Frequently asked questions.
Events:
What is Sea Holly Studios design style… and what does that mean?
Every floral designer, florist and botanical artist has their own unique design style. This is why finding the right designer for your wedding is so important and ‘price-shopping’ is not recommended. Before reaching out to designers, think about what is important to you regarding your event florals, what aesthetic you’d like to portray and what style of floral design makes you happy. The design style for Sea Holly Studio tends to be nature focused and whimsical. At Sea Holly, we have a modern and contemporary take on seasonal and local blooms. We love color, movement and wild ideas. The ‘Portfolio’ page is a great place to get some visuals of the Sea Holly Studio design style. If you’re more drawn to well manicured lawns and hydrangea-filled weddings, we might not be your perfect match but we’d be happy to steer you to a local florist that is!
How far in advance should I book my wedding?
The earlier, the better! Peak event season (May-June & Sept.-Oct.) tend to book up quickly. Most weddings book about a year out.
Who will be working on my event?
I am is hands-on with all events. While Sea Holly does have a small team and talented freelancers helping along, I will be designing all events. For this reason, I do not overbook event dates.
Do you travel?
Yes! All of the time! Travel fees are dependent on the location of your wedding.
What is your booking process?
It all starts with an inquiry. Reach out via the website contact form. We will respond with a wedding/event portfolio. If you feel Sea Holly Studio is a good fit, we will schedule a phone consult to go over details. From there, you will receive a general quote and mini style board. After that comes a formal invoice/contract. 50% of the total balance is due at signing, with the remaining balance due 1 month prior to your event date. Contract/deposit will secure your wedding date. Once your date is is secure, you will receive a full, custom style package.

Can I pick out the types of flowers you use?
When planning your wedding flowers, please keep in mind that Sea Holly Studio designs based on the client’s color palette, not flower varieties. This is for a few reasons… it gives me the freedom to source the absolute best blooms available at the time of your wedding. It also helps me to design to the best of my abilities, without the restriction of specific flower varieties.
