Mary Palmer

BY DESIGN WEDDING FLORALS commits to only one full-service wedding per calendar date. This includes delivery, set-up and transfer of florals from ceremony area to reception. A limited number of weddings are accepted for pick-up only. Drop-off delivery by arrangement. We also undertake destination and offshore weddings and would be pleased to discuss your needs.

HEAD DESIGNER Mary Palmer was born and grew up in Guildford, England. Her early work as a graphic designer in London encompassed visual promotions for musicians and recording artists as the Assistant Director of CBS U.K. A lifelong interest in nature led to formal training in the discipline of floral design and the preservation of stock.

Now a permanent resident of the United States, Mary has combined her talents and opened in Fort Collins a floral studio that features bridal work and wedding flowers.


Floral Design Profile

Within five days of her initial consultation with us, the Bride will receive a Floral Design Profile with reference to Wedding Party attire, colors, floral preferences, style, and theme. A photo of the Bride's gown is always helpful, as are color swatches and magazine clips. Generally, this information is collected at our studio, where we have a wide assortment of floral guides including our portfolio, wedding flower publications and illustrated stock references.

Wedding Flower Plan

At the same time, we will forward a Wedding Flower Plan which includes the Bride's floral budget and an itemized list of all her floral requirements. Each item carries a brief design description and cost. A Bride's budget will not affect the quality of our work, but it may determine the design options we are able to offer and will help us to meet her expectations.
