New Web Page!!!

So I am excited to announce that I will have a new web page by next weekend! (cross your fingers) This is a great change to the company and I am thrilled its finally happening.

We just finished a bridal show at the South Towne Exp last weekend and it was a total success. I am happy to say we met a lot of brides and our booth was beautiful!

Because of the new site we are making changes to pricing and packages. I have strongly felt that there needed to be changes to these two areas and I have found a comfort level that will be beneficial to both myself and brides. The changes come by a change in the floral design world.

I have decided to emphasize on the design aspect and less on how much the flowers cost. Lets be honest anyone can find out the cost of flowers these days so charging $4 or $5 dollars for a bloom that cost $2 just frustrates people.

So the basic breakdown of my pricing:

1- Cost of the flowers plus 30% -The 30% is my time in actually researching the flowers and product, picking it up, and processing the product.
2- Design Fee- I have been designing for 10 years so I can confidently say how long it takes me to produce designs. I charge $60.00/hour.
3- Shipping- I purchase my flowers from a reliable source at the LA Flower Market. I do this for three reasons: quality, product selection, and cost. I have found that using the flower market cuts out the middle suppliers many people use here locally. Upon request I will use local suppliers and forfeit the shipping fee.
4- Set up/delivery- To insure that all flowers are in pristine condition I deliver to both the ceremony & reception location (if they are different). I provide the service of pinning on corsages and bouts, instructing attendants on how to hold their bouquets, and setting out all reception decor. This cost starts at $40.00/hour per person and increases depending on location.
5- Consultation Fee- When booking with Chic Design Studios you receive 5 FREE hours of consultation time. Any time beyond that is billed at $25.00/hour.

With the new site I am offering FOUR collections that cater to a specific style and theme. :) I am super excited about this option and hope that brides trust in my talent and ability to create stunning arrangements.

I am also changing our min order from $700.00 back to $350.00 to help in these economic times.

If you have any questions on pricing or the new packages please contact at khall@chicdesignstudios.com or call/text at 801-891-8478.

I look forward to hearing from you!
