FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Yes. Anomis Flowers regularly provides wedding and event flowers across London, Hertfordshire, Surrey, and the inner Home Counties. If your venue is further afield, I am always happy to discuss it. Any travel fees will be clearly outlined within your proposal so you have full transparency from the outset.

I typically travel up to approximately 1.5 hours from my studio in High Barnet (EN5) and from New Covent Garden Flower Market. This comfortably covers London, Surrey, and Hertfordshire.

For events outside this radius, travel and accommodation are quoted separately. Simply mention your venue at the enquiry stage and I will confirm availability and any associated costs.

For bespoke wedding flowers in London and the surrounding counties, we recommend booking 6–12 months in advance, particularly for peak season dates. For The Seasonal Edit, 3–4 months is usually ideal. If your wedding is sooner, do get in touch — we’ll always tell you honestly what may still be possible.

For bespoke collections, we shape your floral palette together through the Design Discovery process, always guided by the season and your venue.

For The Seasonal Edit, you can share a broad colour direction, but individual flower varieties are selected by Simona based on what is at its best — that seasonal approach is part of what makes the work feel so considered.

We work on full-service projects only, managing sourcing, design, and installation. Flowers cannot be supplied by clients, as quality and consistency are carefully controlled at every stage — botanical empathy begins with grower selection, not just the final arrangement.

Our wedding collections begin at £1,700 for intimate celebrations. For weddings in London with  ceremony flowers, bridal party flowers, drinks reception styling, and reception centrepieces,  investment typically sits between £3,500 and £7,000. Larger installations, multiple spaces, or more  complex design sit above this. 

Every wedding receives a custom proposal built around your venue, season, guest count, and  vision. The collection tiers provide a pricing framework, but nothing is pulled from a template. 

Your celebration is specific. The proposal should be too. 

No. The initial design consultation — typically 30 to 60 minutes — is complimentary for serious  enquiries. 

If you want multiple revisions or significant design development before committing, we may suggest a  paid design retainer (£200–£500), which is credited toward your final invoice if you proceed.

If your budget aligns with our starting points, yes — we’ll build a proposal that creates the most impact  within your investment. Giving us your budget ceiling at the outset helps us design for what’s  genuinely achievable rather than presenting something that misses the mark. 

If your budget falls below our minimums, we’ll tell you honestly rather than stretch the numbers in a  way that compromises quality for everyone.

Yes, for all weddings — especially at venues we haven’t worked in before. Light, architecture,  logistics, and venue-specific requirements all directly shape the design. 

For venues we know well, an additional walkthrough may not be necessary, though we’re always  happy to visit. For destination weddings, site visit travel is factored into your bespoke proposal. 

A non-refundable booking fee of 30% secures your wedding date for bespoke collections. For The Seasonal Edit, the booking fee is £400. The remaining balance is due four weeks before your wedding.

Bank transfer (preferred). Card payments are accepted via payment link — a processing fee applies. We don’t accept cheques.

Payment plans in instalments are available. We’re happy to discuss what works for your schedule.

As much or as little as you’d like. Many clients prefer to trust the process — that’s what you’re investing in — and stay involved at three key points: the initial consultation, proposal approval, and final confirmation.

If you’d like more touchpoints along the way, whether that’s mood boards, seasonal updates, or regular check-ins, we’re always happy to shape the process around you.

Before final payment (14 days prior), changes are absolutely welcome and your proposal will be updated to reflect them.

After final payment, we’ll always do our best to accommodate smaller tweaks, though larger changes can be more limited depending on grower orders and logistics.

On the day itself, everything is delivered and installed as agreed — we build in flexibility during the planning stage so you can feel confident everything is taken care of.

Booking date retainer (non-refundable): 

– 10% if booked 12+ months in advance 

– 30% if booked under 12 months 

Final payment is due 14 days before your wedding date. 

