand to offer tips, advice,
instruction and guidance.
Here's how it works:
A Wedding Design Party is all inclusive. It begins with the pre-planning
initial consult. Here, you meet with a wedding consultant to pick out the
flowers you want for your wedding. Flowers are purchased from us in grower
packs which offers special pricing. The consultant will assist you in making
sure you get the best use of all of your flowers purchased. We will
recommend the containers/vases you might need along with the amount of
ribbon you will need. You can either purchase these items from us, or bring
what you have the night of your party to use.
From here, we will handle ordering your flowers, making sure the best
quality of flowers and all the correct color choices are filled. Your
flowers will be delivered to us and we will handle cleaning, processing and
conditioning your flowers upon arrival, further enhancing the quality of
your flowers. Your flowers will be ready for you to use when you arrive for
your party.
Your party will be scheduled for the Wednesday evening before your Friday
wedding, Thursday evening before your Saturday wedding and Friday evening
for your Sunday wedding. You and up to 8 friends and family members arrive
at our shop at the pre-arranged time (5:00pm, 5:30pm or 6:00pm) and will
find all of your flowers ready to go. All of your flowers will be separated
into their specified uses. Your fun starts now and you immediately begin
making your beautiful wedding arrangements. Your floral designer will orient
you to the shop and as to where everything is that you will need and is
available to guide you wherever you might think you need her assistance.
Most weddings can be completed within the three hours, but if for some
reason more time is needed, your designer is available for additional time
at a rate of $50.00/hour. When your wedding is complete, your designer will
help you organize your flowers so your wedding day goes smoothly and she
will help you pack your flowers for easy transport. Your flowers are then
stored in our cooler, ready for pick up the day of your wedding. A floral
designer will be assigned to your wedding flowers, making sure that they are
kept in perfect condition until they are picked up.
