Hello!
Here's a little insight if you're considering dried wedding flowers for your big day.
DID YOU KNOW that dried and preserved flowers last for YEARS so not only will you be able to enjoy your flowers on the day but you can also enjoy them in your home for so much longer and re live those happy memories as you pass them every day. JUST KEEP THEM AWAY FROM MOISTURE & DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
GIFTING They are also perfect for gifting to your bridesmaids as a thank you which means no extra costs but a beautiful everlasting bouquet to use in their own home. Maybe a little personalised clay tag to go alongside it if you wanted to add a little something.
I understand that times are hard, they are hard for us all. Prices have gone up throughout industries and flowers are no different. I try to keep my prices down as much as I can and keep them realistic but please understand that I am also a very small business myself and don't work for free.
PRICE DIFFERENCES between businesses will vary, some grow and preserve their own flowers, maybe are a larger established business etc I work from home and have a small work room with limited storage so I work on a wedding by wedding basis. Preserved roses WILL bump up your quotes but even then compared to what I've heard from so many brides where there flower cost was 1/3 of their entire budget...this will not be the case here at Rustic Touch.
I have had ladies send me pictures of bouquets wider than shoulder width, full of multi coloured preserved roses, oodles of preserved eucalyptus and other dried flowers, some are artificial and I know when I send their quote 9/10 it'll be radio silence. If you can get your bouquets from someone else cheaper, I am happy for you but please rest assured my quotes are for quality bouquets made with love.
SIZE MATTERS. Full dried bouquets are definetely the cheaper option but also don't forget if you are wanting quotes for XL bouquets, there is so much more that goes into them to fill them and so more pieces need to be ordered and the prices will increase.
POSTING FLOWERS if you're not local it's not a problem I do this on a regular basis and will always quote you postage on an insured and next day delivery. The furthest is Northern Ireland that arrived perfectly and other areas around the UK.
MY BOUQUETS ARE FULL! As you can see in the featured picture. This bouquet was only a 10" medium bouquet but just look how full and vibrant it was. For me I can't make sparce bouquets as I feel they look a little straggly so full is what you'll get when you order your flowers with me. If you shop elsewhere check the reviews, most businesses will put the largest bouquet version in their pictures.
There is no competition here, I fully believe we get what is for us and the ones that go elsewhere then they are meant for them, it really is that simple.
I won't under charge just to get bookings, I have so many bookings already for 2024 & 2025 which I can not wait to get started which were meant for me, I have some lovely conversations through our messages with brides I have never met and create a lovely rapor throughout our time right up to and beyond your big day.
FINALLY when it comes to the creating of your bouquets I will always keep you updated as I go. I send pictures regularly for each piece to ensure you are happy with what is being made. This not only ensures your peace of mind but also gets you super excited ha. If you have any questions etc please do send me a message either through here or either of my social media pages.

Thank you for reading.