Cancellations: 

– More than 30. Days notice of the wedding date we will charge on time spent basis plus the  cost of any materials purchased, or retain your booking date retainer, whichever is the  greatest sum. 

– Less than 30 days notice of the wedding date the full fees detailed as per agreement Date changes: if we have availability on your new date, we transfer the booking with no penalty. We  strongly recommend wedding insurance to protect your investment. 

Yes. Bridal bouquets and personal flowers can be delivered to your hotel or getting-ready location, typically the morning of ceremony.

Every proposal is different, and the floristry follows the shape of what you are planning rather than a standard format.

You bring the location, the timing, and the feeling you want to create. I design around that — using seasonal blooms and candlelight to build something that feels genuinely romantic and personal, rather than staged. The setup is completed before your moment, ensuring everything is in place when you arrive.

Whether I remain on site afterwards depends on your schedule, the venue’s logistics, and your preference. This is agreed during the briefing process.

Discretion is handled as a matter of course. If you are working through a venue concierge or planning coordinator, I can liaise entirely through them, ensuring there is no contact with your partner before the proposal.

Ideally, two to four weeks. This allows time to source the right seasonal flowers and plan the logistics of the venue setup.

For genuine last-minute proposals — a week or less — you are welcome to contact me directly by phone or WhatsApp. If the date and scale allow, I will always do my best to make it possible.

We work across a range of events, from intimate private gatherings to large-scale brand activations.

• Corporate: Product launches, brand activations, VIP dinners, photography installations
• Private celebrations: Milestone birthdays, anniversary dinners, intimate gatherings
• Proposals & engagements: Romantic installations and engagement parties
• Ongoing installations: Monthly or seasonal arrangements for businesses and private homes

Investment typically starts from £800 for proposals, with larger-scale corporate work from £5,000+.

The philosophy remains the same — seasonal integrity where possible, botanical empathy, and architectural composition.

There are, however, a few practical differences:

• Timeline: Events typically require 2–6 weeks’ notice, whereas weddings are usually planned 3–12 months in advance
• Scale: Events can range from smaller installations (such as proposals from £800) to large brand activations (£5,000+)
• Approach: Corporate work often requires brand alignment, while private events tend to be more personal and expressive

Regardless of scale or investment, the design standards and attention to detail remain the same.

Yes. Ongoing installations start from £200 per week.

This is designed for businesses that view floristry as an essential part of their environment — photography studios, creative agencies, boutique hotels, and client-facing showrooms.

Seasonal arrangements are delivered and refreshed on a schedule that suits your space and workflow.

We will always work to find suitable, high-quality blooms that sit within your brand palette.

Nature only offers a certain range of tones, so exact Pantone matches are not always possible. However, we work thoughtfully within colour families and seasonal availability to create something cohesive and considered.

For larger activations and private celebrations, 4–12 weeks is the ideal window. For smaller or more  intimate events, 1–4 weeks works. For genuinely urgent situations, we can deliver considered event  floristry in as little as three to five days, depending on scale,availability and what the season is  offering at that point. 

Short-notice bookings don’t carry a surcharge — what they mean is we work with the best of what’s  available right then rather than specifying varieties weeks ahead. For many events, that produces a  stronger result anyway. 

Yes. Public liability insurance is in place at £5 million cover for all events. If your venue, brand, or production company requires confirmation of cover, a certificate of insurance, or a specific level of indemnity in writing, let me know at the point of enquiry and I will provide documentation directly.

Yes. Every quote from Anomis Flowers includes delivery, labour, installation, and collection as clearly itemised line items. You will always know the full investment before confirming — nothing is added after the fact.

For events, delivery and installation are typically charged from £150 and are listed separately within the quote, ensuring a clear distinction between flowers and service costs. This also makes it easier to compare proposals from different florists on a like-for-like basis.

After the event, flowers are available for guests or clients to take home. Any remaining arrangements are donated to The Flower Bank in Barnet and Floral Angels at New Covent Garden Market, both of which redistribute flowers to care homes, hospices, and community spaces.

