Frequently Asked Questions

Are you Wedding Planners?

No we are not wedding planners nor do we offer day-of coordinating services. RKD focuses solely on the execution and planning of the flowers and decorations for weddings and events. 


Do I have to know my budget prior to First Consultation?

We do not require that you disclose a budget prior to meeting with Rachael however be advised that our contracts start at $2,500 before sales tax and labor fees. Rachael will happily provide a quote that let's you know what your taste and style costs so that you may decide from there what budget you are comfortable with. 


Do I have to have a date and venue chosen prior to meeting with Rachael?

Yes, in order to best serve you we require a date for the event be predetermined prior to requesting a consultation {please check our availability to accept on your date}.  

We also a venue be predetermined as well as each venue offers something different and ultimately determines the direction of design. 


Do you Travel?

Yes, we will travel the state of FL however please be advised we have higher contract requirements based on certain distances. 


Why do you have contract minimum requirements?

We would love to be able to assist all Brides/Clients who would like to hire our company for full comprehensive design and set up execution however the scale in which we design and create for our clients limits our ability to take multiple weddings on a given day or weekend. Therefore because of our limited ability to accept multiple events we set a higher contract minimum requirement. 


What is your starting contract minimum?

Our current contract minimum requirement starts at $2,500 before sales tax and labor fees. Our minimum requirement increases the further we are asked to travel outside of our immediate area. For instance, for weddings in Orlando or Jacksonville/Ponte Vedra area contracts will start at $4,000. If you have a wedding that is further than 1.5hrs away from Daytona Beach please inquire directly to receive our minimum requirement for your destination. 


Do you do other events besides Weddings?

Absolutely, we can assist with private parties, corporate events or whatever your hearts desire as long as contract minimum requirement of $2,500 is met. 


I really want to hire RKD but cannot meet required minimum, are there any exceptions?

We appreciate each and every client who chooses to trust us for their wedding or event. If you are unable to or desire not to spend our minimum requirement of $2,500 please consider shopping our Floral Luxe Bridal Boutique which offers the same attention to detail for floral design as well as offers a selection of rental items that you may purchase for your wedding/event. The only difference is our RKD does NOT set up your flowers/decor and we do not do specialty installations. We will however deliver all of your flowers and decor items to your venue for yourself, family member or coordinator to set up and breakdown. This allows our clients to still receive the exceptional design services that RKD has been known for the last 12+ years. 


Do you take more than one Wedding/Event in a day?

Yes we do, however we only accept (2) events in a given day or weekend. We do not over promise ourselves thus leaving room for error. RKD is dedicated to exceeding expectations therefore we limit our commitments to two a week/day.


Is Rachael involved with every event?

100% yes, Rachael's hands are on each and every event contracted for full comprehensive event design and execution. Rachael however is not at every single wedding set up or breakdown the day of event however rest assure our team is fully trained and adheres to a strict attention to detail that Rachael has instilled in them when facilitating the installation of our contracted events. Rachael is always accessible to our team in the event she cannot be physically present at an event the day of. 


Are the flowers and vases ours to keep after event?

All flowers are absolutely the clients to keep, RKD does not expect to receive flowers back at the end of the evening. We do however require that ALL rental items come back to RKD at the end of event. Any rental item that goes missing or is damaged/broken during event is to be replaced at the expense of client including the shipping charges and/or minimum purchase requirements by RKD's vendors. 


If you would like your guests to be able to take the flowers home after event please consider purchasing inexpensive vases for your flowers to be transferred into. Our RKD will happily transition your flowers from our vases into yours at the end of the evening upon request. 


What is your Cancellation and/or Postponement Policy?
