Wedding Florals FAQ:

1) Q: What do average wedding flowers cost in Utah?

A: Most couples in Utah spend $3000-$10,000 on wedding flowers. Many people are surprised to learn that but a quick google search will show that it is true. $3000 would be for a very small wedding with more modest flowers and flower varieties with our services.

2 Q: What can I expect to spend when using Beck Farms for my flowers?

A: For an average-sized Utah wedding and reception, our Beck Farms brides typically spend between $4500-$6000 for their florals. Keep in mind we do higher end floral designs and grow our own flowers during our grow season, making them super special and one of a kind.

3) Q: Do you have a minimum order requirement to book?

A: As with most florists, we do have a minimum order of $3000 in order to provide the best florals and service we can for your most important day! This makes it so that booking is worth it to you, the client, for the level of results you’re getting and makes it worth it to us with the cost of our material and labor expenses.

4) Q: Do you set up and take down?

A: Yes! We do all the set up and take down of the florals. We will need access to the venue a minimum of 4 hours before the event start time for set up.

For take down, florals are often times in rented vases from us, and we can change most of them into disposable vessels for you to take home after your event is over if you wish to keep them. Otherwise we are happy to haul it all away for you and take care of it all! Whatever you prefer.

5) Q: How does the booking process work?

A: Great question. Usually I email back and forth with a bride several times narrowing down counts of arrangements, types she prefers, flower varieties, etc. Phone calls or in person meetings when she prefers it, too. When it is all narrowed down, I email her a quote with line items of each thing and totals. Sometimes we do a bit of fine tuning to the quote before getting it to exactly what she’s looking for. Then when it’s all squared away and she’s ready to book our services, we will email her over an invoice for 25% of the total as a nonrefundable deposit, as well as our contract document. This secures her date and our services. Then 30 days prior to the event, the remaining 75% balance is due. That’s it! I allow minor changes up to 60 days prior to the event, since I know some counts of things can change, etc.

6) Q: Do you work with other floral providers?

A: Here’s what this means. Say a bride has an aunt or a friend who has offered to do her bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets for free or a discounted price. But maybe she’s not able to do the rest of the wedding florals for the event and the bride is looking for another florist to do just those certain components. This is when it gets a bit sticky. A lot of florists will not agree to arrangements like this, as their work can get muddled with someone else’s, resulting in… mixed results. That’s like having two dentists split doing a set of veneers, it might look ok, or it might really not, even if they give it their best shot. For that reason I do have a policy that I am the sole floral contractor/provider for my wedding work. A florist’s work is so unique and each arrangement she does is like a signature. We want wedding florals to look as cohesive and aesthetic as possible. Nothing messy or an attempt at blending two styles!

Of note, this is different than freelancing. Florists often times freelance for each other and can have pre-planned, cohesive relationships, aesthetics and styles when they work together.

7) Q: Do you host weddings at your farm?

A: I want to say YES to this so badly! One day I will for sure. If and when we do open for weddings, they will be facilitated in an open pasture or in a pasture with a white event tent, no buildings will be built on the farm to maintain its beautiful, open space. Right now we are transitioning this farm from being a 150 year old real, working farm to one that can facilitate hosting a lot of people. This requires infrastructure like specific roads and driveways, effective fencing for our livestock, usable restrooms and facilities, parking capabilities, and specific irrigation in place. We are working tirelessly to make this a reality, because this farm really is a slice of open, sprawling heaven here in Utah Valley that we want to share with everyone. But this will take some time and is very expensive to get all in place. So as of right now we don’t do weddings here, but please inquire if that’s something you’re looking for in the future. Since things change and get crossed off our to-do list constantly, and there may be a chance at a future date. Let’s chat!

8) Q: Where are you open to doing wedding work?

A: As of right now I am open to all of Utah Valley, Heber Valley, and Salt Lake Valley.
