Frequently asked questions

  • I began my floral design journey in 2016 and worked in several retail flower shops and freelanced with some of Toronto’s top wedding floral boutiques before deciding to branch out on my own in 2019. My studio specializes in creating flowers for events and clients with a more artistic and contemporary vibe.

  • Our studio only takes on a limited number of events per year so that we can focus all our creative energy on clients who are a good fit for us and value our expertise, experience, and process. A minimum investment of $7,000 before delivery and taxes is required during peak wedding season (May-October) for Full Service Floral Design.

  • Full Service Design is a collaborative process where we discuss your preferences and provide a consultation to create a detailed design proposal specifically tailored to your needs. This offering also includes exclusive access to our rental inventory of vessels, pedestals, candles and holders, as well as venue set up and tear-down. We make sure that everything is picture perfect and taken care of.

    A La Carte is a more streamlined service with no minimum spend required. All designs are Designer’s Choice and flowers can be picked up from our studio in the Annex. No set up or tear down is provided, and you will need to have someone set up the flowers at your venue for you. This option is perfect if you only require personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages) and/or a few simple centrepieces. We are not responsible for the care and appearance of your flowers once you have picked them up from our studio.

  • Please have a look at some of our previous work to make sure our studio’s style matches your vision. If our work resonates with you, carefully read and fill out this enquiry form (or have your hired wedding planner fill it out for you) providing as much information as possible.

    Your date is secured when we receive a non-refundable retainer and a signed agreement.

    If you are booking us for Full Service Design, a virtual design meeting will then be scheduled where we meet with you and your planner to discuss your vision in further detail.

    Following the design meeting, you will be provided with a detailed plan that includes one round of revisions if necessary.

    Please get in touch with us when you have a firm date and your venue is booked.

  • Generally speaking we book 6-9 months out for Full Service Floral Design weddings and no more than 2-3 months for A La Carte (although we have definitely taken on some events closer to the date - just ask us if we are available!) Please get in touch with us when you have a firm date and your venue is booked.

    Due to the nature of ever changing market prices for flowers, supplies, and contract workers, we are unable to provide estimates for events more than 12 months out.

  • Flowers are my chosen artistic medium and I have honed my skills over the course of many years both in the events industry and as a creative. My design fee is based per project and covers time spent overseeing all aspects of the floral design for your event/project- creating floral recipes, sourcing materials, correspondence with you or your planner, creating a customized design plan, and the processing and designing of your florals.

  • Floral samples/mock-ups are available for an additional fee and can be viewed in our studio in the Annex. We recommend scheduling as close to your wedding as possible if you would like a good idea of what is seasonally available for your date. Your sample will be created to be similar in colour and scale but we cannot guarantee that all floral varieties will be the same.

  • While we do our best to accommodate requests, we cannot guarantee specific bloom varieties. Flowers are seasonal and not everything is commercially available or suitable as a cut flower. Also bear in mind that Mother Nature is unpredictable, and climate conditions have a direct effect on what is available year to year. We are always happy to make suggestions and substitutions.

  • We are happy to collaborate with other creatives on styled shoots and creative projects provided that we are compensated for the cost of all materials and labour involved with your shoot/project. Flowers are perishable materials, and since we order everything specifically per event/project, we cannot sell any unused product or re-use it for a different project. Our creative skills and time are valuable to us and we do not work in exchange for exposure.

  • We are a private studio open by appointment only and primarily work on events. This means that we order flowers specifically for events and do not have a walk-in retail location. Occasionally we have retail offerings for popular holidays such as Valentine’s and Mother’s Day (you can sign up for our mailing list here to be the first to know about these offerings).

  • Yes! I’d love to hear more about your special event. Get in touch with me at flowers@rosalievillanueva.com
