FAQs
Why do florists have a minimum spend?
Minimum spend is a tool florist' use to maintain product quality and service standards. By implementing a minimum spend, florists can better manage their operational costs with customer satisfaction, ensuring that they can provide beautiful floral arrangements sustainably and efficiently.
As everything is designed around the celebrant's vision, we don't have a price list.
However, we can give you some price points as a guide.
Epilogue's lead offerings are Floral Arches and Pedestal Urns and Plinths. They have minimum spend sticker price points.
Basic designs are featured here in Silk flowers/foliage. Can be custom designed to your preference, subject to availability of flowers in the global market.
Also available in Fresh flowers. (Will require longer lead time depending on flower choices, flower season, availability, conditioning, and complexity of the installation on the day)
Full Floral Arches Starting from £1500
Broken Arches Starting from £1300
Pedestal Urns and Plinths (in pairs):
Timeless Large Dark Grey Urn/Plinth Starting from £500 each
Beautiful Metal Urn/Plinth Starting from £250 each
These installations can be as elaborate, whimsical and tall as you want but flower choices, season and complexity of the installations will significantly affect the whole price.
These are RENTAL ONLY, including silk flowers and all our inventories. They remain our property.
Fresh flowers can be taken home or donated. (Prior arrangements with Epilogue's flowers and T's and C's apply.)
Rental starts from the day of installation and take down on the same night,( It is called midnight strike) or the next morning. Time allocation should be arranged by yourself with the venue.

How do you price your arrangements?
Pricing depends on the scale and complexity of the arrangements as well as flower choices. The use of fresh flowers is dependent on the season and the global market. High quality silk flowers and/or real touch flowers can be expensive.
We only use high quality fresh cut flowers and premium silk and/or real touch flowers. After years of extensive research of global and British market, we now have access to the best wholesalers, both for silk and fresh flowers.
"My pricing is competitive based on my talent, skill level and floristry education. I am using industry pricing standards. Fair-pricing is my promise. There are no hidden costs unless you add more products and services." - Sally
Can I save money using silk florals instead of fresh flowers?
The common assumption about using silk florals is that they are relatively cheaper than fresh flowers. However, the reality is that excellent quality silk flowers can be quite expensive. They can usually cost more per stem than fresh flowers. As a result, if you are looking at having an elaborate floral arch, mantelpiece/ceiling arrangement or centrepiece, silk flowers will add up quickly and can be more costly.
Please note: Silk flowers including our inventories are rentals only and remain our property.
As mentioned above:
Fresh flowers can be taken home or donated. (Prior arrangements with Epilogue's flowers and T's and C's apply.)
Can you show me sample designs/arrangements?
To be transparent towards my clients and ensure high quality service, I avoid creating design mock ups for a few reasons.
Firstly, as these mock ups are made months in advance of your wedding/event date, the flowers and resources used will not be a proper reflection of the flowers on the wedding day. The quality may differ, selected flowers may not be in season yet and ideas can change. Furthermore, to create a fabulous mock up, we would need a tablescape, appropriate lighting etc. Lastly, I will consequently have to charge for mock ups due to labour and the need to buy the amount of stems for arrangements.
Do you offer packages?
As every occasion is unique and catered to the personality of the celebrant, standardised packages are not offered. Over time, rental items and selections will grow along with demand.
Are you selling everyday flowers or flowers for all occasions?
For now, we are focusing on specialised or niche floral offerings to carve out a unique market position. In the future, we will gradually introduce occasion-specific arrangements as the company grows.
Are you selling products online?
Currently, we are concentrating on launching the business but are planning to sell products and bouquets online in the future. Watch this space! :)
Are your wedding/event rentals available for dry hire?
All wedding/event rentals include Epilogue products and services exclusively.
Who is responsible to communicate with the venue regarding the order of the day, tables/chairs set-up in readiness for dressing?
We are not a wedding coordinator business. It is your responsibility to organise these. On the day of the event, the whole venue is expected to be already set up to its requirements i.e. chairs and tables at their designated places, staging etc.
However, we understand some venues provide table and chair dressing. If this arrangement is organised with them beforehand i.e, use of their own linens, chair covers etc., we will be more than happy to cater for other services, such as providing a backdrop, centrepieces, and designing installations etc.
Are you open to working with other vendors?
We love a community of vendors. We can collaborate. But if we feel that we are not the right fit for your style, we will be happy to refer you to another florist.
Also please note, we have a "No DIY, No Balloons Policy". (Please see below)
Can I incorporate my DIY designs and balloons to your arrangements and styling?
We have a "No DIY designs, No Balloons Policy".
Only personal items of sentimental value and importance to the celebrants will be allowed.
Planning a wedding or event with a focus on cohesive venue styling and professional floral design can create a stunning and memorable experience. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Quality Assurance: By hiring a professional, you ensure a higher quality and more polished look, avoiding the potential pitfalls of DIY.
2. Time Management: This allows you to focus on other aspects of your wedding and reduces the stress of having to manage multiple DIY projects.
3. Expertise: Professionals bring their experience and expertise to the table, ensuring that all designs are executed flawlessly.
4. Alternative Decor: Instead of balloons, focus on elegant alternatives like hanging floral arrangements, drapery, fairy lights, or candles to enhance the ambiance.
By focusing on these key aspects and working with professional, registered vendors, you can achieve a beautifully styled wedding with a cohesive look that leaves a lasting impression on your guests.
