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!

Cubed roses

So I got creative and thought it would be fun to play with small cubes and roses. This would be a really cute centerpiece. You could put it in a cluster on a mirror with tea lights. You could do multiple stacked levels. With more than one grouping. Honestly the options are endless! Hope you think they are as cute as I do!!! :)

So I am so excited to blog my new web page!!! I finally found a site that could help me create a web page for super duper cheap! And my web page matches all my other advertising stuff so that is pretty fun. Well I am hoping and praying that at the beginning of the year I will have all my business cards in and a display at a local jeweler set up. I am talking with my fiance about doing a wedding show in April or September. We are trying to decide which one will cause us the least amount of stress...hahahaha its a wedding show of course there will be stress!!! I am hoping that I will be able to start designing again soon in Utah. I miss doing weddings so much there are times I get pretty mopey because of it. Hope you enjoy the web page. It's still a work in progress though so check it once in a while.

ENJOY!!!

Here is the last wedding Dayley Floral did before the big move!!! One of our girls mom was getting remarried so we did a bouquet & centerpieces for her. The red linens where also from our new wedding planning section that we are expanding. The bouquet turned out very very nice!!! The red roses, red calla lilies, and black leaves. Very dramatic!!!

Salt Lake City...Roommate

So I got to the flowers for one of my old roommates Tammi. She got married in December and I got to help her choose flowers while I was in Washington on vacation so that was fun! hahaha but we had fun and got things all taken care of. Her colors where purple and creams with some green. We used hydrangea, stock, roses, and lisianthus.

Shawver wedding 2007

Here is the Shawver Wedding. Jessica lives near me and married my second cousin. She chose some nice fall colors yellow and orange. She liked lilies and curly willow so we had a lot of fun designing her centerpieces and buffet pieces.

PHILLIPS WEDDING

In August 2007 we got to do a really fun wedding with lots of cool accents. Andrea wanted the hot pinks and hot orange for her colors but she loved stephanotis. So we used all hot pink and orange roses with orange orchids and added stephanotis with colored jewels in them. Her bouquet turned out soooo awesome! I loved it!!! And we added curly willow throughout her line flowers and her cake.

SIMPER/CALZADA WEDDING

So my good friends Cain and Libbie got married last year in Sept. They let me do the flowers for their wedding. Libbie chose blue, black, and white. They were super fun colors to use because we got blue hydrangea in and white orchids with fun black cubes for the centerpieces. I have to figure out how to scan the centerpieces so those pictures will come later. But here is her bouquet. it was really fun to do it is blue hydrangea with white orchids. We used curly willow and dendrobium orchids to go around the bouquet. Pretty cool....

Cousins Wedding... LEWISTON UTAH

So my cousin got married in December and then waited for January to have a reception. The bride bouquet for the ceremony was a christmas theme red, green, white, and gold. It was so pretty. Then for the reception we did pink and white! Here are the pictures of the pink and white bouquet, centerpieces, and bouts. I will post the christmas bouquet soon!

More Richardson

Here are centerpieces and backdrop pictures!!!

Richardson Wedding

So here are pictures of the Richardson Wedding, Feb 2008. Jesse was our first wedding we did the full decorations for! She was great to work with and chose really fun colors. Her colors where orange, brown, and some burnt red. We used twigs and pheasant feathers throughout all her decor which was awesome! There are a lot of pictures ranging from her bouquet to centerpieces. So hope you enjoy! The flowers we used where roses, orchids, calla lilies, and curly willow. Check out her cool bouts...they are curly willow circles!!!

Red Weddings

Here are some pictures of a couple red weddings we did. One is a tropical wedding with white callas and red anthirium. There is a bouquet and sign in arrangment.

The other bouquet is a fall wedding with reds and creams. The collar around the bouquet is made of curly willow and pepper berry. That bouquet was really unique and fun!

Acor Wedding

So in August we did a wedding for the Acor Family. Shayna and Shayla (names are soooo close together! :)) really did their research before coming in. They new what bouquet they wanted and we went from there. We did their back drop, linens, and line flowers. The colors were very rich in the deep reds and oranges with brown accents. I must say they are some of my favorite colors. They got many compliments about how their reception looked like it was out of the magazines. I will give you a secret....its the linens!!! :) They really add a nice rich feel to an event.

Watt/Dayley June 2008

So I decided to add my newer weddings first...then here and there you will get the older ones. I just wanted to put up my cousins wedding Colby and Amanda where awesome and I loved doing their wedding. They were married at the Rose River Reception Center and the colors where purples, creams, and brown. The flowers and tuxedos turned out great! I couldn't have been happier.
