Design Minimums & Fees

• Is there a floral design minimum?
  Yes! Our minimums are: pre-selected faux design $500, custom faux design $1,500, fresh custom design $2,500, and a mix of fresh and faux $2,000.

• Why is there a minimum?
  The minimum ensures we can dedicate the proper time, resources, and expertise to create high-quality arrangements and provide exceptional service.

• Do you charge a labor and design fee? Why?
  Yes, a 25% fee is applied to your total order. This covers the time, labor, and expertise needed to design, source, and execute your floral arrangements to the highest standard.

• Can I adjust my order?
  Yes! You can add items up to 30 days before your event, subject to availability. Adjustments within your project are allowed, but you cannot go below the project minimum—funds may only be reallocated within your floral package.

• What if my date gets moved?
  We allow one complimentary date change with no change fees when provided at least 90 days’ notice. If your date or location change increases the cost of your project, the adjusted investment will be added to your total.

• How far in advance should I book my floral services?
  We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance, especially for peak seasons. If your date is sooner, please reach out—depending on availability, we may still be able to assist.

  • Labor & Design: $500

  • Tax: (product only) $170

Flowers & Floral Design

• Can I pick any flower?
  We strive to match your vision as closely as possible. Flowers are living, seasonal items, and we cannot control their availability or how they grow. If a bloom arrives damaged or in a different color, we make thoughtful substitutions to maintain the integrity of your design.

• What if my desired flowers are unavailable or out of season?
  We do our best to substitute with similar blooms and colors, but we cannot guarantee any specific flower.

• Can you make anything with faux florals?
  Yes! We source faux florals that match the fresh flowers we offer. When mixing fresh and faux, your arrangements will look seamless and cohesive.

• How does mixing fresh and faux flowers work?
  You can select which items are fresh and which are faux to best align with your budget and aesthetic. For example, you may choose all fresh personal flowers and all faux centerpieces, arches, or aisle décor.

• Can I repurpose my ceremony pieces for my reception?
  Yes! We encourage repurposing to maximize your floral investment. Speak with your designer or coordinator to determine what can be moved or if our team needs to stay onsite to assist.

• How much does a repurposing fee cost?
  Repurposing starts at $250 and may adjust depending on the complexity of your event day needs.

• Do you offer sample arrangements or mock-ups prior to the event?
  Yes! We are happy to create a sample for you to review. Mock-ups start at $250 to cover staffing, labor, and ingredients, and may increase depending on your request.

• What happens in the event of an emergency or supplier shortage?
  While rare, emergencies and shortages do occur. We are committed to working with you to reduce stress. If extreme price increases, shortages, or shutdowns occur, we will adjust your order accordingly. For example, if flower costs double and you have 10 large centerpieces, we may keep the quantity but scale them to a smaller size and substitute some ingredients to stay within your budget.

Vases & Rentals

• Do you provide vase rentals?
  Yes, we offer a variety of vases to complement your design.

• What if I want to use my own vases?
  Absolutely! Please send them to us at least 30 days before your event to ensure proper planning and design.

Delivery, Travel & Weather

• What is your travel policy?
  In Colorado Springs, we charge a standard $300 delivery and pick-up fee. Fees increase depending on location. Please contact our design team for a custom quote.

• What about weather?
  Weather is unpredictable—especially in Colorado. Extreme heat, cold, or wind can affect delicate fresh flowers. While we take every precaution to ensure freshness, once arrangements are outdoors, nature takes its course. Faux flowers should also not be exposed to extreme elements. Please discuss backup weather plans with our design team.

• How long do you need to set up and clean up?
  Setup time varies per order, but we require a minimum 3-hour setup window with your venue. This can increase based on design complexity. Clean-up is typically quicker but also depends on order size. Please coordinate timing with our design team.

Flower Ownership & Returns

• Do I get to keep the flowers?
  All flowers—fresh and faux—are rental items unless otherwise noted in your contract. Personal fresh items like bouquets are yours to keep.

• Can I pick up or return my flower order?
  Small orders may be picked up. Larger orders, especially those with ceremony or reception pieces, must be handled by The Flower Corner team to ensure proper setup and care.
