As you plan your wedding, you are in charge of every single detail. You know every bite of food, every song to be played (and the songs NOT to be played). You know what everyone will be wearing. You have chosen every linen, knife, fork, spoon, candle, chair, etc. You know the venue, captains and coordinators.
However, with Jacque Dearing as your florist, YOU DON’T KNOW what your florals will look like. It’s the one thing you don’t get to see until the moment you walk into that room or until I place that bouquet in your lovely hands.
I don’t do mock ups and here’s why.
During our design consultations we will discuss every flower, color, texture, piece of glass and ribbon that will be used to enhance and complement the biggest day of your life. You will see pictures and sketches plus so much more that will make you feel safe, secure and confident in your decision to book us as your designer. If you doubt, ask to see the multitude of Thank You cards and letters of references to convince you to place your confidence in us as your trusted consultants / designers.
I ask brides not to book with us unless they are one hundred percent confident in us as Designers/planners. We need you to know that you are getting exactly what will make you not just happy but ecstatic. This being said, I believe that making a sample takes away the WOW moment for both of us!
After seeing a Mock up in the show room, instead of walking into your reception and having your breath taken away by something you could never have imagined; you will walk in and say “yup, that’s what I ordered.” That’s not good enough. To the floral designer this is the injustice! Thee wonderful moment becomes just ho hum. We need you to have the Jaw dropping- wide eyed- OMG-look at this place, excitement that comes from seeing your ideas in real life for the first time!
So when you ask me to do sample bouquets and arrangements I will politely answer…”No”.
