Often, couples will have their personal and ceremony flowers delivered to either their getting-ready location, house, or ceremony venue. Cocktail and reception flowers will go to the reception venue.

  • Delivery includes a simple drop-off to your location. Unfortunately we do not offer setup at this time! We recommend asking a coordinator or trusted friend or family member to help with this task.

  • You can select a 2-hour window for delivery to a room of your choosing at the delivery address.

Pickup FAQs

  • We recommend picking them up the day before your wedding to make the big day less stressfu.

  • Bouquets will be boxed in vases of water. Boutonnieres, Corsages, and other personals are individually wrapped and placed in shopping bags. Everything else is packaged in flower boxes.

Design & Customization FAQs

  • Start by checking out our online catalog and be sure to click into the product you have questions about. There’s a lot of detailed information - including more photos - for each item! Your wedding consultant can also try to answer questions BUT since everything is hand-made for your order, you won’t know exactly what it looks like until the big day.

  • For free, we will omit any flowers on your “Dislikes” list (except for roses) and try to incorporate flowers from your “Liikes”. With a $100 custom design fee, we can accomodate custom color palettes, certain style changes, and omit roses. Adding nonstandard items or serious style changes might be accomodated, pending designer approval. We cannot provide setup or teardown, use the customer’s own vases, attach arch pieces, or place the customer’s own decor. These are only available for custom weddings.

General FAQs

  • At least a full day, and likely longer. Bouts, corsages, and other personals should be refrigerated until you’re ready to use them. Bouquets, centerpieces, and accent floral will be fine at room temperature for 1-2 days. Due to the perishable nature of flowers, we are not responsible for flowers after they leave our care.

  • We cannot use your vases, but talk to your designer about using your own bouquet accessories. They’ll need to be dropped off at the studio at least a week in advance.

  • Yep, no problem! We’ll touch base about a month before your wedding to confirm your order and go over delivery details. Any changes can be made at that point. We have a 3 week cutoff for changes, at which time we will place your order with our flower growers and vendors.

  • We totally get it! You have to wait for your RSVPs to come in. Put down your best guess on the preorder form, and we’ll update it all during our month-of check in meeting.

  • Usually we need a bit more notice, but sometimes we can accomodate a last minute order (especially for winter couples). Email us at hello@hedoniaflowers.com and we’ll see what we can do!
