Wedding flowers, artfully presented, are a specialty at Harkins.  We don’t advertise or especially promote them, but lots of great couples over the years have found their way to us.

Their satisfaction has been our way of building a solid wedding business.    Many of our clients started as wedding customers initially.    We hear from brides and grooms all the time, from London to California when they need flowers in New Orleans . Some still use us when sending flowers anywhere.  

We only do one large wedding each weekend, so we can give each couple our complete attention.  You may call our office at 504-529-1638 to check on our availability and to schedule an appointment.  

Typically, we would start with an initial conference to explore the floral needs for a wedding.    After developing a shopping list of your flower needs (e.g. bride’s bouquet, maids’ bouquets, boutonnieres, church arrangements, reception centerpieces, etc.) we present a proposal including three prices for each item.   This is our unconventional way of pricing a wedding.    Rather than throw a single number on the table as the cost of the wedding, we encourage the customer to put together the budget that works for them.    This is as close as we come to offering a wedding package.    It’s about as far away as you can get from the one-size-fits-all wedding packages featured in bridal tabloids.  

Weddings at Harkins do not include any of the “funny fees” some florists slip in at the bottom of the bill.   There are no consultation, set-up, or take-down. Beyond the price of the proposal, there is only the sales tax we are required to collect in New Orleans .  We give two free deliveries per wedding, should we have to deliver to a third venue there will be a small fee depending on the delivery location. Should there be a transfer of flowers from one point to another, such as us taking the church flowers, after the ceremony, to the reception there will be a fee. These circumstances are not the norm, and they are in place only due to having to retain a delivery driver after hours.   

To accept our proposal, we ask for roughly one third down payment to reserve the date.  The second third is due one month before the wedding, and the final third is due one week before.
