Done For You 101: How to Start Your Custom Order
If you've been staring at my website, totally in love with the giant flowers but also totally unsure how to actually order custom flowers — girl, I see you. That was me once too, standing in my garage wondering if I could actually pull off something this big and beautiful for someone's event. The good news? You don't have to figure it out yourself. That's literally what my Done For You service is for.
I get messages all the time from first-time buyers who are nervous about the process. They love what they see, but they don't know where to start, what to ask, or whether they'll end up with something that actually matches their vision. So I decided to write this whole guide just for you — to walk you through every single step, demystify the process, and make you feel like you've done this a hundred times before.
Spoiler alert: it's way simpler than you think. And the result? Absolutely worth it.
Key Takeaways
Let me be real clear about this because I know "custom" can sound intimidating. Done For You means my team handles everything. You tell us your vision, your colors, your event type — and we design, craft, and ship your giant flowers ready to display.
You don't need to know anything about foam, paint finishes, or petal shaping. (Though if you're curious about the craft side, I have a whole post on heat gun techniques for shaping foam flower petals that'll blow your mind.) That's the behind-the-scenes magic. Your job? Just show up with inspiration and a vision.
Who Is This Service For?
Honestly? Anyone who wants stunning giant flowers without the learning curve. But specifically, I designed this service for:
If you're nodding at any of those — you're in the right place.
Ok, this is where it gets really fun. Let me walk you through the whole process so you know exactly what to expect from the moment you land on our site to the moment your flowers arrive at your door.
Head over to the Done For You collection and just… look around. Save the styles that catch your eye. Screenshot colors you love. Bring a Pinterest board if you have one. The more inspiration you gather, the better we can match your vision.
Not sure what size you need? Here's a quick cheat sheet:
Once you have a general idea, contact us and tell us about your event. Don't overthink it. Just tell me what you're going for — the vibe, the color palette, the date, the venue if you have it. Even "I want something romantic and blush pink for a bridal shower" is enough to get us started.
One of my favorite clients ever just sent me a photo of her daughter's dress and said "match this energy." We absolutely did.
This is the part that surprises most first-time buyers. Before we make a single petal, we put together a visual mockup of your order. You get to see what your flowers will look like — the colors, the arrangement, the sizing — before anything is crafted.
This is your chance to tweak, adjust, and make it perfect. Want the center bloom a shade deeper? Done. Prefer a slightly different leaf placement? Easy. We don't start crafting until you give us the green light.
You should never have to cross your fingers and hope your flowers look right. The mockup is your guarantee that what you imagined is exactly what gets made.
Step 4 — We Craft Your Order
Once you approve the mockup, my team gets to work. Every single flower is handcrafted — we're talking hand-cut petals, custom paint finishes, careful assembly. This isn't mass production. This is real craftsmanship, made specifically for your event.
Want a peek at what goes into the craft side? Check out our guide on foam flowers vs paper flowers — it explains why we love the materials we use and why they hold up so beautifully for events.
No assembly. No instructions to decode. No "where does this piece go?" panic the night before your event. Your flowers arrive ready to display. Just unbox, place, and wow your guests.
💡 Pro Tip
Order at least 3–4 weeks before your event to give us enough time to craft your flowers beautifully without rushing. Peak seasons (spring and fall) book up fast — the earlier you reach out, the better your chances of getting your ideal date.
Real talk — I know pricing is one of the first things you want to know, and I'm not going to make you dig for it. Here's exactly what our single blooms cost, broken down by size and mount type.
If you're not sure where to start, the 3 × 18" package is my go-to recommendation for first-time buyers. It gives you a full, lush display without overwhelming your space — and the price point is really solid for what you get.
Need something over 30"? That moves into our commercial division — just reach out and we'll talk through what makes sense for your project.
