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.

When should I expect a proposal? A
preliminary proposal will be composed and sent to you with a contract via Email
(and mail) within 7 business days of your initial consultation.
