A: Floral cost can vary depending on your needs and preferences. In Iowa, couples generally spend an average of 15%-20% of their total
wedding budget on florals. We typically see clients spend $6,000-$12,000, depending on the size of the wedding. Our minimum is $6,000
for florals.

A. This varies depending on the design decided for the ceremony. If repurposing is a priority for you make sure to tell your florist this
during your consultation call. They will be able to offer suggestions for ceremony arrangements that will work well for repurposing.
-
A: All fees will be included in your initial proposal, including credit card fees. The set up and delivery fees are based on a percentage of the
event subtotal; therefore, those fees may increase depending on if there are any upgrades added. With larger floral and decor orders, more
staff will be needed to successfully set up your event.

A. All vases are provided by Honey & Joy. Depending on which service you go with, we will return to get all vases at the end of the night.
Otherwise, we ask that you return vases back to us the following Monday after your wedding day by 3:00 PM.

A. Honey & Joy Florals operates with exclusivity. Meaning, in order to protect the image and integrity of the work we provide, we are
the sole and exclusive florist for the event. There are some cases where we are able to work with decor that certain venues provide, but
this should be discussed before booking your date. If you plan on ordering fake floral arrangements or having another person provide
florals as well, we may not be the best fit.
