Frequently Asked Questions
Are you interested in working with us for a wedding or event? Here are some frequently asked questions about how it all works.
-
We are located in New Richmond, WI, which is on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin. We work in Western Wisconsin and the eastern part of the Twin Cities metro area of Minnesota.
-
It all starts with your free consultation appointment where we meet to get to know each other and see if we are a good match. These appointments typically take about an hour and can be done in person or virtually. We will discuss your vision for your wedding or event, review your floral needs, and gather the details we need to create your wedding flower estimate. Once you have received and reviewed your estimate and decided you would like to book with us, we then collect a deposit and signed contract, which will reserve your wedding date.

-
No, we do not have a store front. We are a home-based studio and work by appointment only. Appointments are held in a location of your choosing, and can be held at our studio, at your home, virtually, or in a mutually agreed upon location (ie: local coffee shops)
-
No, we do not offer packages. Each wedding or event that we do is unique and customized to your specific needs, budget, and vision.
-
AHHHH, now THIS is the magic question everyone wants to know the answer to! And the answer is, it really depends on so many factors: From the number of arrangements you need, to the flowers you choose, to the scope of the delivery and set up on the big day. There really is no cookie cutter answer to this question.
We can say that the average weddings we create typically range from $2500 - $5000 and up.
-
We don’t require a minimum order size. However, if you’d like to reserve Willow River Blooms as your exclusive florist for the day, a minimum order of $1,500 is required. This ensures that your wedding or event receives our full attention and that we do not book any other events on your date.
-
Yes we do. Delivery and set-up fees are calculated based on the scope of work, time involved, and number of miles traveled.
-
Yes, absolutely! We will provide you with names and contact information upon request.
-
The deposit is $250 for weddings and events under $2500. Over $2500 the deposit is $500. This deposit reserves your date for you and is then applied to the final balance, which is due when we finalize your order approximately 3-4 weeks prior to your event.
-
Yes you can! We know that wedding and event planning details are ever-evolving and that changes are often necessary as details come together. You can make changes to your order up until we finalize the details, which will happen approximately 3-4 weeks prior to your event. At this point we must finalize and place our orders with our suppliers, so no further changes can be made. Don’t sweat it though… if you realize you forgot Aunt Betty’s corsage a couple of days prior to the big day, we got you!
