As you'll see when you visit our Designs page, our elegant style and flair for the unusual set us apart from other couture companies- but we believe that's only one half of the equation. Creating a great experience for a client is just as important as the beauty they see in the end product. We know we have just one chance to get both the experience and the design just right-with every client and every project, it's our top priority. Where is Cherry Blossom Creations located? Cherry Blossom Creations is located in the Atlanta metro area, though we happily serve clients from other locales via e-mail and telephone. Our process makes it easy, no matter where you're located. Where can I see your designs? Please visit our Designs page to see our latest work, or, if you live in the Atlanta metro area, we are happy to arrange a personal consultation face-to-face! When should I begin the design process for invitation and announcement suites? Because all Cherry Blossom Creations are hand-crafted, the entire process can take from two to six months, depending on the complexity of the design and materials used. For instance, silk items require 4-6 weeks on top of design and assembly. For weddings, it's important to remember most wedding invitations are mailed 6-8 weeks prior to the celebration, so it is best to contact us at least 6 months prior to your event. Though we are able to accommodate rush orders on a case-by-case basis for an additional fee, we advise potential clients to book their consultation with us as soon as possible-longer lead time allows for a limitless array of design options! When should I begin the design process for floral arrangements? Again, we advise our clients to book their consultation as soon as possible-two to six months is ideal. If the flowers chosen are in-season, we can accommodate orders up to two months before the event date without a rush fee. However, we do our best to meet even the most difficult requests-we once had 500 stems of peonies, a summer flower, flown in from Latin America in the dead of winter! What materials do you work with? We work in every medium imaginable, from silk to mahogany to wax seals to letter-pressed papers. Unique requests are no problem-we welcome the challenge, though more time is often required for complex designs. Are samples of fabrics and other materials available? We carry a limited number of samples, but since we typically make custom items, we do not carry a stock of samples. After learning more about what you want, we are happy to supply samples of fabrics and materials to be sure they are to your liking. A small fee may be associated with this, depending on the materials used. I like the designs I see at Cherry Blossom Creations, but I have a few ideas of my own that I'd like to incorporate into the design. Can you do custom orders? ABSOLUTELY! We'd love to hear your ideas and incorporate your vision. We welcome and encourage custom orders, and invite you to be a part of the creative process. How does the design process actually work? Our design process is simple and straightforward, so that you can focus on enjoying your special event. Click here to visit our Process page for more information. What is the price range for your invitation or announcement suites, and how do you set your prices? All Cherry Blossom Creations designs are custom and hand-crafted, so there are many factors that impact the price. Silk boxes, paper, print options, embellishments and quantity all play a role in pricing your designs, so there is some flexibility in the final cost. Please contact Cherry Blossom Creations for further information-we make it a priority to accommodate varying budgets. How does the payment process work? We require a 50% deposit before beginning work on your project, and the remaining 50% of the invoice is due upon acceptance of final proof. Is there a minimum order required? Our floral designs require a minimum order of $5,000. Because there are so many possibilities for invitation and announcement suites, we determine minimum orders on a case-by-case basis. What is your cancellation policy? All of our products are custom-designed and hand-crafted for your specific event; refunds will not be honored. In the event of cancellation, all costs incurred to date are billable. A $75 per hour design fee will apply. How many extra invitations or announcements should I order? It's a good idea to order an additional 5-10% of your anticipated guest list, in case there are last-minute additions. Do you mail the invitations, or do I receive the shipment and mail them myself? We realize that busy brides have many things on their plate; for an additional charge we can take care of shipping your invitations to your guests for you! This saves you the cost of shipping the invitations to your home, as well as saving you the time and hassle of having to mail them yourself! No matter how you choose to mail your invitations or announcements, it's important to factor in additional postage. Many of our designs are non-traditional shapes and weights, and your local post office can assist you in determining proper postage. I want to get started. What's my first step? Great!
