FAQs

​

• Do you have a minimum spend? Why?

The short answer, yes and no. We have a minimum investment starting at $3,500 to book a simple setup or full service wedding. Since our availability is limited, we only take on simple setups and full service weddings/special events that meet our minimum so we can serve our clients the best way possible. We are a wedding and special event only studio florist not a traditional floral retail shop. This means we do not have a retail storefront to sell unused stems or products. All flowers and greens are ordered fresh and specifically for you and your wedding. However, we do not require a minimum spend for couples who would like to pick up their flowers at our studio. 

• How many weddings do you typically do a weekend?

Generally, we do one to three weddings and/or special events per weekend. You do have the option to book us exclusively for your event weekend when you spend a minimum of $9,500.00. Booking us exclusively for the weekend means you'll get us Friday evening through Sunday at noon. Wedding couples who opt for this options typically include rehearsal dinner flowers, Sunday brunch flowers and a full cleanup Sunday morning. 

• Do you have packages?

Yes we offer elopement/mini wedding packages for couples who are eloping and don't meet our minimum spend for a full setup custom wedding. You can find those packages on our elopement page here. 

• Do you sell just flowers for DIY brides?

We currently do not sell just flowers to DIY brides but it is something we are thinking about in the future. Please let us know if you would like more details.

• Do you offer rental items? 

Yes! We offer an array of table numbers, vases, urns, compotes, arbors, simple lighting and more! Interested in a rental but not sure we would be able to provide it? Ask away! You might be surprised. All of our rental costs include delivery to your venue. Typically our wedding couples drop the items back off to our studio the following day but we also offer a pick up option as well. 

• Do you travel?

Yes! We love to travel! Fly us anywhere. Our favorite wedding venue to travel to is At Bear Tree in Pittsburg, NH but we're also very excited to head to Beech Ridge Barn in Saco Maine in October 2021!

• I live out of town. How can we meet and do a consultation?

We have worked with a bunch of out of town couples before. We have the ability to do consultations over the phone, over email, or Zoom.

• How far in advance should I book my consultation?

We recommend booking early. Most brides book with us a year to 6 months out from their weddings. We can, of course, accommodate last-minute events but sometimes that can mean limited flower or color choice. We've booked weddings that were over 18 months out! Provided you have your date and venue locked in there is no reason to wait. 

• How long will my consultation take? What should I bring to be prepared?

Consultations for simple and average typically take between 1/2 hour to 1 hour. For larger, more intricate weddings consultations can last up to 1 and 1/2 hours. We recommend bringing any color swatches you are hoping to match to, any photos of bouquets and arrangements you love, a rough idea of your budget, as well as an open mind. We hear brides come in and say no I refuse to have carnations but when they find out that most of their favorite bouquets have them they change their mind. We promise they don't make them like they used to! 

• Do you offer delivery, setup, and break down?

We do! Most often simple weddings are done as pick up or delivery only. For larger events, we do offer full setup and breakdowns.

• Will you coordinate with my other vendors?

We love working with other vendors! We find that it makes everyone's job easier. The vendors we work the closest with are the venues, wedding planners/coordinators, and photographers. Still, haven't found an exceptional sweet treat/cake baker? Check out of favorite girls at Oh Sweet! In need of a photographer or make-up artist? We have a full list of vendors who've personally worked with before and absolutely love! 

• The more greens in the design the cheaper, right?

This might be one of the biggest misconceptions we come across. While some more traditional greens are very affordable newer greens and more trendy greens such as agonis, italian ruscus and eucalyptus are just as expensive as some flowers. P.S. baby's breath is sometimes lumped into this category and while it is a very traditional filler, it's just as expensive as other fillers. 

Emily at Tipsy Tulip was amazing to work with! Our original wedding was cancelled due to COVID-19 so we planned a very small “backyard” ceremony instead. Emily was super flexible and worked with me in changing the plans, she did a no contact set up and delivery and she made my peony dreams come true!! She is so easy to work with, super responsive and does an amazing job! Hands down, the best quality and service around!
