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 typically buy my flowers from market basket because it's quick, but I wanted to treat my girlfriend to something special. Having never even been inside a florist's before my visit here, I was stunned at how helpful the owner Angela and the entire team are! All I told them was, verbatim, "She likes red" and next thing I know I have the most beautiful bouquet I've ever laid my eyes on. When I got home, it was like I was prince charming! I couldn't ask for a better place to buy flowers from, and I am so thankful to have found this place!

Drinkwater Flowers created the most beautiful floral arrangements for our wedding! Angela and team did a wonderful job bringing our vision to life, spending the time to understand what was important, and were extremely helpful throughout the process. It was a pleasure collaborating with the team and the final products were gorgeous!

Choosing Drinkwater Flowers for my our wedding was the best decision I could’ve made. They make me feel so welcome and special each time I see them or talk to them. They worked with my bouquet vision and created bouquets and boutonnières better than I could’ve imagined. I am also using them to preserve some of my flowers and make an epoxy ring holder. So grateful for everyone at Drinkwater!

I had the best experience working with Angela for our wedding. She listened to all my thoughts and ideas, helped me make decisions when it became overwhelming during the wedding planning process, and also came up with creative new ideas that I loved. She was very professional, communicative, and also just all around a very nice person. I put my trust in her and I was absolutely blown away. Our wedding was everything I dreamed of- the florals brought everything together. She brought my vision to life!

I had a specific vision for a special occasion, and the talented team at Drinkwater (Angela!) took the time to listen and understand my ideas. Angela added her creative touch and knowledge, transforming my concept into arrangements that exceeded my expectations! Not only were the flowers beautiful, but they also lasted much longer than I anticipated which allowed our guests to take the flowers home to continue to enjoy. The attention to detail and and understanding of our shared vision shone through in the centerpieces and bud vases. I can’t recommend Drinkwater enough. I look forward to working with Angela and team on our next event!
