The service

A design session, not an order form

Some briefs deserve more than a web form. The design consult is a thirty-minute session with Ren or Mags. You bring references, stories, constraints and opinions, we bring stem knowledge, season charts and a pencil. You leave with a sketched direction and a firm quote, whether or not you order.

It is the right call for big gestures, complicated family dynamics, corporate brand-matching and anyone who has ever said "I know what I want but not how to describe it". The $40 consult fee comes off any order over $120, so it usually costs nothing in the end.

What the consult includes
  • 30 minutes with a senior florist, in person or by phone
  • Season availability check for your date
  • Palette and stem suggestions sketched on the spot
  • Written quote, valid for two weeks
Stem samples spread for a design session

Quotes from a consult are held for two weeks: seasonal stems move, so we do not hold them longer.

How it runs

How a design gets built

From a vague idea to a signed-off sketch in one sitting.

Book the consult

Pick a slot: studio, phone or video. Bring anything: photos, fabric swatches, Pinterest boards.

We interrogate the brief

Who, what for, what they are like, what must not happen. The nosy questions are the useful ones.

Sketch and cost it live

Palette, stem list and price on the table before you leave, no waiting on an email.

You approve or adjust

The quote sits for two weeks. Change your mind on details any time before we cut.

We build to the sketch

Photo approval on the bench as usual, then delivered or held for pickup.

Who makes it

Design happens with the seniors

Consults are only run by Ren and Mags. The two people who will actually make whatever gets agreed. Nothing gets lost between a sales chat and a workbench, because they are the same chair.

Ren leans romantic and loose, Mags leans structural and bold. If your references are all clean lines, we will probably book you with Mags and tell you why.

Questions

Consult questions

Anything we missed? Send it over. A florist answers, not a bot.

No. The $40 buys the session, the sketch and the quote. They are yours either way. About nine in ten people order, but nobody is chased.

Yes, and video works even better. We can hold stems up to the camera. In person is nicest because you can smell things, but remote consults make up about a third of what we do.

A week or two before the date is ideal: close enough that the season check is accurate, far enough to source anything unusual. Wedding consults should happen months out.

Anything that captures the person or the space: photos, a paint card, a dress photo, the room it will sit in. The weirder the reference, the better the design usually is.

Bring us the vague idea. Leave with a design.
