Our wedding flower consultations are Monday to Friday between 1pm and 3pm, or Saturday between 1pm and 3pm. We recommend booking 6-12 months in advance to your Wedding, while smaller events may only require a minimum of 2-4 weeks

The consultation is free - it gives you a chance to know us and vice versa. To reserve your date we charge a date holding fee is just £100 (*The £100 consultation payment will be deducted from your final wedding flower invoice). We do a lot of work behind the scenes that goes into the design process; not just the duration of your wedding flowers consultation but also time spent researching, sourcing and creating a detailed quote that is completely bespoke and personal for your wedding flowers. With the ever-fluctuating prices of flowers and their changing seasons, I’m sure you can understand that it’s never a very straight forward.

Yes, a consultation with one of our wedding florist specialists to discuss your bespoke requirements will take as long as required but an hour is typically what we would advise. For Packages, this isn't always necessary and can be by phone or email.

It's best to contact us and place your order as early as possible to ensure availability and ample time for detailed planning. For larger events, we recommend placing your order at least 6-12 months in advance, while smaller events may require a minimum of 2-4 weeks.

Most attend consultations with scrap books or Pinterest boards filled with their ideas, and a list of their exact requirements. Others come without any ideas at all. Whatever way you are inclined to attend, we are experienced at making suggestions and guiding you in your ideas. You may be a very flowery person and have a vast knowledge of flowers names. Equally you may know what you like but have no clue about flowers - don’t worry! If you can bring images that give the overall look of what you’re hoping to achieve or perhaps you’ve found a picture of THE bouquet for you, bring those images along and we can tell you what those flowers are, if they will be in season for your wedding day and together, design something beautiful. It is worth thinking about what flowers and designs you may need – from bouquets, buttonholes, ceremony flowers to venue decoration, we will help advise and guide you through all the decision making processes

Our consultations are by appointment only in our florist shop in the heart of Sussex. See our contact page for a map and parking information.

We always say to allow 7 working days (Monday – Friday) from the date of your consultation but where possible we will do our best to get it back to you sooner.

This is always down to the discretion of Wildwood, subject to how busy we are, and it is not guaranteed. Of course, you can call or email us anytime between 9am-5pm, Monday to Saturday. If you have booked your wedding flowers with Wildwood then we will offer one additional 30-minute complimentary consultation at our Florist shop, this is advisable to do closer to your wedding date.

Due to the nature of our job we are very busy and aren’t always available to see Brides that pop in without an appointment. So, all our consultations are by appointment only.
