Wedding and Event FAQ
A: We love to meet with our couples at any time in their planning process. For best availability, we recommend at least 6 months out from your date. The farther out the better as we do run out of availability.
Is a consultation required? A: We do like to meet with all of our couples prior to providing a proposal and scheduling a consultation ensures our undivided attention to your wedding or event. Every wedding and event is such a unique vision and we want to completely understand that and the personality of our customer. Consultations may be in person or via phone and are always complimentary.
How do I book a consultation or contact you for my wedding or event? A: You can contact us via phone (618)307-9056, email at info@goffdittmanflorist.com, or in person at 1411 Troy Rd Ste A, Edwardsville, IL 62025.
What should I bring to the consultation? A: We love inspiration pictures, fabric samples, centerpiece ideas or anything else that is driving your vision for the event.
How can I secure my wedding or event date? A: To secure a date with us, we require a signed contract and 50% non-refundable deposit.
What is your pricing or package options?
A: Each wedding and event is a unique design experience. We want our customers to have a custom proposal specific to what they need and don’t need for the event. Pricing is driven by flower varieties, seasonality, size, style and quantity. All proposals are itemized so pricing is very transparent for our customers to make the best designs to meet their budget needs.
What if I do not know exactly what type of flowers I want for my wedding or event?
A: That’s great! We can take inspiration images and your colors to offer suggestions to meet your theme and vision.
What if I already know exactly what type of flowers I want for my wedding or event?
A: That’s great too. We are happy to determine availability based on season for the specific flower varieties you want.
What happens after I get my quote?
A: Once you receive your quote, you are free to add/delete/change as needed. Each quote has an expiration date and that is typically about 2-3 weeks depending on how far out your wedding or event date is. We use this time to answer any questions or make any needed changes to the quote.
What are your delivery, set up and take down fees?
A: Delivery is based on mileage and therefore varies by location. Setup and Take Down is determined by hours needed for each item. Therefore this is really best determined after a consultation appointment. These items are itemized separately on quotes as well so it is easy to understand.
What if the flowers I want are not in season?
A: Flowers out of season may still be an option for you depending on your budget. When choosing out of season flowers, be prepared to pay a premium as they are being sourced and flown in from miles and miles away. We are always happy to offer suggestions for in season flowers that will meet with colors, shapes and vision you have.
Can I see samples of my wedding flowers?
A: As long as we have the flowers available, we are happy to pull items from our in house cooler. Just understand not every color/type is available at all times. We will always pull up any needed pictures for you and work to give you the best representation of what your wedding flowers will look like.
Do you have a wedding flower gallery I can see?
A: We do! We have several on Facebook and here is a link to our 2020 one https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=goffdittmanflorists&set=a.3017035911684593
Do you provide other services, like pew bows, wedding rentals, and arbors?
A: We do! Really any floral or décor you need, we can provide. We also have a full line of linen rentals, chair covers, sashes, table settings, tents, tables, chairs and a lot more! This is all based on availability at the time of booking, so don’t wait to meet with us for your wedding flowers.
What is your deposit policy and how do I pay my deposit?
A: At the time of booking, you will pay a 50% non-refundable deposit. This can be paid via cash, check or credit/debit card. Your balance is due 7 days out from your event date.
What is your change policy once booked?
A: You can make changes up until 30 days out from your event date. We welcome changes at any time in the planning process though. We do not charge a “change fee.” We only charge for the change itself. For example, you want to add on an additional corsage at $25, then the change will just be an additional $25 and any applicable taxes.
Do you only offer fresh flowers? What about artificial?
A: We LOVE both! Artificial flowers are called “silk flowers” in our world. We are happy to offer designs in fresh, silk or a mixture of both.
