How do fresh flowers, artificial flowers and rented arrangements change a décor plan?

Answer

Direct answer

Fresh, artificial and rented arrangements differ in handling, replacement and return responsibilities, so confirm which materials are included.

Ask when arrangements are installed, how substitutions will be approved and whether vases, stands or flowers may be taken home. Discuss heat, water, access and removal with the venue rather than comparing appearance alone. A fresh-flower label does not specify every component or guarantee the pictured result. The useful comparison is the actual delivered design and its care and ownership terms.
