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.

I be assured
that someone
will listen
to my ideas?

work with
your concepts
and theme,

use our

direction
to ensure
that your
needs and
goals are
met in a

your style
and your
venue beautifully.
