THE BLUSHING EXPERIENCE
FAQs
-
When you hire Blushing Design, you are not just hiring a florist that you won't hear from after booking until your payment is due. We work closely with our couples, coordinators, and vendors to make sure we are capturing their visions in every detail and help to make the planning process as simple and fun as possible. You don’t have to worry about making one big lump sum payment. The payment schedule is broken down into 3 payments; non-refundable retainer to book, 50% of your remaining balance 90 days prior to your wedding date, and the remaining balance 21 days prior to your wedding date. As your planning comes together and we get closer to your date, we will work with you to make any necessary adjustments needed.
The day of your wedding our team will arrive early to set up all floral installations, decorations and rental pieces from Blushing Design, so you can sit back and relax on your wedding day. We come back at the end of the night to then break down all floral installations and pick up any rental pieces.

Budgeting for your flowers can be tricky based on what flowers are being used, what’s in season, and most importantly how many guests you’re planning on attending. You can look at your floral budget as you would for food and beverage, the more elaborate and floral-heavy designs you’re wanting the bigger the budget needs to be.
If you’re wanting designs heavy on flowers with installations and bigger arrangements included, plan on budgeting $65-$75 per person.
For a moderate, middle-of-the-road budget, you’re looking at $50-$60 per person and for a simple budget, you’re looking at $40-$50 per person.

Ideally, you’d like to book your florist 9 months in advance to guarantee that we are available for your date. If you know you’d like to hire Blushing Design as your wedding florist before you have all your details ready, you can place your non-refundable retainer to reserve your date with us, and schedule a consultation at a later date. If your wedding is only a few months away, still reach out to see if we are available.

Before we have our first consultation it is helpful that you have an idea of your color scheme and overall vision (classic, boho, organic, elegant, fun, country chic, etc.) This will help us know what style to design your flowers and what types of flowers and colors to choose from. Have a rough idea of what you’d ideally like to spend on your flowers. See “How should I budget for my flowers” for assistance in deciding your budget.

We travel up to 80 miles or an hour and a half radius from Kalamazoo Mi. This includes; St. Joe, Holland, Grand Rapids, Rockford, Lansing, Jackson, and the northern part of Indiana.
If your wedding is outside our radius we would love to still be your florist, there will be travel and overnight accommodations added that will be included in your charge.
We are BLOWN AWAY!! Heather and her team made our wedding more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! Thank you so much for all the time and care you put into our day, it did not go unnoticed!
