how we operate
let’s make the most
of each stem
what you can expect
our process
Step by step, we take you through what it takes to make your vision, within your budget, come to life.
STEP 1 Inquire
Inquire through our get in touch form, or email us.
STEP 2 Consultation
If we are available, we would set a date and time for Mili to give you a call for a free phone consultation.
By the time of your first call, you would have prepared your photo references, general look and feel for your florals, and your budget-goal.
Your follow-up would be a no obligation estimate document and visual presentation.
STEP 3 Book & Confirm
If you decide to choose us as your florist vendor, you would follow up with Mili to request an invoice and confirmation document to book your oder.
Purchase is made through the document provided.
We are a first-booked, first served vendor. We do not work in deposits. Your order is confirmed and onto our schedule once it is paid in full.
STEP 4 Prep & Fulfillment
Your finalization date tends to be five weeks before the fulfillment date. From the day you book and through your finalization date, you can make as many adjustments as you would like to your order.
We will be sure to keep in touch before your finalization date so that all details are perfect.
Mili will provide you with a final check-in a week or two before fulfillment.
let’s highlight your priorities
important to you
Prioritize and focus by providing a list and image board to help visualize what you truly want for your day. If you are unsure what to choose, we are happy to walk you through some options.
repurpose
Most any arrangement installed for a ceremony or cocktail hour can be moved as the event progresses. We don’t want a single stem to go to waste! We would work to make sure everyone is on the same page for you day-of, to complete and perfect any tasks to repurpose.
consider table top rentals
We offer a variety of candle holder styles to rent at reasonable, flat-rate prices. Floral vessels are included and considered into the price of your arrangements. We offer ideas for sourcing table runners. These details add-up to bring a lot of dimension and beauty to your reception with minimal added-cost.
flexibility pays off
Have peace of mind knowing that we get it and are working to fulfill your needs and your dream. This is why we do what we do! Flowers are based on market-pricing and availability that are ever-changing. Greenery is no longer an inexpensive alternative. These are the facts! If your dream bloom is not in season, or you want to play with a color palette instead of exact flower types, we’ll find the flowers to match your style, budget, and aesthetic.
selective where it counts
We always recommend placing the best and most expensive stems where they matter most.

behind the scenes
FAQs
What areas do you service?
Glorified Hobby is located in San Diego County. Most of our work is local, but we have successfully serviced many weddings outside California.
Do you have a minimum?
There is no minimum order price to work with us.
This fact is a driving force behind our company’s growth. Karen and Mili have worked with clients as wedding and event vendors for several years, and understand the huge demand for what we offer: florist services with on-trend design, real experience, and excellent care, with the most reasonable pricing possible.
How far in advance do we need to book?
We recommend booking at least four months in advance, but the sooner the better as our calendar fills quickly! We are busy wedding vendors, and only take on as many events per weekend that we can handle within our high standards.
Payment in full to book must be made at least two months in advance, with any adjustments made by the finalization date: five weeks before fulfillment.
Do you arrange faux flowers?
We can place items provided. However, we only source and work in real flowers and greenery from local wholesalers: both fresh and preserved.
Do you offer set-price packages?
It is not possible for us to offer set-priced packages since we strive to be budget-oriented, on a per client basis.
Every wedding and event-vision is unique. There are many variables we keep in mind about the cost and servicing of flowers. We encourage you to find the style (including approximate sizing and shape) of arrangements that suit you and your venue so that we can work out the details for follow-up after our initial consultation.
