Communication

To help us keep a track of the finer details, our preferred method of communication post booking is via email. Any changes, requests, or cancellations should be via email.  If you would like to chat with us over the phone or virtual meeting via Zoom we are only too happy to do so. However, we ask for these to be scheduled in advance.   Please allow 24-48 hours for us to respond to your emails as we may be executing an event.

Final selection + Substitution

Changes and selection of flowers and sundries must be finalised no later than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled event. We are happy to provide two revisions of your quote. Additional revisions will be charged on the time required to alter, at our hourly rate. In the instance that the suppliers are not able to provide us with the flowers and or/colours discussed, Coastal Wedding Flowers has the right to make substitutions that align with the overall theme and style. Should there be a large difference in the look of the design, we will notify you immediately.

Cancellations
