The initial consultation with our floral designer gives the basic information helping us make your wedding just what you envision. The more detail you can provide, the better. Photos are extremely helpful; pictures from magazines showing floral designs you like as well as pictures of your dress, your bridesmaids dresses and the venue are all useful to us for planning.

Let us Help You
Working within Your Budget
Be frank about your budget so we know what to recommend. By taking your budget into consideration from the very beginning, we can give you the best advice on using flowers for maximum effect.
When to Start
Because we can accept only a certain number of weddings on a given day, it is important to contact us well in advance of your big day. Usually at least three months in advance. If your wedding is going to be an exceptionally elaborate event, take place during peak wedding season or fall on a holiday, starting six months to a year ahead is recommended.
Where to Begin
We understand that a budget is a budget and offer may ways to help. We carry a long line of rental items including glassware, mirrors, and candles for reception tables. We also have floral arrangements that can be rented, card boxes and archways. Creativity is key and we encourage brides to bring things in, whether it be a family heirloom or an item found along the away. Our goal is to create the flowers of your dreams, and are always willing to use your vases or containers to make your day one of a kind.
How Much Should I Budget for Wedding Flowers?
The cost of flowers differs depending on any number of factors. If you marry around Valentine's day, expect roses to be at a premium. If you wed in winter, certain flowers will be harder to come by hence more expensive. Obviously, if you have a very large wedding, all costs are proportionally higher. So, what should you expect to spend on your wedding flowers?
About 8% of your overall wedding budget is pretty standard for floral costs. This covers the bride's bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and ceremony and reception flowers. At Ash-Lins Elegant Rose, we know you are spending on many different things for your wedding and we are committed to creating your floral fantasy without breaking the budget.
