During peak wedding season (May – December), floral investments begin at $6,500 for suburban weddings and $15,000 for Chicago weddings.
Minimums vary for off-season weddings, showers, social, and corporate events; please inquire!
Absolutely. Avant Gardenia is able to provide any décor elements needed in order to execute your vision. We believe that any of these options are a worthwhile investment and can be a perfect partner for your floral designs and contribute to an incredible, cohesive overall look. If you wish to explore any, we can discuss it in your initial consultation or anytime during your planning process.
We believe each wedding should be treated as a custom project, and therefore all of our work is individually designed for you according to your style, vision, and budget. Your overall investment will be comprised of the cost of your designs, sales tax, and labor/service fee.
Fill out an inquiry form above to schedule a design consultation where we will discuss your style and vision, look through photos, choose decorative items, and review various design concepts that may fit within your target budget. (This is the fun part!)
Proper staffing is absolutely crucial in the ability to efficiently produce an event and provide the high level of service you deserve on your wedding day.
The labor/service fee is a percentage of the floral subtotal that may vary for each wedding depending on the size and level of installation services required to properly execute it in the allotted amount of time. It encompasses the many hours your designer spends updating your order when needed, and sourcing the perfect flowers and supplies.
It also includes the processing of the flowers when they arrive, the large amount of hours it takes to produce all the floral designs and prep your rental items, as well as your wedding day team dedicated to transporting the flowers to various locations, loading and unloading, successfully executing your floral installations and table styling, performing room flips, and providing breakdown service.
Be sure to check out the photo timeline of our process and more in-depth descriptions that will educate you on what the labor charge includes here.
You decide! Since they are your flowers, you are welcome to take home every single stem at the end of the night (but not our vases!). We understand that this can be cumbersome, so we offer a second option: Avant Gardenia will donate your flowers!
We partner with Forget Me Not, a nonprofit organization founded by local high school students. They create small arrangements using your flowers and donate them to local retirement homes.
Yes! To further enhance your floral designs, you may choose from a variety of chic décor items rented through Avant Gardenia.
Some options include: many decorative candle holders at differing heights; decorative votive candles; a variety of vases and vessels; chuppahs; many ceremony structures, … and, and, and.
Following the event, while you’re basking in wedded bliss, our breakdown crew will return to retrieve your rental items. It’s that easy.
Most likely, but if not, you shouldn’t worry. As a professional floral design company, we are sure to communicate with venue coordinators prior to the event.
We confirm load-in/load-out timelines and procedures, insurance, and any other guidelines specific to each venue.
