Do you have a minimum?

We don’t have a strict minimum, but we do ask clients to consider typical floral investments when starting the conversation. For full-service wedding florals, the starting investment is:

• $8K for weddings in the San Diego area

• $10K for weddings on Oahu, Hawaii

• $15K for weddings on other Hawaiian islands (2025 pricing)

This generally covers floral designs for a wedding with a small guest count of about 60 - 70 people. However, every event is unique, so we encourage you to reach out with your vision. If you’re unsure about your floral budget, consulting with your planner can be a helpful first step.

For elopements (without installations), intimate events, or corporate events, these numbers don’t apply—please inquire for a custom quote.

I’m not sure exactly what I want yet. Can you help me figure it out?

Absolutely! We’re here to guide you through the process. Our goal is to understand your vision, venue, season, and other key details to create something that feels just right for your event. Take a look at our Featured Work to see how we bring ideas to life.

What’s your booking process leading up to the event day?

You can find our full process here. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at hello@ninekole.com.

How far in advance should I reach out?

We typically open our calendar about a year in advance to make sure our pricing reflects the current market. If there’s a significant increase before your event, we’ll adjust accordingly and keep you in the loop. If that happens, you’ll have the option to scale back on florals if needed.

If your event is more than a year away, we can put a soft hold on your date and check back in as it gets closer. In the meantime, feel free to reach out anytime to discuss your event!

How does pricing work?

Our quote includes the cost of arrangements and installations, along with additional fees to bring your vision to life. These may include:

• Labor (typically 25%–35% of the floral total)

• Delivery & setup

• Breakdown & disposal

• Travel (for events outside the San Diego area)

Do you offer mockups or samples before the event?

Yes. We offer physical mockups upon request for a fee, typically about 1- 2 month before the wedding. This timing allows us to use the same or similar flowers that will be available for your event. Pricing is based on the actual arrangement cost, plus an additional fee depending on the location.

We also offer digital mockups as a more budget-friendly alternative, providing a visual representation of key design elements for a smaller fee.

Do you deliver an arrangement for a special occasion?

Yes! We offer floral arrangements for special occasions. Please inquire at hello@ninekole.com or send us a DM on Instagram to check availability.
