How does à la carte wedding flowers work?

With à la carte wedding flowers you can personally curate your desired wedding flowers by selecting pre-designed flower arrangements and tailoring them to your needs.

I have set up my à la carte wedding flowers in the form of an online shop so that you can easily build your own unique collection of wedding flowers with ease and in a straightforward way. You know exactly how much it will costs as there are no hidden charges or additional costs later on.

Shop your wedding flowers

How it works

1.

Shop your flowers online.

Order your wedding flowers by adding them to your shopping bag. Every product has its own page with more information and handy tips that are specific to that product.

After you added all your flowers to your shopping bag you will be guided to the checkout page where you can give more details about your wishes.

2.

On the checkout page, specify your color preferences and other details.

On the checkout page you will be able to give more details about your color preferences and wishes. I keep them in mind while I design your florals.

3.

On the checkout page, choose your pickup date.

On the checkout page, fill in the date you want to pick up your flowers. Be careful when picking a date that this date is the day your pickup your order. This date does not necessarily need to be your event date.

I advise picking up your flowers a maximum of two days before your event to ensure the flowers stay fresh on the big day.

4.

Place your order (no payment needed yet).

On this page you place your final order. When I receive your order I will check if your date is available and I will get back to you within 2 business days to confirm your order.

5.

If I’m available – yay! – you get the payment information to secure your date.

After I confirmed your order I will send you the payment information to pay for your order. After payment your date is locked and I reserve a part of my garden and flowers just for you.

For orders above € 1000 a non-refundable deposit of € 500 is required.

6.

The wait begins.

But in the meantime, I will send you handy tips for the pickup day to ensure you are well prepared and for keeping your flowers fresh.

7.

It’s pick-up day. Your flowers are waiting.

Today is the day! Your flowers are ready to be picked up. I welcome you to the farm (if you chose this pick-up location) and I’ll help you load your vehicle while providing any last-minute tips or answering any questions you might have.

Now its all yours to enjoy! Time to celebrate and share love with your beloved one, family and close friends.

P.S. I would love to see your wedding. Do send me some pictures afterwards or tag me on Instagram @lafermdeyola 🙂

Pick-up​

I advice to pick-up your flowers maximum two days before your event to make sure the flowers stay fresh on the big day.

  1. If you pick-up your order in Bordeaux (only Saterdays), you can do this between 08:00 and 13:00.
  2. If you pick-up your order on our farm in Granges-sur-Lot, you can do this between 10:00 and 17:00.

If these hours are not convenient, you can always contact me to discuss another time.

No, at this time I’m not able to deliver or setup À la carte wedding flowers.

However, you might be interested in my full service wedding flowers (starting at 1.500 €). This includes delivery and setup.

On the checkout page you can choose to pick up your flowers at

  1. Our farm in Granges-sur-Lot (every weekday + Saterday)
  2. Our market in Bordeaux (only Saturday)
  3. In the Gradignan region of Bordeaux (Tuesday or Friday)
  4. In Eysines, a little outside Bordeaux (Tuesday or Friday)

For Sundays no. But on most holidays you can pick up your flowers. I always confirm if I am available on your pick up date after you ordered.

A car with air conditioning is important to keep the flowers fresh.

  • If the order is large, make sure you have enough space in your vehicle for everything.
  • Please note that flowers can not be placed in the back of an open pickup truck; flowers should always travel in an enclosed, controlled environment.

But after you order I’ll send you detailed information on how to keep your flowers fresh for your wedding day.

Rental​

Yes. You need to pay a 25% deposit over the order total. This will be refunded to you when you bring back your rentals in time and without damage.

Depending on the value of the damaged piece a percentage of the deposit will be withhold.

No, you are not required to do this. I will clean them for you.

Within 5 days.

Yes. But keep in mind that it is your responsibility to send them back safely. It is also required to send me the track and trace code. So the postal package must be send in a way that it is traceable.

Make sure you pack everything well and firmly with filling material so that you reduce the risk of breakage.

If your rentals return incomplete, damaged or not return at all, I will withhold (a percentage of ) your deposit.

Within 1 or 3 business days.

With every day you are late I will charge € 50,00.

It is important for me to have my vases back in time so I can use them for a following event.

No. You can only choose the style. You can not pick the individual vases.

I will always make sure you get a coherent variety of vases.

Cancellations/modifications​

This depends on the stage we are at. Some changes may be allowed 4 week before your pick up date. Please email me about this.

If you cancel your order more than 30 days before the pick up date, you will get a refund for all the money you paid, except for the non-refundable deposit (that starts for orders above € 1000).

If, for example, an external situation arises like a pandemic I will think along with you for the best solution (ex: a (partial) refund or rescheduling a date).

This has never happened to me. In an extreme event where circumstances by nature destroys or partially destroys my flower field I’ll do my best to find a solution within the color palette you picked. I always discuss the potential solutions with you.

I never leave you hanging.

  1. My first solution is to look at what I still have and create from there.
  2. My second solution is to buy flowers within your color palette from other local organic florists.

I will still create something absolutely beautiful for your day. Your guest will not even notice nature said nope to our plan.
