FAQs

  • Once you've filled out our floral inquiry form, we'll get to work on crafting a floral design estimate along with a concise visual mood board.

    After that, we'll have a chat to discuss any tweaks or adjustments you might have in mind. Once we're pretty close to capturing your vision, you’ll sign a contract and put down a 50% retainer fee.

    It's important to note that signing the contract doesn't mean you're locked into a fixed design. You're absolutely welcome to make changes even after this step! The contract and retainer primarily serve to secure our availability for your event date and to ensure that we remain your dedicated florist. We're here to work closely with you and bring your floral vision to life!

  • There isn’t a specific timeframe set, however, I suggest finalizing your venue and wedding date first to make sure your date is available on my calendar.

    We work with clients anywhere from 12 months before their wedding date to 60 days before. However, we think the sweet spot is about 6-8 months before the big day.

    For micro weddings or elopements, 2-3 months is the norm.

  • This is really dependent on the event size and what you are looking for in florals. I want to be an extension of your team and become immersed in your brand to bring the most impact. That being said, smaller brand events are typically 60 days in advance while bigger events are 3-4 months in advance.

  • Yes, absolutely. We will have a check-in 2 months before your event to finalize your florals. However, any changes that result in a deduction of the overall price cannot fall below 90% of the contract total.

  • Babe, I got you! And know that's perfectly okay!

    This is part of the mood boarding process! I like to have you start by sending me no more than 10 inspiration photos (4-5 venue photos, 3-4 lifestyle/fashion/vibes inspiration, and 2-3 floral inspiration). I prefer to have less floral inspiration because it can hinder the creative process. I do not replicate other florists’ designs and keep in mind Pinterest photos don’t have the same venue or budget as you. Plus, you deserve a unique vision for your event.

    From there, I provide you a multi-page moodboard of my ideas.

    I also will happily do a venue walkthrough with you where we can go through each space together. It can be a fun creative session and often adds to the excitement!

    I’m here for you and we will create the most magical day together!

  • My designs are typically described as modern, playful and full of color.

    I love to create arrangements that are not only visually striking but also evoke a sense of joy and energy. I enjoy experimenting with different textures, shapes, and color palettes to bring a contemporary twist to traditional floral design.

    Whether it's a whimsical bouquet for a special occasion or a unique centerpiece for an event, I strive to infuse my designs with a sense of personality and creativity, ensuring they stand out and leave a lasting impression.

  • Sans Grande is happily floral foam free! All mechanics used in my designs are sustainable and typically include chicken wire, ceramic or glass vases, OshunPouch, and Agra Wool.

    We compost all natural materials used in our floral designs. This includes tear down at an event. We will take natural materials back to our studio to compost if there is not a compost bin onsite.

    OshunPouch is a sustainable Expandable Floral Pouch mechanic. OshunPouch’s components are environmentally friendly, bio-degradable and compostable.

    Agra Wool is reusable and biodegradable, this new eco-friendly floral design product is non-toxic and made from 97% basalt mineral rock fibers.

  • This is my most asked question. I do my best to source local flowers from local farmers or at Seattle Wholesale Grower’s Market to minimize my carbon footprint.

    Occasionally, specific flowers can’t be grown locally or the flower type requested is not in season and I will work with my local wholesalers to order those.

  • Yes, teardown is included in my estimates for all events. An event teardown consists of me returning after the event to take down any installations and collect all leftover florals and vessels.

    All floral waste is composted at the end of an event.

  • You can totally keep your event flowers! If you are looking to preserve your flowers, let me know and I can happily pull the best blooms for preservation.

    You’re also welcome to give event florals away to guests so that they can be enjoyed longer.

    However, if you are renting any vessels, those will need to be returned to Sans Grande.

  • Absolutely! I love creating florals for the everyday.

    Birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations, and just because! I believe flowers create a connection to others and make you feel seen without any words.

    Send me an email at hello@sansgrande.com and we will get you those flowers!

  • Yes, I love doing retail subscriptions! We will work together to create designs that fit your brand and environment.

    I offer two options: biweekly and weekly. All retail subscriptions have a 3-month minimum.

    Reach out and inquire for more information!

  • You got it! Sometimes you might need flowers for something and it's not quite an event and it's not quite a delivery order. This is where custom orders come in! If this sounds like you,  please fill out our Inquiry Form and we'll be in touch shortly.
