Maravilla Floral Designs

I service LA, OC and Santa Barbara, Ventura County, and Inland Empire in Southern California.

I don't charge a minimum for weddings within 25 miles from my location, however, I ask for a $4000 minimum for areas exceeding that distance. I also have a $3000 minimum for premium flower types such as peonies, orchids, ranunculus, sweetpeas, anemones, juliet roses, and other high market value flowers. My pricing is based on the type of flowers, size of arrangements and amount of labor involved to set up the wedding or event. I do charge a service fee that covers design, delivery and labor.

Full service includes on-site labor to set up your wedding flowers. Al la carts are primarily priced for pick up, or delivery can be provided for an additional fee.

Not necessarily. It depends on the type of flowers and greens, as some are more higher in market value than others. It also depends on the month as well. February and May are the two months where all flowers and greens are priced at premium due to hallmark holidays.

No. Depending on the quality, silk flowers are not necessarily cheaper and can actually be more expensive than fresh flowers. Unless you buy the lower end silk flowers from Dollar Tree....

No. Like silk flowers, it depends on the type and quality. Dried Pampas grass, bleached ruscus, and baby's breath are far higher in price.

Be open to different flower types that will suit your budget. The number one way to cut cost is to lower guest count, do without corsages, excessive boutonniere count, and flower crowns. Repurpose your wedding flowers as much as possible! Aisle flowers or bridesmaid bouquets can be repurposed for centerpieces or the cocktail hour. Your arch decor can be repurposed for your sweetheart table or a welcome sign and/or a book signing table. Be as flexible as possible! Go for an a la carte package. You can save money by picking up your wedding flowers and either set them up DIY or have your coordinator place them on site for you.

I only have one fixed price package, which is an a la carte special priced at $900+ sales tax. This package was designed for the minimalist couple looking to save money and the item count is based on our average sales. The package is priced for pick up and does not include on-site labor.

Questionnaires are common and is standard practice in the floral industry, other wedding florists will expect you to do the same. They will save each other's time by helping you figure out your exact needs for your floral vision. I require a budget prior to estimating quotes, as I do not want to waist each other's time by spending hours on generating prices that are above your means. :)
