So you’re looking for a custom piece…
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here.
Let me tell you a bit about how this process works!
My commissions come from an ongoing waitlist, meaning I continually accept sign-ups for anyone who is interested. This really accumulates over time! And while I’m honored and grateful to have so many signups (without you, I wouldn’t be able to do this) I cannot complete bouquets at a rate to match their demand. So, what’s that mean? I’m behind. The waitlist is long. Quite long really. Currently, I am working on sign-ups from November 2022.
Why? It all points back to social media. When my videos gained traction and sometimes went viral, mass amounts of commission sign-ups came from it (sometimes 100 in a single day)! Some people signed up during a time when my social media posts were only steadily being viewed, or during a “slow” point; Others signed up when reels went viral. This skews wait time depending on when you’ve signed up. The estimated wait time I provide is just that, an estimate based on my overall follow through rate; so what’s my guess? About 2.5 years. I know. I hate that too. That said, the time passes quickly and you’ll be up before you know it! I PROMISE. And I promise, it’s worth the wait. Not only is 3D floral art my specialty, wedding bouquets are my superpower. Four and a half years of sculpting and arranging flowers has led me to the place I am now, the place where I have gained the knowledge and ability to create the most realistic wedding bouquets made of paint. and I’m happy to answer any questions in the meantime.
This is a long read but contains information about the waitlist and commission process, so bear with me or scroll to the bottom of the page to simply join the waitlist. :)
I send out groupings of emails to waitlisters each time I finish a round of commissions. Once that round is complete, the next email goes out. If you haven’t received an email yet, you’re just not up yet! You can always email me with questions or to check on approximate wait time.
I accept multiple commissions in one round at a time. I work on everyone’s flowers simultaneously, so everyone in each group has about the same amount of wait time for their bouquet to be completed. For example: If you’re in a group of 4 people, you can expect the wait time to be about 3-4 weeks from start to finish. 12 people like my most recent round is closer to 8 weeks.
Commission Process:
You receive an email from me that you’re up and you’re ready to proceed. Yay! Here’s what that looks like:
You send me photos of your bouquet, or we discuss the commission you would like done. This is done through emails; but sometimes a phone call is in order.
We discuss sizing and prices depending on your request. I have base prices, but these vary depending on simplicity or complexity of your request. For example, the suggested *starting* size of a wedding bouquet is 8x8” and $475; Though I go as small as 4” and as large as 24”. Email me for a full pricing list. Note these prices can change a bit over time to keep up with rising supply costs
I request a 50% (non-refundable deposit) before beginning. This is to be paid within 24 hours of agreeing to proceed with the commission. Why is it non refundable? A large amount of time and planning goes into each commission. This is a way to protect myself, the artist, if something goes unplanned in the process.
During the creation process, I will send updates to 1. Show progress and/or 2. Check with you/ask you some questions about some things.
Once the piece is complete, drying, and ready to ship, the second half payment will be requested, along with the cost to ship the piece and a 6% sales tax if you’re located in Pennsylvania (and of course, final photos are sent for your approval)! This can be paid any time before the piece ships and I will give you the date it will ship, and provide tracking and insurance information. Usually, I suggest at least a week after the piece has been completed to allow for ample drying time.
I am sure I left out some information — but any and all information will be discussed thoroughly when it’s time to begin your commission. I look forward to working with you!
