Dogwood Lane Custom Silks

Question – True or False?
Silk flowers are more expensive to use for my wedding.
Dogwood Lane says: False. Depending on flower type and complexity of design, your choices may not require extensive labor and therefore in some cases be even cheaper than fresh.


Question – True or False?
After my reception I have to purchase all the table centerpieces.
Dogwood Lane says: False. No one wants to own that many centerpieces! These are the types of arrangements that are rented. Usually the larger arrangements, i.e. urns, garlands, altar flowers, floral arches are rentals through DLCS.


Question – True or False?
My wedding bouquet will be more expensive if made in silk.
Dogwood Lane says: True. But it will not die in two days either. This is an heirloom you’ll want to pass down to your daughter or granddaughter.  A professional who specializes in silk floral… designs it with your personal taste in mind.


Question – True or False?
Dogwood Lane will set-up and move all of my flowers to and from the ceremony and reception.
Dogwood Lane says:  True. We provide a service that no other florist can match. From the beginning at consultation to the last dance at reception, we are with you. We will even keep your bouquets for “safe-keeping” after the reception until you get back from the honeymoon!


Question – True or False?
My flowers are made and delivered the morning of the wedding.
Dogwood Lane says: False. You will know exactly what all your flowers will look like – long before the big day! Detailed drawings are made of all the pieces and then constructed with your prior approval. DLCS stays with you the entire day of your wedding to make sure your flowers are just where they’re supposed to be and at the right time.


Question – True or False?
It takes only 2-3 weeks to make the silk arrangements for my wedding.
Dogwood Lane says: False. Usually we book four to six months ahead. With the unique service DLCS provides, we are committed to deliver the best possible floral experience for your wedding day. With this in mind, DLCS schedules only one wedding per weekend.


Question – True or False?
Silk flowers last for approximately 2 to 3 years.
Dogwood Lane says: False. Following our “proper care instructions” there is no reason why your granddaughter could not use your heirloom bouquet.


Question – True or False?
 Are all silk arrangements whether purchased or rented, in my color and flower choices?
Dogwood Lane says: True. Your wedding flowers will be totally coordinated. Designed in your colors and flower choices.


Question – True or False?
Will I see the same rented arrangements in my girlfriends’ wedding pictures that I had?
Dogwood Lane says: False. DLCS never uses the exact same arrangements again; your design is unique to you, your personality – that is what custom is all about.


Question – True or False?
I want something totally different than just the typical cascade or hand-tied bouquet. I want the kind of bouquet that says, “Where did you have your flowers done?” Can DLCS design more than just the common bouquet?
Dogwood Lane says: True. Loretta, owner and designer of DLCS has been known to put together striking compositions. “It’s all in the finished look,” says Loretta. “If I want to see single poinsettia leaves painted purple in the middle of a spring bouquet – I make it happen”.
