our process

let’s make the most of each stem

If you’re interested in the possibility of booking with Glorified Hobby, please contact Mili directly via email or text, and include your date and location/venue for fulfillment and any notes about your vision.

Mili will follow up to confirm our availability.

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.

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.

Your finalization date is six 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 maximize your floral budget

decide what is important to you

Prioritize and focus. Make a list and/or image board to help visualize what you absolutely need and want for your day. If you are unsure what to choose, we are happy to walk you through some options.

re-purpose ceremony flowers

Most any arrangement installed for your ceremony can be moved to the reception space during cocktail hour. 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 repurposing tasks.

consider our 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.

using the best where it counts

We always recommend placing the best and most expensive stems where they matter most. If you have a favorite flower, but your budget only allows for one bunch of them, we will make them the main focal.

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.

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 spend?

There is no minimum order price to work with us.

This fact is a driving force behind our company’s growth. We have been working with clients as a wedding vendor for more than a decade, 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.

What if we are on a budget?

Having a floral budget is living in the real world. It’s personal too. If you haven’t thought about a budget, we recommend you consider a approximate number before reaching out for florist estimates.

We can help you come up with an end result that works within your vision – prioritizing your essential elements, with direction and ideas for what can be achieved within your budget.

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: six weeks before fulfillment.

Do you arrange or set faux flowers?

We work with the real-deal from local wholesalers: 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.
