General
Q: How far in advance should I book the decor for my wedding?
A: In general, you should book your wedding décor 9 to 12 months in advance to ensure the availability of the décor items and the designer for the specific date. If you do not fall within the specified time frame, don’t worry. Just contact KM Wedding Décor & Flowers and we can discuss the options available to you. We are more than happy to help whether you are scheduling your wedding event in 2 years or 2 weeks.
Q: I haven’t booked a venue yet. Should I book my weeding décor rental?
A: We generally advise that you should book your wedding venue first before booking our wedding décor in order for our designers to know the perimeter of the space they are working with and the color scheme of the venue. Some wedding venues supply certain décor options and some do not. It is much better to know exactly what the venue provides and what you will require prior to consultation.
Q: What is your preferred method of communication?
A: We favor communication via email. This ensures that all correspondence between the company and the client is documented for potential future reference if necessary.
Q: From where did you acquire your event decoration skills?
A: Our training has been facilitated by the Institute of Wedding and Event Design, earning us recognition as a Certified Event Designer.

Q: What if I’m not ready to book on the spot?

Please note: we do reserve event dates and services on a first come first serve basis.
Q: What if I would like to reserve my wedding date but I don’t have all the details quite figured out yet?
A: We suggest you book the décor products and services that you are sure about, that way they can be reserved and the rest of the details can be figured out along the way. The most important thing is reserving your wedding date. We can continue to help you through the process of choosing your wedding décor by utilizing Pinterest and putting together a compilation of ideas and doing mock set ups with the products you have in mind (when possible).

Q: What are the payment options and method of payment?
A: We would require 30% of the total of your décor rentals in a non-refundable deposit to secure your date and products, the remaining 70% is due 2 weeks prior to your event. We are flexible with our payment options and can arrange for payment plans upon request. We currently accept payments by cash, cheque or email money transfer.
Leading up to the Event
Q: How do I know I will receive exactly what I was expecting?
A: One month before your event, we send you a design plan. This design plan comprises all the details that will be taking place on the day of the event including pictures and precise details on how many products will be supplied, where they will be set up, colours, sizes, etc. We find that this process serves to assist our clients feel confident that they will receive what they were expecting. This also helps to minimize any possible miscommunication errors that could take place over the course of the months preceding the event. Therefore this gives us time to sort through any issues if any were to arise.
Q: When is the final payment and guest count due?
A: We require final payment in full approximately 14 days prior to the event.
Day of Event
A: Typically, we deliver and set up the morning of the event around 9 am and we tear down overnight at 1am. Sometimes the wedding venue may not have an event booked the day before your wedding and in this situation, we may be able to get in the day before for set up if it is accommodating with our schedule. This does not happen often but is sometimes possible. Delivery, set up and tear down times are arranged with the venue the week preceding the event. You will be updated with these details a few days prior to your event.
Q: How do you possibly remember all the details for my wedding?
A: We have many years of experience. We have learned ways to maximize our efficiency and minimize any issues that could potentially arise. We utilize checklists to ensure not even the smallest detail is forgotten.
