MUST KNOW
INFORMATION
Our A La Carte Wedding & Event Collection simplifies the process of ordering special event flowers. We require a one week lead time on our A La Carte designs. Orders are encouraged for PICKUP but we can accommodate delivery depending on availability. Installations such as ceremony florals are delivery only.
1. Choose your favorites from our À La Carte wedding flower menu, and add to cart. Just select your preferred sizes – there’s no order minimum!
2. At check out, select Local Delivery or Pickup and select your date. We require one week minimum lead time for events; three weeks minimum lead time will give us the best availability and variety on your flowers! During checkout, select the date of your in-store pickup, or choose local delivery within Atlantic and Cape May Counties.
3. Keep an eye on your email! After you order, our Customer Service Concierge (theflowercompany01@gmail.com) will email to confirm details and logistics. You may forward up to 5 floral inspiration photos to share your color preferences with our florists. If you selected delivery, we will send a form to be completed that gives us more detailed delivery information. We will confirm your order within 48 hours. We reserve the right to cancel your order within that time frame.
4. Your order will be ready for pickup at our Marmora studio or delivered at the location, date and time specified at checkout. Continue reading through our FAQ for more information.
5. Enjoy! The flowers, vases, and any candles you purchased are yours to keep or giveaway!
When should I order my flowers?
We accept Wedding & Event Collection orders up to twelve months in advance. Placing your order as early as possible within this time range is advised, but giving at least three weeks lead time will ensure we can get the greatest variety and best prices available for your event flowers. For events, we require a minimum of one week lead time.
Is there a minimum order for A La Carte events?
No minimum here!
Can you create custom pieces or customize the color palette for my wedding?
Our Wedding & Event Collection is designed to be a streamlined service, allowing for easy ordering and execution of your event. This keeps costs down and gives us greater ability to take on additional events alongside larger, full service custom events. A la carte flowers are at a discounted rate because we get to design something unique for you, without spending too much time going into the little details. Essentially, tell us the general vibe you are going for, and we will make something one of a kind. No small details please!
Feel free to note any special blooms you'd love to see in your arrangements in the note section at checkout, however seasonality and cost may determine whether or not we can accommodate these special requests. Our floral artists will use your inspiration as a guide as we build your pieces in our signature style with fresh, seasonally available blooms.
Will you set up my flowers or breakdown/strike my event?
A La Carte weddings & events are designed to be delivered or picked up and easily set out by an event coordinator or person designated by you, with the exception of flowers for a rented The Flower Company arch or chuppah.
If you're interested in adding basic set up services, contact us at theflowercompany01@gmail.com to inquire about rates and availability. If our team is available, this service can be added and invoiced separately at a rate of 20% of your order subtotal.
The pieces in these collections are designed to be easily cleaned up and removed, and all items are yours to keep. All Al La Carte orders come with a vase/vessel for the vased arrangement options (bud vases, centerpieces, etc.) We would gladly take them back after your big day is over so we are able to re-use them!
How long will my flowers last?
Event flowers are carefully managed at our studio to ensure they are open, beautiful and at their prime for your event, meaning their post-event lifespan is not as long as an arrangement purchased at a retail location. Following care instructions, including changing/adding fresh water daily or ever other day and removing more delicate blooms as they fade, will allow you to enjoy the flowers for as long as possible after your event.
Can I order from your A La Carte menu for everyday flowers or other events?
Our Wedding & Event Collection is available for any purpose, but keep in mind there is a minimum of one week lead time.
At the time of checkout, you will enter your desired address and date for delivery. After you have placed your order a member of our team will reach out to you to confirm the order and direct you to a form where we will ask you to provide further information to ensure a smooth delivery.
As noted in the A La Carte FAQs, delivery does not include set up of flowers, with the exception of flowers for a rented The Flower Company arch or chuppah.
