Pricing philosophy
The industry standard pricing for florists is typically
3 to 5 times the wholesale price per stem. We price
differently at Growing Wild. Our prices are standard,
regardless of the types of flowers you choose (though
a few flowers such as calla lilies are so expensive
we do have a small surcharge). We use a sizeable portion
your total budget to shop for your wholesale flowers
and hard goods. While we will use any flowers that you
want, we do ask for some flexibility here should the
flowers not be available or colors don't work.
We are able to provide high-end flowers at reasonable
prices due to our low overhead. Because the design team
works out of a studio located on Barbara Von Elm's farm,
we do not have to incur the high costs associated with
supporting a retail shop. Moreover, we primarily gain
our customers through word-of-mouth thereby reducing
the high cost of marketing. Finally, whenever possible,
Barbara augments flowers bought from the wholesaler
with flowers from her garden.
*** Please note that effective June, 2006 we are initiating
a minimum of $1,600 for weddings during "high season"
(April through October) and $1,200 for weddings during
"off season" (November through March). ***
