Wedding and Event FAQ

How far in advance do I need to book my wedding or event flowers?

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, in person at 1411 Troy Rd Ste A, Edwardsville, IL 62025 or fill out our consultation form HERE and we will contact you to schedule a day/time that works for you.

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 a non-refundable design retainer.

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. We offer packages to give you an idea of style and pricing for that item.  These packages will be adjusted to meet your wedding needs.  You can view those HERE.

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. 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.

Do you provide wedding rental decorations?

A: We do! We offer a full line of rentals including: table linens, table napkins, chair sashes and table runners. This is all based on availability at the time of booking, so don’t wait to meet with us for your wedding rental items.

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.

Do you offer delivery and pickup options?

A: Yes, we offer both options.  Once your florals are decided, we will be able to work with you to decide on the best method to get them to the event.
