Quotation, Deposits and Payment

 

• A quotation for the cost of your wedding flowers will be sent to you after the initial consultation.

• Quotes are valid for 30 days.

• We cannot hold dates or provide tentative bookings. To confirm your quote and secure your date, we require an initial non-refundable £300 payment and approval of these terms + conditions.  

• This initial payment will be deducted from the total owing.

• If, for any reason you decide to postpone your wedding we will hold your deposit until your wedding goes ahead.

• The remainder of your wedding flower cost is payable 1 month prior to your wedding date.

• Payment is accepted by direct payment via internet banking.

• Freesia & Fox reserves the right to cancel any wedding flowers, if payment is not made by this date. We are not obliged to offer any compensation for inconvenience caused.

• No flowers will be ordered if the final payment has not been made 2 weeks prior to the wedding date and the order will be cancelled.

• Prices quoted will take into consideration a premium for weddings occurring over Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day weekend, Christmas and New Year and any public / bank holiday.

• No reduction in total cost of the flower order can be accepted after your final payment has been received. As we will be unlikely to take a booking of value so close to an event date and may have turned work away due to the original intended workload.

 

 

Cancellations

 

● If the client decides to cancel this agreement, it must be done in writing to orders@freesiaandfox.com at least 30 days before the event. 

● Events cancelled within 30 days of the event date remain payable in full, regardless of the circumstance. 

● If you cancel your event and provide more than 30 days notice, the initial deposit payment made remains non-refundable. 

● We reserve the right to cancel the contract at any time. In this instance, you are entitled to a full refund (including the initial £300 deposit).

 

Rescheduled & Relocated Events 

● The client must advise of any change to the event venue or event date in writing to orders@freesiaandfox.com. 

● We will do our best to accommodate new dates or location changes however we cannot guarantee our availability. 

● If we are unavailable on your new event date, or are unable to accommodate your change of venue, the initial £300 deposit made remains non-refundable. 

● If we are available on your new event date, or able to accommodate your venue change, the initial payment made will be transferred to the new date. A new contract and quote will be drawn up taking into account the changed circumstances. (For instance, wholesale product prices fluctuate through the season, delivery and hourly wages vary depending on venue set-up requirements.) 

 

 Hired props and vases

 

• The hire of vases/props is included in the price of the quote and is not charged separately.

• Charges will be made for any items returned cracked, chipped or broken. Replacement of goods is charged at the current purchase price, it is then the responsibility of the hirer to reclaim any of these costs from the venue if the venue was at fault.

• Please advise your guests that all hired items must not be removed from the venue, otherwise you will be charged the full cost of replacement of each item not returned to us. 

 

 

Consultations

 

• Once your wedding date is booked with me I am available for contact by phone and email at any stage to answer any questions and queries you may have.

• I order your wedding flowers approximately ten to fourteen days before your wedding date, depending on the type of flowers chosen.

• You will not be allowed to make any significant changes after this order has been placed without additional fees.

Price Variations 

● We reserve the right to amend or change the pricing outlined in the quote in the event of cost changes beyond our control (e.g. worldwide events affecting wholesale flower prices). 

● We will make every effort to honour the original agreed price, however the current volatile nature of shipping (national/international) dramatically affects wholesale flower prices. 

● Any price increases will be formally advised to you in writing and a recommendation provided to the client at least 14 days prior to your event date. 

Product Substitution & Availability 

● All flowers and foliages are subject to seasonal quality and availability. 

● Unfortunately we cannot guarantee availability, exact colours or shades of specific product. When working with Mother Nature, there are no guarantees. Unseasonably warm, wet or cool seasons have a dramatic impact on flower and foliage availability. 

● Regardless of the availability of specific products, we will always adhere to the agreed colour palette and style of floral design, as outlined in our quote.

● We reserve the right to substitute all products to ensure the highest quality ingredients are used. If needed, a final consultation can be arranged to discuss alternative options.

● Containers and vases may change due to supplier issues, we will substitute the selected product with items of greater or equal value, in line with the overall look and feel for the event. 

● Refunds will not be given for minor changes in flower type or appearance.
