FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Details You Need To Know
Your planning for one of the most special days of your life, of course you’ll have questions.
WE’VE COMPILED SOME OF THE MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS we’ve been asked over the years and some details that we think would be helpful through your wedding planning journey.
-
Absolutely! Our very first meeting is complimentary and this is because we know how important it is to create that connection. We usually would invite you to meet us at a cafe in the CBD or you can also visit us at our studio. We’ll chat about your wedding or event over coffee or tea.
To book in a complimentary consultation, you can contact us through our contact page here.
-
Wedding dates usually book out as early as 12 - 24 months prior, so we tend to prioritise those who have sent through their deposits to lock in their dates. If you have chatted to us before, we try our best to inform you that there are other prospects looking into the same date. The best way to lock us in for your date is to pay the 50% deposit. The remaining balance will then be due 4 weeks before your wedding.
-
We know how overwhelming weddings can be so we try to make the process as simple and straightforward as possible for you and your partner . Once you accept the quote and pay the 50% deposit for our services, we will book in another consultation with you to go through everything about your wedding. Our team will start brainstorming and the first draft of your lookbook will be sent to you in 2-3weeks time for approval. The lookbook will be your wedding team’s guide to everything involved in styling your big day. This may or may not include a full budget breakdown (depending on which package you chose) and a list of vendors for each category.
Booking of vendors is something that we offer especially if you would like us to take the hard work off your hands. This usually takes the most time when planning a wedding and involves a lot of back and forth through phone calls and emails. Do let us know if this is something you would like us to assist you with.
We also love it if we can attend a venue visit with you so we can go through all the details around the venue and also to be able to introduce ourselves to your venue coordinator. This can be done during the initial consultation or on a later meeting with the team.
At around 2 months before the big day, we will schedule another face to face meeting to touch base and go through the final plan including your wedding run sheet and styling run sheet. The lookbook is usually finalised around this time and will already be sent through to all vendors involved. This ensures that everyone is on the same page in terms of the look and feel that we are creating for you..
Lastly, our team will touch base with your venue and all styling vendors again two weeks prior to your wedding day to confirm all final details including bump in and bump out. And that’s it we will see you on the day!
-
Definitely! We love being there to make sure the styling is seamless and see everything come to life but we also make sure that you shouldn't be worrying about the after party clean up.
We would usually ask for a contact person (can be a family member or one of the bridal party) so we can hand all keepsakes to them after the event. This can include bridal bouquets, gifts, left over favours, etc.
For safety purposes, we ask that the same contact person be the one to gather all the cards and envelopes from the wishing well.
-
Travel is included for weddings within Melbourne unless mentioned otherwise (for multiple day bump ins, etc.)
We generally do not require accomodation for any weddings within Melbourne unless for multi day celebrations. This is something that we would discuss with you prior to quoting.
A travel quote is quoted separately for destination weddings and this will be on top of our service packages. We will be handling all our travel requirements unless otherwise specified.
-
Believe us when we say we would love to give you an amount straight away to let you know what and what not to expect. But as we all know, every wedding is unique and that goes for the costs as well. We would normally suggest a budget after our first consultation because that gives us a better idea of what you want and what we will be working with.
-
A wedding team can consist of the minimum of 5 vendors to a maximum of more than 10 and we love getting to know everyone involved. We liaise with vendors who contributes to the style and look of your day. They are usually the florists, stationery designer, furniture hire companies, linen hire, calligraphers and favour companies. On top of this, we liaise with your venue of choice to confirm bump in and bump out times.
-
That's no problem at all. Some couples love being hands-on with wedding planning but to ensure that you wouldn't have to worry them on the day, we require that all items (e.g. favours, place cards, guestbook) be delivered to our studio at least two weeks before the event. Any pick up will be an extra $50 unless discussed otherwise.
-
Every event set up can be different depending on what elements are involved. We would usually allot around 4-6 hours on average to make sure we have ample time for deliveries to arrive and installations to go up whilst making sure that all safety procedures are in place. Our team works closely with your venue and vendors to make sure that everything is in place before you and your guests arrive so you can enjoy getting married and spending time with your guests. Part of all our packages is to create a styling run sheet which is shared with the venue and amongst all vendors 2 weeks before the event so every one is on the same page.
-
It varies on every event. We usually stay until the first hour of the cocktail to make sure that there are no other details that needs to be moved (i.e. from ceremony to reception) and that all elements are in their final place.
We would only stay through the whole event if you acquire our planning package which means we will be with you until your reception concludes. This also means we would require supplier meals to be provided. We would usually eat together with other vendors/suppliers like photographer, DJ or the band.
