My wedding site provides the flower from Celebrations Design Group, so why do I need a florist?

  • Your venue provides centerpieces for the reception. Personal flowers are needed for you and your bridal party as well as any décor you may want for the ceremony. CDG will be happy to provide a no-cost proposal for ceremony decor, linens and chair covers, plant rentals and special effects lighting. Clients will certainly benefit from the professional relationship we share with our partner facilities. By choosing Celebrations Design Group for your personal/ceremony flowers, you’ll continue to benefit from our reduced pricing structure.

What kind of centerpieces look good at my venue?

  • One advantage of utilizing a special event florist is our in depth knowledge of numerous sites and the color schemes at many area locations. Recommendations will be made based on several different factors and showcase pictures of recent work to help find what pleases you!

My church won’t allow rose petals and I have a flower girl. What can I do?

  • We have several options for the youngest member of the bridal party. Our floral pomander is very popular as well as our signature princess wand.

Can I afford Celebrations Design Group? What wedding packages do you offer? Am I getting a good value?

  • CDG prides itself on providing customized, exceptional quality flowers and décor for weddings and events at competitive pricing. Our En Vogue wedding package provides style and finesse for a limited investment of $750. Our Sensible Solutions division meets the needs of couples whose investment levels are between $800- $1500. Our Premier Events divisions caters to couples who expect a customized expression of personality and our unique creativity to make the wedding distinctive. We work to articulate your dreams and visions for a perfect celebration. Our creativity is complimented with professional, detail-oriented service.

How do I know what flowers are in season? What if I want a flower that is out of season?

  • After 30 years in the floral industry, Tom knows the market and its evolution in global procurement. He works closely with our growers and wholesalers to find the best values – locally and internationally. Many flowers are available even if they aren’t in season locally – some at very competitive prices. However, even with increased technology, favorable international trade and air travel, some flowers just may not be available year round.

Do you provide samples?

  • Yes. Samples can be provided. For themed events, bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs we can also provide artistic sketches to give a physical model of your idea.

Is Tom the only designer?

  • No, Tom is frequently heard saying, ” I can’t do it all myself!” The Design Group is comprised of a team of consultants, senior and junior designers as well as installers/decorators, each of who contribute their own individual areas of expertise.

Can I pay with a credit card?

  • We do not accept credit cards. Rather, we put all the value into your flowers and décor, assuring that you get the best value for your dollar.
