​Helpful Hints

For many of you this is your first time planning a wedding or event.  It can be exciting, overwhelming and all consuming.  For us, and the rest of your vendors this is something we do all the time.  Not to say that it isn't still exciting.  Please bear in mind that while every event your team of vendors works on is special, unique and gets the same loving care and our undivided attention on the day of your event, we are preparing for many throughout the year. 

We've put together a list of a few things that we think you might find helpful as well as some things that would really help us, and the rest of your vendors out. 

1.  As much as we want to work with you, space is limited and we take people on a first come basis.  Although we have met with you and sent you and estimate, we are not holding space for you until we receive your contract and deposit.

2.  Please take the time to fill out the inquiry form and give us as much information as possible, so the we can give you an accurate estimate.

3.   A Pinterest board is immensely helpful for all of your vendors to get a picture of what you have in mind.  Even if you don't have a clear vision it will help us see the common threads and colors. 

4.  Please take a moment or, as long as you need, to gather your thoughts before you get in touch with any of your vendors.  When you send an email or call every time you think of something, things can get lost in translation.  A concise email with a list is very helpful. 

5.  We want to give you, and all of our clients, the attention and time that you deserve.  Please know that most weeks we are working on design for the current week Thursday-Saturday.  Most Sundays are taken up by meetings and we are doing our best to get back to everyone during the beginning of the week. 

6.  Unless it is the week of your event, if at all possible, please try to refrain from calling or expecting an immediate response to an email Friday-Sunday.  We want to give as much of our attention as possible to the events at hand, and you will get the same attention as your event nears.

7.  If at all possible use the same email address to send all of your correspondence from.  It makes it much easier to search for you and keep all of the conversations together.

8.  When you are emailing about something specific it is very helpful if you note it in the subject line.  It makes it easy to find that conversation quickly.  

9.  Bear in mind that we are corresponding with many clients in any given hour, please do whatever you can to make it easy for us to help you.  Be as concise and thorough as possible.  We want to save our energy for working on your beautiful flowers. 

10. We love to see your photos and would be happy to use them on our website with your permission.

11. When things settle down after your event, any of your vendors would appreciate a quick review.

FAQ


Q:  Will Bonnie do all of my flowers herself?
A:  Dragonfly Floral Owner and Master Designer Bonnie Z will meet with you and come up with the overall design for your event.  She will then make prototypes to show her incredibly talented senior design team what she has in mind.  She will personally oversee all of the work that is done for your event, while working on the flowers as well.

Q:  Will my event be the only one that day?
A:  Probably not, but each and every event is equally important to us.  We do not take on more than we can handle and do put a cap on what we will do in a weekend.

Q:  Will everything used in my arrangements be grown on Dragonfly Farm?
A:  If it is important to you, please let us know.  Otherwise, we use as much as we can from the farm, but supplement with materials brought in from other growers.  Whenever we are able, we get things grown as locally as possible from like minded growers.

Q:  Will Bonnie be at my event set-up?
A:  More than likely you will see a very select team of Bonnie's trusted staff.  Although there is an occasional Bonnie sighting. She tends to stay at the farm to oversee all of the setups and be available for questions.

Q:  What will happen to my flowers after the event?
A:  If you choose to rent our containers, we will come pick them up after the event but the flowers can be taken.  Often they are in a liner within the container.  However we encourage people to purchase the vases at a nominal cost.  It is often less than the service charge to pick them up again.  We are also happy to repurpose flowers from local events to a nursing home or non-profit organization.

Q:  How many people will be working on my event?
A:  It depends on the size of your event.  On a big wedding weekend we have 6 - 8 designers in the studio, generally one person makes your personal bouquets, another team works on the other personal flowers, one designer is working on the big pieces and another team is working on the centerpieces.  Pablo is out in the field tending the garden and our delivery driver is running around making deliveries and picking up things that we need.

Q:  How many animals do you have here?
A:  We have roughly 30 chickens, 21 ducks, 3 dogs and 7 house cats between 2 households and 3 barn cats.
