In the event of any supply difficulties, we reserve the right to substitute a previously agreed ingredient or component within a design of equivalent value and quality without notice. This includes specific flowers/ plants and sundries that may not be available. I would stress that flowers and plant material are natural products and colours may differ/ be unavailable to those agreed but we will always make every effort to source products accordingly.

1.3 All in person consultations will be made by appointment only. The initial consultations are complimentary. Once your wedding date is booked with Fresh Petals Florist, we are available for contact by phone and email at any stage to answer any questions and queries you may have. 

Prices and payment

2.1 Prices listed within Fresh Petals Florist service proposal will remain valid for 14 days from the date sent to you, the event commissioner. Prices in the proposal should be taken as a guide. Should the ingredients or components for the intended final design of the product or service rise significantly we shall notify you, the event commissioner as soon as reasonably possible and pass this cost on to said event commissioner.

2.2. The final invoice for your wedding flowers will be issued to you after your order has been confirmed.

2.3 Once flowers have been confirmed, any subsequent changes made to a wedding order must be submitted in writing by the bride, groom or appointed acting party. 

Fresh Petals Florist will order your wedding flowers approximately ten to fourteen days before your wedding date, dependent on type of flowers chosen. You will not be allowed to make any significant changes after the order has been placed without additional fees. We will, however try to make small changes where possible to accommodate your needs.

3. Delivery

3.1 Incorrect personal details may lead to problems or delays in delivery, so before placing or confirming your order for a product or service, please ensure that you, the event commissioner, have provided full address and telephone details, including accurate postcode of the venue or agreed recipient and your contact telephone number or e-mail address so that we can notify you in the event that any delivery problems are encountered.
