FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

Is my wedding date available?

This question is very important, we like to make sure that date is opened. 

Have you done events at my ceremony or reception location before? If not, are you familiar with the sites?

If we have not designed at this particular location we will like to do a location view to give the client a full custom detail of what our team will create for their venue. 

Are you available to do a venue walk-through before the wedding date? If so, do you charge a fee for this?

We love to do a  "Selmat location view", we need to see the details of the venue meet the onsite coordinator, find out were we can park our trucks and learn the do's and don'ts for the venue.  We also become very familiar with the floor plans to execute our décor. At each location we become very familiar with the venue policies and location details this will also give us a view of how we can turn the venue into our décor master piece.

Will you be doing my arrangements yourself or would it be another florist?

Why would someone ask this question you say! Well some clients had a bad experience with other florist or a coordinator that said they did the flowers and actually a florist designed them.  Every floral arrangement, event décor, photos etc. are custom designed by Selmat Design only.  We are the event decorators and the floral designers.  Every aspect of your wedding/event is custom design by  Selmat Design.

How far in advance of the wedding will you create the bouquets and arrangements, and how are they stored?

Every year we are blessed with couples that need a florist FAST.  We've been hired as late as two day's before there wedding or on  the day of.  Nothing is impossible for us to make it happen even in at short notice.  This is what we are trained for!  For the couples that plan early we can take more time to customize every detail for your wedding such as menu cards, table name, etc. which are designed weeks in advance. The flowers are ordered  months in advance prep and designed the week of the wedding.

 

What is your favorite flower(s)?

How long do you need to set up?

Each venue has a different time to set up. Some locations only allow 30 min. This is a question you can ask the venue coordinator so you can make a decisions on how much decorations you would like to have.

We prefer to arrive very early but most venues only allow you to arrive 30 min early.  We will work with the venue so do not worry about this it's our job to make sure we coordinate the time.
