One of a kind. Always.
Throughout our design process, we thoughtfully consider seasonality, color and texture interplay, and the mood of different floral elements. Every client is unique and their celebration tells a unique story. Our creative process is fueled by our collaborative relationships with our clients and building on one another’s inspiration brings magic into reality from an intimate to a grand scale.
A clear vision with
a few
unexpected delights
Floral design is an art, and when your medium is nature you can plan and plot, but nature will always surprise you. With our clients' trust, we deliver stunning planned visions along with inspiring unexpected floral ingredients from that week's market. This is the space where we create our best work.
Our Process
01
A Curious Inquiry
Planning your wedding design around a family heirloom? A life changing trip you went on? Is there a color combo that gives you LIFE? This is where we get to know you and what's most important to you as we create a floral plan that reflects your story, style, and budgetary priorities. Tell us all about your plans on our inquiry page. We'll reach out to schedule a consultation call to tease out your vision and discuss all the numbers and logistics to make it happen.
02
Envisioning
After our call, we will get to work on a design deck and pricing proposal. The design deck is filled with imagery, your color palette, potential floral ingredients in season during your day, hard good suggestions, and descriptions of all floral designs. Your pricing proposal gives a break down of where every dollar is being spent.
03
Alignment
Take time to go over your Design Deck and Pricing Proposal. If we are headed in the right direction, but adjustments need to be made, we are more than happy to make edits until the design and budget allocations reflect your desires and priorities. If we come to alignment and partnering feels right, we will collect a 50% deposit and a signed contract to confirm an official booking!
04
Finalize
The month before your event, we will schedule a call to review our floral plan, make any necessary updates, and discuss your timeline and day-of logistics. Once plans are finalized, we will send an updated pricing proposal and collect the remaining balance. On our end, we will place floral and candle orders, and finalize a production schedule with our freelance staff.
05
Event Week Magic
The week of your event we are hard at work in our studio processing flowers so that they are in peak bloom, organizing candles, creating arrangements, and expertly packing for a seamless transport. On the day of your event, floral items are quality checked, set with care, and any on-site installations are brought to life. All according to your specific timeline. At the end of the night, our staff will teardown all floral items and collect all of our rented inventory. From here we can all marinate in the wonderful memories.
Seasonal, Local, Sustainable
One of our highest priorities is to partner with local flower farmers to source local blooms as much as possible and reduce our environmental impact with thoughtful decisions when planning. With our client’s flexibility and trust, we can select the freshest and most stunning blooms of the week grown with care right from our own community. Play Bouquet is also committed to designing with foam-free mechanics and composts all floral materials after each event.
