What To Expect
Thank you for considering Lavish Events by Design as your Event Decorator and Floral Designer. We believe that it is important for our potential clients to understand our solution process and what to expect at our initial no-obligation consultation.
Initial Consultation
We are happy to offer complimentary, no-obligation consultation with lead designer and company owner, Elena Rutkevich. This consultation typically lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour.
The goal of this first appointment is to get to know you, understand your preferences and desires, and to explain our pricing structure based on what your needs might be. We will make some initial suggestions based on what your potential theme and colour might be, however, this meeting is not intended to start planning your décor design but rather share with you some of our work and information on our company. The only thing we ask is that you provide a full disclosure of your décor and floral budget. Should you feel we are a good fit, we will have you sign a contract as well as leave a 30% deposit to secure your date.
Once a deposit is received and a contract is signed – we will begin concept development.
Five Months Before
We will contact you to arrange a time for you to come in to have a second meeting about 4 to 5 months before your special day. At this meeting, we will discuss, in detail, your colour palette, the style, linen and your centrepieces.
If you see any photos or ideas that you like, feel free to bring them with you. We are excited to provide input to make your event one of a kind.
Two Months Before
We will contact you to arrange a time for you to come in and see a mock-up of the guest tables and to show you an example of the floral centrepieces if requested. This meeting may be unnecessary if you are not using our linens, floral or décor for the guest tables.
Unfortunately, we are unable to mock-up a backdrop, head table or specialty tables. Mock-ups of bouquets, corsages, altar arrangements or boutonnieres are not available unless otherwise arranged with the florist. At this meeting, we will review your quote, ensure you have a complete understanding of what we’re referring to and that we have a complete understanding of what you want.
One Week Before
We will be in touch with the venues to arrange our set-up and tear-down times. If there is any special information that you require, please inquire. We’re happy to let you know the details of your special day.