If your brand or organisation has a specific preference for what happens to the flowers after the event, this can be discussed at the briefing stage.

For larger installations and activations, yes — and I will often request one. Venue access, ceiling height, lighting conditions, load-in windows, and the location of power, water, and service entrances all directly affect how a design is built and how smoothly installation runs. Getting these details wrong on the day creates challenges that no amount of beautiful flowers can resolve.

For smaller events at familiar London venues, a site visit may not be necessary. If the venue is somewhere I have not worked before, I will assess this on a case-by-case basis and discuss it with you during the briefing process.

Anomis is a wedding and event floristry studio based in North London, founded by Simona Munteanu.  We work with couples and businesses across London, Surrey, and Hertfordshire, and take on  destination weddings across the UK and Europe. 

Our approach is grounded in three things: seasonal integrity (working with flowers at their natural  peak), botanical empathy (treating flowers as living beings, not props), and architectural composition  (designing installations that belong in the space, not just decorate it). 

Simona brings twelve years of senior hospitality management and five years as lead florist at some of  London’s most recognised venues — the V&A, Natural History Museum, The Wallace Collection ,  Somerset House, London Livery Halls, Claridge’s, Syon Park and Hedsor House

We’re based in North London (EN5). Our primary service area covers London, Surrey, and  Hertfordshire extending across London Home Counties. 

We also take on weddings and events across the UK, and destination work throughout Europe. If  you’re planning something outside our local area, get in touch early — logistics and timeline  requirements scale accordingly. 

Most weddings happen on Saturdays, which means we’re typically installing on Friday evening or  Saturday morning and striking Saturday night. Sunday events are common for corporate work and  private celebrations.

Anomis is Simona spelled backwards. Deliberate, simple, and easy to remember. The best things  usually are.

It means treating flowers as living beings with their own form, rhythm, and character — not as  materials to force into shapes they weren’t built to hold. 

In practice: we honour natural growth patterns, choose varieties that suit your venue’s conditions,  work with what’s genuinely in season, and build installations that let flowers breathe rather than  suffocate them.

It’s a philosophy rooted in Romanian garden wisdom, passed down from Simona’s grandparents.

Our work is on Instagram (@anomisflowers) and throughout this website. Recent work includes  weddings at Four Seasons Tower Bridge and Merchant Taylors’ Hall, and corporate projects with IT  Luggage and Brand Photography studios. 

We’re selective about the work we take on, so the portfolio grows with intention rather than volume. If  you’re looking for thousands of past weddings, we’re early in that journey. If you’re looking for  considered, architectural floristry from someone with serious venue experience — we can deliver that.

Yes. We work regularly with planners and value collaborative relationships. Planners who care about  seasonal integrity and craft are the ones we work best with.

For weddings: yes, all vessels and mechanics are included. They remain ours — we remove  everything after the celebration. Personal flowers (bouquets, buttonholes) are yours to keep. 

For events: same. If you want to purchase specific vessels to keep, we can source these and adjust  pricing. 

Monthly installations: vessels stay with us and are refreshed with each delivery.

Personal flowers from weddings are yours. Installation florals are removed by us unless you’ve  arranged otherwise. 

Many couples choose to donate installation florals. We work with Floral Angels, based at New Covent  Garden Flower Market, who collect, re-bunch, and deliver to care homes, hospitals, and hospices  across London. If you’d like us to coordinate this, we’re happy to arrange it. 

For events, we can also coordinate with The Flower Bank in Barnet. Any preference for post-event  flower handling can be discussed at the briefing stage. 

In 15+ years across hospitality and events at premium London venues, Simona has navigated every  scenario you can imagine — last-minute venue changes, weather, timing shifts, logistical surprises.

We build contingency into every plan: backup blooms for unexpected damage, early arrival to handle  setup issues, a direct number for day-of questions. If something goes wrong, we fix it. You won’t know  there was a problem.
