La Coquette Pricing - 2009


As a Bride, I was always confused by the floral costs when I researched florists. For my clients I decided to be more transparent about the process.

I will source beautiful blooms from my wonderful wholesaler in Victoria, BC, and then arrange them for you in my home. My flat rate arranging fee reflects the average wedding. You can accessorize the plan by adding on any additional arrangements that you will require.

If you are looking to keep your floral costs down, I would love to help you choose flowers that will allow you to have the flowers of your dreams at a price you can afford. Just contact me at fleurscoquettes {at} gmail {dot} com.

The Diamond Plan - $250 ( + wholesale flower costs )

1 Bride's Throw Bouquet
3 Bridesmaids Bouquets
1 Groom’s Boutonniere
3 Groomsmen Boutonnieres
2 Mother’s Corsages
2 Father’s Boutonnieres
1 Flower Girl Pomander or Posy Bouquet

· Each additional Bouttoniere $5

Hawaiian At-Home Reception Flowers

It is always a joy to design flowers for close friends, and when our friends B & N got married in Hawaii, we could not wait to celebrate with them back home! I created these tropical arrangements to reflect the beautiful area where they shared a small, intimate ceremony. It was so much fun to work with tropicals. Congratulations to the lovely couple!

Wedding season is coming!




















December is prime engagement season. Many people get engaged at Christmas.... like moi! Thus, wedding vendors start booking up quickly for prime wedding season (summer) in the beginning of the year. I already have many weekends booked up for this summer and I am looking forward to adding more brides to my calendar. If you are looking for a wedding floral designer, email me with your date and hopefully I will be available for you!

I am so excited about the colour schemes of my weddings this year! I have a gorgeous yellow calla themed wedding, a tangerine and fuschia wedding and an elegant purple wedding. I am really enjoying working with my creative brides on beautiful arrangements for their big day. Here are some of the inspiration pictures I am working with. Feel free to send along your inspiration pictures when you drop me a line!
