How
do I reserve my date and time with "Ms. Scarlett's Flowers"?
We
require a $200.00 non-refundable deposit to guarantee our
availability for the date and time of your wedding. This deposit
is applied to you final total balance. Please see our
Wedding Policies
for further information.
In
order for us to give specific advice on floral accessories, we
need to know the locations, date, time and any fashions with
which flowers will coordinate - especially your Bridal and
Bridesmaid gowns. We accept bookings one year in advance of the
wedding date. Simply reserve our services with a
deposit of
just $200 and schedule a detailed consultation after the above
items have been selected/purchased.
Please bring any photos of gowns, locations and accessories with
which you wish your flowers to coordinate plus a list of people
with which you wish to provide personal flowers (corsages,
boutonnieres, fingertip bouquets, etc...). Fabric samples from
both fashions and table linens are also quite helpful.
The more information you provide our consultants, the better and
more specific advice we can offer you.
We
deliver/service weddings throughout the Manatee/Sarasota area.
Minimum orders and delivery charges vary according to travel
distance, time and level of service required. Phone us
at 941-792-2269 or send us an email for details about your
specific location, date and time.
The
price of any bouquet or design has several components - the
quantity and varieties of flowers and foliages used, the season
in which the design will be made, the type of
containers/accessories used and amount of time and expertise
required to create the design. Due to the variance of fresh
flower costs as a result of seasonality, the price of a
particular bouquet or arrangement may fluctuate more than 100%
if made when the flowers pictured are out-of-season. We need
more information about your particular date in order for us to
quote you specific prices. Choosing flowers in season always
offers the very best value.
Price may also vary with the quality of ribbon; the value of the
container or the addition or elimination of special accessories.
Seasonality and availability influence the price of each flower
variety. Flowers out-of-season in North America may be obtained
from growers as far away as
Australia,
New Zealand, South
Africa or
Holland as well as other distant locations.
The
following flowers are generally available throughout the year
with relatively little price fluctuation: alstroemeria,
anthurium, carnations, chrysanthemums, gardenias, gerberas,
gladiolus, liatris, orchids (dendrobium) and snapdragons. Even
these can be found more plentifully during their peak seasons
(usually in the summer).
Flowers needed during particular seasons may also be a premium
price if they are in much-demanded colors. For example, red
flowers are in great demand during the Christmas season. To get
the most out of your budget during that holiday season, we often
recommend considering white or non-traditional
holiday-colored blossoms with red accessories such
as berries, ribbons or candles to achieve your desired effect.
Ask
your consultant for the best values available during your
season.
