We would like to thank our brides and the readers of The Brides Book for voting us the #1 Wedding Florist in the Triad Area in 2009.

2009 photos,

We've added about 24 new 2009 photos on our site but instead of giving them their own pages I've placed them in the sections they belong, centerpieces in the centerpiece, bouquets on their section etc. Also we will adding newer weddings and events to our new BLOG rather than constantly adding to an already pretty extensive photo collection on this site. With one exception, we've added a new section that my be the way we post some event photos. It's our "Events by Venue" section. We think you'll find this all more entertaining and more informative.

Common misconception #1. We see it in magazines and hear it from our clients all the time. Are flowers cheaper "in season". The truth is, there are only three sources for flowers for most florist.

1. Imported, mostly from South America, but flowers can come from all over the globe. When it's winter here, it's summer there. The point is, almost ANY flower is "in season" somewhere.

2. Domestic, grown inside the USA and although they may not have to ship as far the higher cost of production does NOT make them any cheaper.

Both cost about the same for all practical purposes, until you get into some of the more unique flowers and depending on demand they can be very pricey.

(Hint), if you have seen a new variety of flower featured in a recent national wedding magazine, the price can be ridicules.

3. Local, it's a great idea but there aren't any real professional growers in Winston Salem and although you can get some local flowers from small growers, the short time frame (growing season) any variety is available along with the variables of the weather means you can't depend on them for any certain date. Besides local growers watch the market price and usually want about the same for their flowers.

The bottom line is the "in season" tag is just NOT a price tag. If cost is your reason for wanting "in season" you would be better off making a shift from thinking "in season" to thinking low demand times. Stay away from Holidays and the popular months for weddings.

If you want local in season flowers because your concerned about the environment we can help with that too, and at that point "in season" does mean something. They may or may not be less expensive and the selection would be greatly limited but it is something we can help you with.

May, June, July, filling up fast.

If you think you may like for us to design your wedding flowers please book as soon as you've set the date and location.

We can only book so many events and we won't book more than we can give all necessary attention to.

At least a brief consultation will be necessary for which you will need to schedule an appointment. You will need at least an idea of your budget before the consultation. On average the floral portion of a wedding is 10% to 15% of your total wedding expendature. There is no charge for the consultation, however if you do want to book us we require a $500.00 deposit to hold your date. The deposit is not refundable should you cancel, it is however applied to the cost of your wedding.

Until we receive a deposit, we can't hold a date, and please remember popular dates do fill quickly.

Contact Information

Floral Visions is a working studio, not a typical florist Our work studio is at our home. Because of the demands of the profession it just made sense to us.

Wedding and event planning is by appointment only. Please call (336-793-2363) and we will try our best to accommodate your time needs.

Saturdays are most always devoted strictly to our weddings. If you need something on a Saturday, please call earlier in the week so we can make arrangements.

On another note, one that many florist are concerned about and that is being socially responsible. Even the term 'socially' only responds to the human interest of an issue. Our business does require the use of a lot of our resources and usually that is ultimately for only one day.

My point is two sided, one, that you/we take a minute to really appreciate what it takes to create our/your "one" day. Things like, your flowers could have been flown in from three different continents, and they, if properly handled have been individually handled and inspected, taken from crowded boxes processed with loving hands to fulfill their whole purpose in life, to shine for your big day. Some people value flowers by how long they last, we, on the other hand strive to see that each blossom is at it peak for your moment and although the flowers themselves may only be here for a short while, they will remain beautiful in your wedding pictures for many years to come.

Know that we are doing our part to make as little impact on the environment as possible. We don't just throw all our waste in the dumpster to be put in the landfill. We take our cardboard to be recycled. We buy local flowers when possible. We save all aluminum drink cans for recycling. Our green waste is even recycled into mulch to be used in landscaping instead of going to the landfill. We switch to florescent lights when possible. The point is we are doing all we can to help keep our planet Green.
