Frequently Asked Questions

Natalie got her start in the hospitality industry when she attended the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. She worked fine dining, catering, and luxury events and eventually began working in event management. After many years doing event management, she realized she could combine her creative nature with her hospitality experience and thus, Natalie Blooms was born. 

Natalie has been in the event and hospitality industry for over 15 years. Natalie Blooms was found in 2017. 

We provide event styling services with an expertise in floral design. This includes everything from event design to custom build outs. We have departments for floral design, event management and custom fabrication.

Different arrangements serve different purposes- an everyday arrangement should last up to two weeks with proper care. Wedding flowers are selected at their peak of beauty. Peak beauty means that if we used the bloom the day before or the day after it may not be as beautiful or as fully bloomed for your wedding photos. This means that the flowers may begin to wilt after the wedding day. We can recommend several wedding flower preservation companies if you’d like to make your flowers last forever. 

Our process begins with a consultation to get to know one another first. We will take as many references, photos, and ideas from this consultation as we can in order to begin creating your design. After the consultation we will present you with a proposal of all the items we discussed at your consultation. We will then begin to work with you to create the perfect design for your event. This will include professionally designed color palettes, mood boards, sketches, and mock ups as needed. We begin designing the event florals about a week ahead of the event in order to maintain freshness. Every single event is completely one-of-a-kind. 

This is no problem at all! Between our principle and lead designers, we will guide you through every step of the process. The consultation call is meant to collect details, create visions, compile inspiration, customize specifics and begin a plan of action for your big day! 

No, Natalie Blooms offers event styling and services for weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, set design, engagement parties, etc. There is no special occasion that we won’t do! 

We are a full design studio- therefore we do not attach our name to events and projects when there are floral elements that are not designed by our company.  We are not a wholesaler and we do not have the ordering capacity to purchase bulk flowers. 

We'd love to explain to you why we implement this non-refundable fee. Natalie Blooms has over 15 years of event planning experience and knowledge. Our schedule gets booked quickly and when clients no-show or are just price-shopping for events it takes time away from our current booked couples. Natalie Blooms also has a vast network of vendor referrals. During your consult she will share ideas and recommendations and even DIY advice with you that pertain to your specific event. Over the years, we have realized how valuable this information is. After consult, we have a 95% booking rate.
