Client shall reserve the date of floral services by signing and returning this Agreement along with a non-refundable and non-transferable reservation retainer equal to $500.00 (“Retainer”). No date or floral pieces are reserved until the Agreement is signed and Retainer is received. A second payment of 50% of the remaining balance is due 90 days prior to the wedding or event date. The full balance due for the floral services must be paid by 21 days prior to the wedding or event date. Any invoice not paid in full within 5 days of receipt will be charged a $75.00 late fee and will accrue an additional 1% of the unpaid invoice amount every day thereafter. In the event Client fails to remit payment as specified, the Florist shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement with no further obligation and retain any monies already paid as liquidated damages.
Florist reserves the right to adjust its pricing due to increased prices for the wholesale cost of goods or supplies wholesale flowers, wholesale greenery, vases, twine, etc. Florist will give Notice (as defined in Section 31) to Client of any increase in pricing at least 5 business days before final invoice is sent to Client and the Parties will come to a mutual agreement regarding any floral changes before proceeding. Florist agrees to give Client an inventory list with cost increases, upon Client’s request. Client agrees to pay for all changes in pricing pursuant to this Section. Florist shall not raise its pricing for any other factor other than to account for the increased cost of goods or supplies.
The fees in this Agreement are based on Florist’s current pricing at the time of booking. Floral pricing may be adjusted periodically, and Client will be charged at the prices in effect at the time.
If for any reason Client cancels this Agreement more than 90 days before the wedding or event date, Florist will keep the non-refundable Retainer, but Client will not be responsible for any remainder due. Notification of cancellation must be made in writing by Client and sent via email, pursuant to the Notice provision. Confirmation of receipt of notification email by Florist must be obtained. If Client fails to supply Notice of cancellation as specified before the wedding or event date or cancels within 90 days of the wedding or event date, Client shall be required to pay the full balance due.
In the event Client reschedules the wedding, Client forfeits the Retainer and must book Florist’s services under a new contract and will be subject to Florist’s current pricing at that time. Notification of rescheduling must be made in writing by Client and sent via email, pursuant to the Notice provision. Confirmation of receipt of notification email by Florist must be obtained.

Client will hold Florist harmless if some floral pieces ordered are not to the standard and quality of Florist and end up not being used at the event.

Client may incur additional fees due to changes to their design or logistical plan, restrictions made by venues or other vendors, multiple delivery locations (i.e. hotels, bridal suites, or bakeries), or unexpected/unplanned labor required on site. Florist will send Client an invoice for any additional fees.

Due to the nature of organic materials, Florist will not be held responsible for variations in color or size of flowers.
After 90 days prior to wedding or event date, no major modifications such as changes in colors or overall theme can be made. Any additional changes after this time period may result in additional fees and will be billed to Client before proceeding. All final changes must be made 21 days prior to wedding or event date.

A 8% tear down fee is added to all events that require Florist to pick up all floral and rental pieces at the end of the wedding or event.
