Planner's guide
Best For:
- Weddings with natural, organic aesthetic preferences
- Corporate events requiring fresh floral installations and arrangements
- Team-building activities and experiential events (workshops, hen parties)
- Events emphasizing sustainability and British-sourced materials
What planners usually like:
- Custom, bespoke design approach means arrangements are tailored to specific event themes and color palettes rather than pre-made options
- Seasonal sourcing keeps costs more predictable and ensures flower freshness, reducing waste and wilting issues on event day
- In-house floristry school provides flexibility for interactive elements—guests can participate in workshops during events rather than passive decoration alone
- Scandinavian design philosophy typically translates to minimalist, structural arrangements that photograph well and suit modern venues
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm delivery and installation timeline, particularly for large events—ask whether they handle setup on-site or if you need additional labor
- Discuss budget parameters upfront since "contact for pricing" requires direct communication; ask about minimum order values and seasonal price variations
- Verify whether workshop facilitators are available for your specific event date and capacity limits for interactive floristry sessions
- Clarify sourcing restrictions—confirm which flowers/foliage are available during your event date, especially if requesting out-of-season varieties
Common questions
What's the typical lead time needed for booking The Flower Factory for a wedding?
Weddings requiring custom, bespoke arrangements typically need 4-8 weeks advance notice, though this varies by season and event size. Since they emphasize seasonal sourcing, earlier booking also helps ensure your preferred flowers are available. Contact them directly with your event date to confirm current availability and any seasonal constraints.
Can The Flower Factory handle both the floral design AND run a floristry workshop at my event?
Yes—this is one of their core strengths. They can design event installations while also facilitating a hands-on workshop activity (hand-tied bouquets, wreath-making, or Ikebana) for guests. Clarify whether these are priced separately and how much time/space the workshop requires so you can plan your event timeline accordingly.
How do they source dried flowers, and will that impact my event budget?
They sustainably source dried flowers from British growers, which typically costs less than fresh flowers while offering longevity. If you're interested in incorporating dried elements into your event design, this can actually reduce overall floral costs. Ask for dried vs. fresh pricing comparisons and which option suits your event aesthetic best.
What happens if specific flowers I want aren't available on my event date?
As a seasonally-driven studio, availability varies throughout the year. During your initial consultation, discuss your color palette and style preferences rather than specific flower names, and they'll recommend what's freshest and most cost-effective for your date. They should provide alternative options if exact requests aren't possible.
Are workshop classes suitable for mixed skill levels, or do I need experienced participants?
Workshops are designed for both beginners and experienced florists, making them flexible for team-building or hen parties with mixed abilities. Clarify group size limits, duration of workshops, and whether they provide any pre-workshop guidance so all participants feel comfortable and confident.
Do they offer corporate floral arrangements for ongoing office refreshes, or only one-time event installations?
They specialize in corporate floral arrangements, though the description emphasizes event work. Ask whether they provide recurring weekly or monthly refreshes for office spaces, or if their corporate services are limited to one-time installations and special events. Pricing and availability will differ between these options.
