What Does “Full-Service” Mean?

We categorize full-service weddings as events where we conceptualize, produce, and style the personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, etc.), ceremony décor, and reception décor.

Full-service events are custom-tailored to a couple’s unique needs and personalities, their chosen venue, and take into account any other special considerations.

We offer full-service wedding design for our clients who require a dedicated Stylist to help them execute their vision and manage all floral-related logistics on their wedding day.

Get Started

The Design Process

Learn more about the process to book full-service weddings & events with Ashland Addison Florist

Design Consultation

During your initial consultation, you and your stylist will work through your floral and décor needs together, discussing each element individually to confirm the quantities, placement, and vision for each piece. You’ll have the opportunity to share your ideas and preferences while your stylist provides guidance on design style, color palettes, and seasonal floral varieties.

Proposal Development

Your stylist will create a personalized proposal based on your collected inspiration images and the details discussed during your initial design consultation.

Save The Date

Time to make it official! When you’re ready to move forward, your date will be reserved with a signed agreement. A 30% retainer is collected at the time of signing to confirm your services.

In-Person Sample Meeting

Six to twelve weeks before your wedding, we’ll meet for your final sample meeting, where you’ll see your completed table centerpieces fully styled and staged in a finished tabletop setting. We’ll talk through each floral and décor element together, confirming every detail and making any final adjustments to ensure everything is exactly as planned for your wedding day.

Event Coordination & Styling

Your stylist will coordinate with you, your venue, and other necessary point persons to ensure all delivery, setup, on-site styling, and rental pickup details are fully coordinated and taken care of. Our experienced event team will execute your floral and décor design and collect all rentals at the end of the event, allowing you to fully enjoy your celebration.
