What services do you offer? We specialize in custom wedding and event floral designs. We also provide custom Christmas decorating services and special arrangements for events. We request 48 hours of advanced notice on all custom orders–we do not do daily deliveries. 

How many events do you take on? To ensure that our customers receive the full attention you deserve for your event, each client is assigned one design team to focus on your event only.

When should I book floral services? First, as soon as you have chosen your venue and secured your date, we can schedule a phone consultation to get started! Second, only to the wedding dress, flowers are one of the essential elements of your wedding. Therefore, we recommend you immediately secure your date on our busy calendar, usually 6-12 months before your event.

Do you offer packages? Our work is customized to each client; no cookie cutter packages are available.

What is a realistic average floral budget? We believe that no wedding should be average, and we also don’t think you should go into debt to have a great wedding. However, most people spend 10-20% of their budget on flowers. This may be more or less depending on your specific needs. We work with each client to create a unique proposal that fits their budget, whether $3,500, $10,000, or even $30,000.

Where do consultations take place? Our initial consultation is conducted over the telephone or video conference. Once you decide to work with us, we can meet in person in our studio and/or on-site at your venue, depending upon the scope of your event design.

When can I schedule a consultation? When you submit the contact form from our website, you will receive an email to set up a call asap. We’ll talk for up to 30 minutes to discuss the important details of your event. 

Once we’re booked, what do I bring to our in-person consultation? We love to see what inspires you! So, for example, we may ask you to bring photos, unique keepsakes, a sample of your invitations, swatches of the bridesmaids’ dresses, etc.

When can I expect a detailed proposal? Once you have reviewed the initial proposal and we’ve received your contract and deposit, a more detailed proposal and/or style guide will be created as we move through the planning process.

If you need additional design consulting and planning advice, we’re happy to help with this, from floor plans to linen selection to the overall scope of your event.

I know wedding flowers can be expensive; what goes into the designs? Your wedding flowers will be an intricate part of your wedding and an essential accent to your photos. Photos are the most treasured mementos years after the wedding, and your flowers work to enhance the memorable images of your big day.

Several factors are calculated into the costs of your custom designs, including flowers being a perishable product, sourcing from a trusted and reliable grower, and additional labor in processing, caring for, shipping, and storing flowers. In addition, the skills required to produce and install beautiful events are also calculated into the cost. 

How long have you been in business? I have been in business since 2004 when I opened a home floral business. Then, my husband, Dale, and I purchased Elizabethtown Florist in 2013, and Posh Posy was born from there as our wedding and events company. In 2020, we closed Elizabethtown Florist and moved Posh Posy to Meadow Summit Commercial Park in Ocean Isle Beach, NC.

Who is the ideal client that you work best with? Our ideal clients value the unity of marriage and family relationships. They appreciate creativity and experiences with those they love. They enjoy opening their home to entertain. They don’t mind the effort it takes to host a party. They are invigorated by being social. They get emotional over romantic things.  They are passionate about fashion and making a first impression. They are productive in life. They work and play hard! They believe that every adventure and opportunity should be a maximal affair.
