Time stands still. Colour, design, texture, scent and season, the flowers for your event say so much about you, your celebration, your personal style, and so much more....
Event and wedding flowers help set the mood, and tone for the day. They are all about creating a WOW factor for you and your guests. Our design philosophy covers the spectrum from simple and elegant to whimsical or modern and edgy. We offer an initial consultation guiding you through the most important aspects of planning your floral decor.
Our initial consultations are by telephone and email and once a design concept has been discussed and approved our follow up appointments will be on site at your venue.
Prior to contacting us please consider what type of theme and feel you wish to evoke on this special day. We ask you have prepared the following items to forward to us :
Your floral
budget - Our policy is to work within a client's budget. This allows
us to select appropriate floral options for your event. We will not
propose a budget for your event. Please ensure before contacting us you
have decided on the overall budget. This would include delivery and
setup costs as well.
Flower selection, style and the scope of the
event pieces are
dictated by your budget. This is an item we can't stress enough must be

At The Chocolate Tulip, we understand that your journey to your event is just as important as having an event that fulfills your vision and dreams. With that in mind the process begins by telling us your vision of your day, discussing your exact requirements in detail, get a sense of your needs, style and your budget to form a creative brief. A brief will be emailed to you outlining the flower selection and this will allow you to review your brief and consider your options in selection, pieces and style.
The next step in the process would be based on your selections. A detailed proposal outlining price points, selection and pieces will be prepared for you. Due to the time that is required by both us and our suppliers to prepare a detailed price quote, there is a charge for this service. Should you select THE CHOCOLATE TULIP as your event florist this amount will serve as a credit towards your order. (Proposals are effective for one month after the consultation date. After one month the proposal is void any deposits placed to hold a date are non-refundable) Pricing is custom created depending on each individual event; location, theme, materials, color scheme and budget are details that are considered. The flowers for your event are specifically selected and custom designed to reflect your style and personality.
We understand that you might need general idea about our pricing. If you have an overall budget established for your event, you should plan on spending about 15%-20% on your flowers. In order to give each event our full attention we book minimal events per week and our calendar fills quickly. For this reason, we request a 50% non-refundable deposit to book your date.
All dates are reserved on a first come first booked basis. Three weeks prior to your wedding we will go over the details and logistics of your event and also to make any adjustments to your order. We hope this answers some of your basic questions regarding our design services.
Initial consults will be done by email and phone. The finalization of details will be done by appointment at your venue if needed. As we believe in full transparency please be advised once an event has been booked and a deposit received, the flowers and supplies will have been booked with our suppliers and as per their policies we are committed to their purchase, therefore if the event is cancelled for the date it was booked the full outstanding balance will be due. Please consider carefully the scope of your event needs. Please feel free to email us any questions you may have.
