FAQs
What does the booking process and timeline look like?
1
We ask that you fill out the form at the bottom of the page and include as many details as possible. Within 48 hours of recieving your request, we will reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation with no strings attached. After our consultation, we will send over a detailed proposal with visuals for you to review. The proposal will expire 2 weeks after it is sent. To secure your date, a 30% deposit is required. Once booked we will schedule 2 sessions before your wedding date to hammer out any details and do a venue walk through. We can make changes to your proposal up until a month before the wedding or event, as long as the changes do not reduce the overall proposal to more than 10%. Final details and payment will be due 30 days before your event.

Do you offer a la carte services?

No! We would love to travel for your wedding or event! Weddings within 2 hours of New Orleans will not incur a travel fee, but higher minimums may be expected. For weddings and events outside of Southeast Louisiana, a travel fee will be included and a high minimum will be expected. If you just require design or stationery services, we can ship your deliverables without any fees aside from shipping.
No! We love a challenge and love to source things for our clients. If you dream is to have mixed matched vintage glassware or funky seating throughout your venue, we will make it happen. We often find things ourselve to make your vision come true, or we source them from other local vendors and give you less to worry about.
While I’m relatively new to the floral industry, I’m certainly not new to design or the wedding industry. For over eight years, I served as the Creative Director and head screen printer for my previous company Yat Cat Print Co. in New Orleans. I created and curated artistic apparel collections from concept to finished product. That experience taught me a strong eye for composition, color, balance, texture, and attention to detail, all skills that naturally translate into floral design.
I’ve also spent more than 10 years working in the wedding industry, taking on roles ranging from bartender and event coordinator to decor rental and styling. I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with many couples and understand the details that go into creating a wedding that feels personal and thoughtfully designed.
If you’ve followed my work with Yat Cat, you probably already know that I’m a bit obsessive about the details. I believe the little things matter, and I won’t consider a design finished until every element feels just right.
I want specific decor or rentals that I don’t see if your portfolio. Am I limited to what I see?
