FAQs
We understand how much there is to consider when choosing flowers for your special day. Here are some of our most frequently asked questions. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any further questions you may have.
How many florists work with you?
With my friendly hands-on approach I will design your wedding flowers and on the day be there to oversee the work assisted by a suitably sized team of florists.
Do you have investment requirements?
Yes, our minimum floral investment is from £2,500.00 (including VAT).
What area do you cover?
Sussex, Surrey, London and Hampshire.
How long have you been a florist?
Gill Pike Florist was established in 2008, but I have been involved with floristry since I was a teenager.
Can I have flowers that are out of season?
Yes, though seasonal flowers are always best and more reasonably priced. However, we will always do our very best to source your favourites or suggest alternatives if seasonably unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
What are the best ways to show my ideas?
Pinterest, visuals and mood boards are all good starting points. We will always host an initial consultation call with couples or welcome you to our studio, where we can create your own personal flower menu.
Do you have hire props?
Yes.
What happens to the flowers after the wedding?
We will always encourage couples to take them home/ give to others. Gill will collect props only.
When do you need to set up?
The earliest the venue opens.
Next steps?
After securing your date, approximately 6-8 weeks before the wedding we will make an appointment to discuss all the finer details and make any changes necessary.
What is the most expensive time of year for flowers?
Valentines day, December and Mothering Sunday are PEAK seasons for flowers. Making flowers a higher value in price. Spring and Summer is easier, as local growers in the UK have better pricing, than outside the uk.

When is the final payment due?
A week before the wedding.
