Frequently Asked Questions

How long has Farmstead Flower Co. been in business?

We broke ground on our little flower farm in Oregon in 2020. We’ve since moved back to our roots in Northern California. We’ve been creating beautiful arrangements in the floral industry since 2014, in between raising two wild little boys, of course.

Are you open to the public?

We are happy to say that we are a home based design studio & boutique flower farm. This means that we’re able to focus on our clients & our heirloom blooms, while minimizing the distractions that naturally come along with a brick and mortar shop. Our farm & studio is open by appointment only to chat with our prospective clients. We believe that living a balanced life and spending time with family and friends is an immeasurable gift. We’ve aligned our business to reflect these values.

May I provide my own flowers?

We take great pride in our designs, flower sourcing, & time spent bringing your vision to life. Your special day is our top priority and in order to provide you with an exceptional experience, we ask that you kindly leave all the flowers up to us. I was a DIY bride myself (many moons ago) and if I could go back and change anything, it would be to not have worried about a single flower on my wedding day!

When is my balance due?

Upon booking we require a $250 retainer to hold and secure your event date. The deposit is non-refundable and will be applied towards your final balance. The remaining balance is due no later than 30 days prior to your event. We accept Check, Cash and now Venmo (*subject to a 1.9% transaction fee).

Do you have minimums?

Our minimum pricing for booking any event is $600. Due to the unique nature of our design studio, we do not readily stock fresh flowers. As not all of your event flowers will likely come from our small farm, we source & special order event flowers to fill in when needed. We have to meet our own minimums with wholesalers along with shipping & packaging fees.

Can you recreate designs based on pictures provided?

We will never copy someone else’s work, but can absolutely use images to pull concepts and inspiration to curate your unique design. Pinterest is an amazing resource, but keep in mind the many variables that go into those swoon-worthy images. Budget, lighting, and a photographer’s shooting style play a huge role in the look and feel of the photographs you see. While pictures are an important piece to the puzzle, understand that colors vary wildly in nature, and floral design is interpreted differently from florist to florist. We hope that you’ll trust us to work closely with you to ensure we stay within budget while maintaining your overall vision for your event!

I have a favorite flower, are we able to incorporate it?

Please do tell us all about your favorite flower(s)! It’s what gives meaning and heart to your designs. Although we cannot guarantee your selections will be in season or readily available at the time of your event because, well, Mother Nature… we will always offer a substitute we feel has a similar look and vibe should your favorite flower be out of season.

I have my own vases, can we use them for my event?

We have many wonderful sources for containers to coordinate with your event. If your heart is set on using your own vases please do let us know. We are always happy to work with our clients. Please keep in mind that if you choose to provide your own vessels, we will need to see them in person to confirm that they are the appropriate size, shape, height, color, and quantity. We also require that you test for watertightness, sanitize, & remove any stickers or labels prior to drop off. You will be required to sign a vase agreement. We are not responsible for any damages or replacements.

How do I book a consultation?

We ask that you first fill out our inquiry form, then we can determine if we are available for your date. From there we are happy to chat with you over the phone, via email, or schedule a time to meet in person; whatever tickles your fancy!
