To get started on your wedding inquiry, please fill out the questionnaire below. If the Blooms team is available for your wedding date, we’ll move forward with scheduling a consultation. If not, we’ll forward to you a list of other Madison-area florists we highly recommend!
Although our favorite way to meet you is at our shop, face to face, we recommend all consultations take place via Google Meet, phone call, or e-mail until further notice.
Before your consultation, we recommend you create a Pinterest board to share with our team. Then, in the consultation, we’ll discuss colors, photos, wedding style, & a list of floral needs/wants. We’ll also discuss each floral item in detail. Here are a list of topics you can expect to cover:
- Nearlyweds’ Flowers: bouquet, toss bouquet, hair flowers, boutonnières
- Wedding Party Flowers: bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, flower crowns, loose petals
- Rehearsal Dinner Flowers: arrangements, boutonnières, corsages, loose flowers
- Ceremony Decorations: aisle flowers, arches, accent arrangements, traditional & religious decorations, on-site design, rentals
- Reception Flowers: cocktail tables, guest tables, head table, card/gift/guest book table, reusable arrangements from the ceremony, rental options, on-site design, loose greens, cake flowers
Afterward, Blooms will send a proposal for your event with pricing & floral suggestions. If we didn’t get it perfect the first time around, we are happy to re-work your ideas & budget.
As soon as you confirm your interest, the date is immediately held! Our wedding retainer totals 25% of your estimated floral budget, and the balance will be due one month prior to the wedding. Edits can be made up to one month prior to your event. At Blooms, we’re dedicated to accommodating changes to the best of our ability. Therefore, we’ll meet with you for future consultations as needed at no additional cost.

Every wedding season can be a little different, but prime wedding weekends are usually late May through October.

If you love our work, we can book your date with a deposit & work on details when your schedule allows.

Send us a picture of your inspiration bouquet, and we can let you know what will be available. While certain flowers may not be available on your wedding date, we can suggest flowers that will give you a similar texture or color!
