Q: Are you LGBTQIA+ friendly vendor?
A: YES! We support you and welcome you with open arms. We are a safe space for all those who want to celebrate their love. We also have a list compiled of other INCLUSIVE vendors if you need any recommendations :)
Q: Do you require a deposit when booking and why?
A: Yes, we require a 30% non-refundable deposit that will go towards your final payment. We require a deposit to reserve your date on our calendar. We take on a select amount of wedding each month to ensure quality and client satisfaction. You will not see us pumping out multiple weddings a weekend. When you reserve your Full Service Event the Date is RESERVED for your event ONLY.
Q: What is the difference between Full Service Wedding Floral and A La Carte Wedding Floral?
A: A La Carte Floral is perfect for the couples who want to DIY aspects of their wedding, don't require consultations, do not require day of set up or onsite design. Often these are more intimate weddings or "bridal party only" orders. Our A La Carte couples are less hands on and only need to provide the following: Date, Deposit, Color Pallet (photo inspiration) and a description of the floral items needed and we will take care of the design elements and select seasonal blooms in your color pallet. All of your floral items will be hydrated, packed and labeled for you to pick up from our design studio in Waconia. All rental items must be returned within 3 days of your event. Delivery services can be added if we are available.
Our Full Service Wedding Floral is for the couple who wants more involvement and needs more floral and onsite design elements. This package includes 2 consultations and we offer "venue walk throughs" upon request. We provide all vessels needed for your designs with ability to rent additional vessels and candles. Additional Day of Services are provided for your event as your day is fully reserved for your event only. Bloom selection is more hands on with this package but sadly no specific bloom can be promised.
Q: Is there a extra fee for Delivery, Set up, Room Flips and Strikes (end of the night teardown service)?
A: A La Carte & Event Floral DOES NOT include any of the above services. Delivery and Set up (onsite design) can be added to your order if we are not Booked with a Full Service Client when your Final balance comes due. If your date is not booked you can then add on additional day of services. Prices for these service are based on design and availability and location.
We offer a selection of Full Service Options which allow for Day of Services to be added to your date. Being that we only book one full service wedding per date we are available to add Delivery, Set up and Styling, Onsite Design/Room Flips and Teardown services for a additional investment based on your designs needs.
Q: Do you also offer "everyday" flowers?
A: We are not your "typical" flower shop. We don't have fresh flowers weekly. We do offer Fresh BLOOM Subscriptions for those with Fresh Floral needs on a regular basis. This is perfect for your home or office! Check out the details below!
Q: How do Fresh BLOOM Subscriptions work?
A: Select the frequency of Delivered BLOOMS you want to receive on the FIRST TUESDAY of each month purchased. We offer THREE, SIX month Subscriptions that run consecutively. If you are worried you won't be home for a delivery - no problem! We can arrange for you to pick up from our studio )let us know by 10am day of delivery ) or pause your months Delivery and resume the following month (We need 1 weeks notice). We will reach out to you after purchase to confirm your order and gather recipients details for delivery!
Q: Can you tell me more about the face behind the business?
A: BLOOM Studio is a small woman owned business and proud of it :) My name is Janelle and I am the Owner + Lead Designer here at BLOOM. I have been in the Wedding Floral Industry since moving to MN back in 2012.
I am originally from Sacramento, Ca where I feel in love with all things floral. The effortless way those CA BLOOMS could be found thriving during the longest droughts + dancing along the busiest of highways so organically. Since moving to MN + growing my own little family with my husband and two boys I have decided to open my own studio space and finally design under my own name after many many years of freelance designing for so many wonderful designers.
This business affords me the ability to create + serve so many wonder clients each year who have bloomed into so many friendships and even some part time employees :) I pride myself on maintaining a lovely work-home life balance which means we don't take on Wedding every weekend so our dates move quickly!
