Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a florals partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Ẁe are from out of town and we were here for my mother's burial. I spoke with Paula, not knowing what i really wanted, she said leave it to me, I'll make something nice for you. I agreed and Paula did an amazing job with the little info I gave her. The flowers were just beautiful!

I have family in the area and regularly send flowers to my grandma using Cole's. While I only get to see the flowers in pictures, I'm glad I can depend on them to deliver quality flowers at a decent price. Today is my grandma's birthday and I had to look up the phone number so that I can order when they open.

We live in California and our daughter is a student at Middlebury College. It is her birthday today and I was able to send her beautiful flowers, a card and a birthday balloon. My daughter was so happy! Thank you so much for your wonderful services!

My mother-in-law recently passed. The company I work for sent me sympathy flowers and a beautiful thoughtful card. They always use Coles flowers and I can see why, the bouquet was stunning! I highly, highly recommend Paula's work.
