FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Renee Burroughs Design?
We are a wedding and event floral design company serving the Upstate of South Carolina. Our floral focus is primarily weddings, but we also birthdays, showers, private parties, corporate, and sympathy flowers along with specialty decor. Renee leads a team of designers that share her love of flowers and expertise knowing that no task is too large. We service over 125 events a year and usually recommend booking 10-12 months in advance.
Where do we begin?
We always begin with a phone consultation to get to know one another and cover some preliminary details. This usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and we can certainly cover quite a bit in that amount of time. We do ask that you do a bit of "homework" before that time though. The old saying a picture is worth a thousand words is so true. We ask brides to send us pictures of floral styles and designs that draw their attention. We are not a cookie cutter florist where you pick your arrangements from a book, we create your design specifically for you, so we ask you to find photos that speak to you for us to pull inspiration from. You can find inspiration pictures on many of the bridal websites or our Pinterest page. Just look for styles and a general feel of designs that speak to you. If you have a Pinterest account, just send us the link and we can see what you love.
What are your prices?
We are very specific to work within your budgetary boundaries and design your style within your budget. Every event is unique, and pricing varies based on each clients’ needs, priorities & vision. We do suggest you take the time to create an overall budget for the wedding to see what you would like to put toward floral design and décor. You can use the many budget worksheets available on-line at any one of the many wedding websites. We also have the average pricing of wedding floral necessities on our webpage. Renee did a min-workshop at a recent Wedding Festivals on the topic of budgeting for a wedding that you can view here. We do not require a minimum.
How far in advance should I contact you for my wedding or event?
If you are getting married or having an event during “peak” wedding months (April-October) we suggest booking 8-12 months in advance, as we fill up very quickly. The additional timeline of design planning can sometimes take up to 4 weeks so don’t hesitate if you are interested in an event with Renee Burroughs Design. We are always happy to help out with last minute bookings as our schedule permits.
Is there a charge to meet with you?
Initial phone and the first design plan consultations are complimentary.
Do you have a minimum?
No minimum purchase is required to work with us. We do have a minimum of $3,000 plus service for full service purchases. We want the opportunity to work with every couple that wants to be a part of what we do. If you are having a small intimate wedding or have decided to be conservative with your floral budget, we would be delighted to help in any way we can.
Do you charge delivery or is that included?
We do charge for delivery, styling and installation; this charge includes on site set up and is calculated based on distance traveled and on-site installation requirements. We have a floral designer at every event site qualified to handle any last-minute emergency that may occur the day of the event. We don’t just send someone to drop off your delivery. Not all weddings require on-site services and pick-up is available.
How do I do a Pick-up? I am unsure that would be a good idea… Yikes! How does that work?
Pick up is chosen by many, many couples. Remember, you just need an appropriate vehicle and a responsible driver. This works because WE load EVERYTHING for you. All bouquets and arrangements are transported in appropriate, secure crates and come with a detailed labeled system that tell you exactly where each piece belongs at the wedding and who each bouquet, corsage and boutonniere belong to. Floral pick up is available the morning of your event from 8:00 AM to Noon.
Do you provide tear down and clean up services at the end of my event?
We do. This is calculated separately from delivery and set up as it is not always necessary for every event.
How do I book the date?
You should expect to pay a non-refundable deposit of 50% of your total floral design package to secure your date and book our services for your event date. Balance is due 30 days before the event. We also have a contract that we will send you. Dates are not considered booked until we have both the deposit and contract on file.
Do you take Credit Cards?
Yes. We accept all major Credit Cards subject to a 3.5% service charge. We also accept Zelle, Venmo, cash and check.
Do you have vases, containers and other items to use my events?
We do. Our many collections of vessels for flowers are as broad as individual tastes. We offer many options for ceremony, aisle, centerpiece, food table and other reception designs. These options are already calculated in the total cost of each arrangement. It is very practical to use what we have and not have the considerable cost of buying things for your event. We have ceremony structures, pillars and props ideal for an array of all visions.
Can you use my vases for the centerpieces?
Yes, we will be happy to.
Can I rent your wedding canopy and doors if I am doing my own flowers?
We offer our all our props to our floral design clients exclusively as we are not a rental company. We would love to talk with you about what an overall floral and décor plan could be for your event.
Do you do more than one wedding a day?
We do. With over 25 years in wedding floral design, Renee takes to heart our deepest core value, “We have only ONE DAY to get this right.” We have experienced designers that lead each team of staff members and have backs-ups in place to assure that we provide exactly what you are expecting and more. We are ready at a moment’s notice to adjust to any unexpected change in your timeline, circumstance or need of the day. With simple photo sharing, Renee is able to see each and every arrangement and placement of designs we provide for you. We are not finished until Renee gives the final approval on everything. Your wedding will always be our priority.
Where can I see more of your work?
We invite you to view hundreds of images on our Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest pages.
