How far in advance do I need to secure my date for a Winston Flowers wedding? Whether your wedding is two weeks away or two years away, we encourage your inquiries at anytime. Prior to setting up your initial appointment it is helpful to know which month your wedding is taking place and to have a sense of the venue.

Is a deposit required to secure the date?
Following an initial consult with a designer, 10% of your proposal is required as a deposit to secure your date. However, should you choose to secure the date prior to your initial appointment then we ask for a flat $250 fee to hold the date on our calendar.

What encompasses floral needs for a wedding? We divide a wedding into three categories: personal flowers (bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, nosegays, head wreaths, baskets), flowers for the ceremony (aisle decorations, ceremony arrangements, altar arrangements, Chuppahs, aisle runners), and flowers for the reception (cocktail tables, place card table, centerpieces, restrooms, buffets).

I have a favorite flower and I want to know if this specific flower is available for my wedding date. Winston Flowers has plentiful resources and has been importing flowers as long as we've been in business, for 60 years. Definitely let your designer know if you have a favorite flower so that availability as well as alternatives can be explored.

What should I bring to the initial consultation and what can I expect to get accomplished during that meeting? The initial consultation can be purely informational but will be most productive if you bring some information and ideas to the table. Bring in any props that will help inspire your designer such as swatches of fabric from your gown and your bridesmaid gowns, linen samples, photos, magazine tear sheets. You will leave the meeting with a better feeling for the scope of the flowers for your wedding.

I would like to come in and take a look through some portfolios of your work. Can I just drop by? Our event design team works out of our design studio in Boston, which is not a retail location so give us a call and we would be happy to set up an appointment for you.

Can I be assured that someone will listen to my ideas? Not only will we work with your concepts and theme, but we will use our expertise and knowledge in the art of floral design to steer you in the right direction to ensure that your needs and goals are met in a way that complements your style and your venue beautifully.

Who will I be working with throughout the process? Your initial appointment will be scheduled with one of our event designers. Your designer will be selected from a small group that embodies a remarkable spectrum of talent. Most of your correspondence will be with your designer as well as the event manager.
Back to Top

When should I expect a proposal? A preliminary proposal will be composed and sent to you with a contract via Email (and mail) within 3-5 business days of your initial consultation.
Back to Top

What is the payment schedule? In order to secure your date on our calendar, we require a signed contract with a 10% deposit. The rest of the payment schedule is as follows: a 50% balance is due six weeks prior to the event and the final balance is due two weeks prior to the event.
