How Our Mockup-and-Quote Process Works
If you've ever ordered something custom and crossed your fingers hoping it would look right — only to be disappointed when it arrived — I completely understand your hesitation. That's exactly why I built our flower mockup quote process into every single Done For You order. Before we cut a single petal, before we mix a drop of paint, you get to see your flowers. Digitally placed into your actual space. Real colors. Real scale. No guessing.
I started Amazing Giant Flowers because I wanted people to feel confident about what they were getting. Custom work should never feel like a gamble. And honestly? The number of clients who've told me "I was so nervous to order online, but then I saw the mockup and just knew" — that feedback is everything to me.
So let me walk you through exactly how this works, step by step. Whether you're planning a wedding backdrop, a brand activation, or a statement wall for your boutique, this process was designed with you — the thoughtful, detail-oriented buyer — in mind.
Key Takeaways
Here's the thing about giant flowers: scale changes everything. A 24" bloom that looks "big" on a screen can feel completely different once it's up against a 10-foot wall. And a color that seems perfect in a swatch photo might read totally differently next to your venue's lighting or your brand's palette.
I learned this the hard way early on. A client wanted blush flowers for her bridal shower. She described "blush." I made blush. She meant a much warmer, peachy blush. We fixed it — but that experience stuck with me. Assumptions cost time and money. Mockups eliminate assumptions.
So now, every single order — from a single 12" wall flower at $90 to a full commercial installation — goes through the same visual approval process. You see it first. You love it. Then we build it.
You should never have to cross your fingers when you order something custom. You should just know.
Step 1 — Tell Me About Your Vision
Start With a Simple Message
It starts with a conversation. You reach out through our contact page and tell me what you're thinking. It doesn't have to be polished. "I want big pink flowers for my daughter's quinceañera backdrop" is a completely perfect brief. So is "I need something eye-catching for my boutique window but I'm not sure what size."
I ask a few questions to get us oriented:
That's it. No forms with 47 fields. Just a real back-and-forth so I actually understand what you need.
If you can send me a photo of your actual wall, venue, or booth space — even a quick phone snap — the mockup gets so much more accurate. I can scale the flowers to the real dimensions and show you exactly how they'll look in context. It's the difference between "I think this will work" and "Oh wow, yes, that's exactly it."
💡 Pro Tip
Stand in front of your wall and take a wide-angle photo that shows the full height and width. Include something for scale — a chair, a person, a door. That one photo saves us at least two rounds of back-and-forth on sizing.
Once I have your info, my team gets to work on the digital mockup. This is a realistic visual rendering of your flowers placed into your space. We're talking actual colors, accurate sizes, and a real sense of the arrangement and spacing.
You'll see:
- Flower sizes to scale — so a 30" bloom actually looks like a 30" bloom against your wall
- Color accuracy — we match to your palette as closely as digitally possible
- Arrangement options — clustered, scattered, symmetrical, asymmetrical
- Wall-mounted vs. freestanding — so you can see the difference in visual weight
Alongside the mockup, you get a full itemized quote. Every flower listed. Every size. Every price. No mystery line items, no "installation fee TBD." Just a clear, honest breakdown.
Here's how our single-bloom pricing works, so you can start getting a feel for it:
Over 30"? That moves into our commercial division — just mention it when you reach out and we'll route you correctly.
Real talk? This is my favorite part of the whole process. Because this is where clients go from "I think I like it" to "Oh my gosh, YES." When you see your actual colors, your actual space, your actual flowers — something clicks.
And if something doesn't feel right? Tell me. Want the blooms more spread out? Done. Swap the dusty rose for a deeper mauve? Absolutely. Add a couple of 12" accent pieces to fill the corners? Let's see it. We revise until you're genuinely excited, not just "fine with it."
Once you approve the mockup and the quote, we collect a deposit and production begins. Your flowers are handcrafted by my team here in Houston. We build them to the exact specs from your approved mockup — same colors, same sizes, same arrangement plan.
They ship to you ready to display. No assembly puzzles. No "figure out the hardware yourself." Wall flowers come with mounting hardware. Freestanding pieces come with their bases. You open the box and put them up. That's it.

Done For You vs. DIY — Which Is Right for You?
I get asked this a lot. And honestly, both are great options — just for different people and different situations.
If you love crafting, have time, and want to save money, our DIY freestanding flower kits are genuinely fun. I've got tutorials on everything from making giant fabric blooms to shaping foam petals with a heat gun. The DIY world is deep and rewarding.
But if you need it to look perfect, you're short on time, or the stakes are high — a wedding, a brand event, a retail grand opening — Done For You is the move. You're not just buying flowers. You're buying certainty.
One of my brides told me she almost didn't order because she'd been burned by a custom décor company before — paid a deposit, got something totally different, and had to scramble two weeks before her wedding. She ordered from us nervously. Then she got the mockup. She literally texted me back in all caps: "THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED."
That's the whole point. Whether you're planning a giant flower wedding arch, a photo booth backdrop, or a retail visual display — the mockup gives you that "yes, this is right" moment before a single dollar goes into production.
The mockup isn't just a nice extra. It's the whole reason cautious buyers become confident buyers.
Frequently Asked Questions
