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.

I couldn’t say enough about how beautiful my flowers were for our wedding! Working with Marlene was a pleasure. She worked with me to stay within my budget, and I asked for a burgundy dahlia to be our main flower. I wanted loose and flowing bouquets, and was flexible about the rest. The flowers turned out so gorgeous! I couldn't have been happier! I highly recommend Derby Farm Flowers for your wedding and all floral needs.

We worked with Marlene and her team for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. Marlene took the time to truly understand what we wanted and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

Derby did a fantastic job with our flowers for our wedding at Moraine Farm. My coworker got married at the same venue and they used Derby and recommended them. Right away, I felt like Marlene really understood what we were going for. I wanted Mad Hatter tea party vibes, with a little bit of a jungle theme added in, but somewhat reeled in enough that it would still please the traditional-leaning parents. I found a bouquet that I liked color wise but it wasn't whimsical enough. I was stunned when I saw the flowers in person -- they were so much prettier than the references we provided! The peony in my bouquet was stunning and the pictures really don't do it justice. We got a lot of compliment...
