We started this company after both having intimate destination weddings ourselves. We were both disappointed by the quality of photos we received from our “package” wedding photographers and Emily’s wedding bouquet showed up purple on the wedding day (purple was not one of her wedding colors). On the other hand Melanie didn't even get a choice in flowers and was forced to go with a standard 12 rose bouquet. We both never wanted any other couples to have the same experience as we did. We believe that GREAT photography is important. You only get one chance to do this and we would hate for couples to not be able to have amazing photos to look back on from their wedding day. We also believe in investing in highly talented and experienced florists. Your bridal bouquet should be a reflection of your personality and unique style and we believe you should LOVE your wedding flowers! Our packages have a lot of the elements of a large wedding, just smaller scale. One of the greatest misconceptions about elopement style weddings is that you cannot have fun and share the experience with your loved ones. We want to make sure your elopement or intimate wedding in Tampa Bay is unforgettable and unique!
I started this company after getting married out of the country and having an intimate wedding myself. I was horrified by the quality of photos I received from my “package” wedding photographer and my wedding bouquet showed up purple on the wedding day (purple was not one of my wedding colors).

Your bridal bouquet should be a reflection of your personality and unique style and I believe you should LOVE your wedding flowers! Our packages have a lot of the elements of a large wedding, just smaller scale. A lot of our couples are opting for an over-the-top honeymoon and/or saving to buy a house versus an extravagant wedding.
We are happy you found us! After we receive your initial inquiry we will collect some basic information from you in order to give you an accurate proposal. Our prices are not listed because all of our quotes are based on a few factors such as date, guest count, and location. After we get this information from you we will send you a proposal via email within 24 hours, we know how excited you are! After we send a proposal we are happy to answer any questions you may have. If you would like to chat on the phone we can schedule a call or Skype meeting.
Okay so you are ready to move forward, now what? All of our contracts are sent online and are digitally signed. After the contract is sent we will follow that up with an invoice for the retainer to hold your date, keep in mind our contracts are only valid with a retainer in place.
After booking we will send you a welcome packet, this is going to have a ton of information on how to book vendors that are not included in your package as well as personal reception and dinner recommendations to help you get started with your post elopement celebration if you choose to have one. We will also provide information on how you can obtain your marriage license.
We will now reach out to the location of choice and obtain the permits and venue confirmations for your wedding ceremony. Once we get this we will send you over a timeline for the ceremony portion of the day so you can begin to book your transportation, hair and makeup, and dinner plans. We will also hire your vendor team! There is no need for you to reach out to any vendors that are included in your package, that’s our job!
We are so happy you chose to have an intimate ceremony with us. One of the best things about going this route is you can sit back, relax and let us do the leg work. During the days leading up to your wedding day we will send you questionnaires to get your preferences regarding your ceremony, florals, cake and so much more. If you have questions on logistics, etiquette, or anything else we are there to answer them along the way! Please allow 48 hours for a response.
The BIG day has come! During the week leading up to the wedding ceremony we will send you a final details email with directions to the ceremony location for your guests and information on your vendors. Our team will be on site at the ceremony location to greet you and your guests; to make sure everyone is on location, on time and is comfortable. The vendor team will be there as well, ready and eager to get started with you. Someone from our team will be there with you from the time you arrive until you depart to make sure the day goes off without a hitch!
