FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Every beautiful event begins with a conversation.
Whether you're envisioning an intimate dinner, a wedding weekend, or a brand celebration, this page answers the questions we hear most: how our design process unfolds, what's included in our floral and event design, how booking and investment work, and what to expect from your first consultation through the final candle lighting.
Don't see your question here? Reach out. We'd love to hear about your vision.
Designs by Oochay offers both. We provide standalone luxury floral design (bouquets, centerpieces, ceremony arches, installations) for clients who already have a planner or venue coordinator, and full-service event and floral design for clients who want one team to handle the full creative vision—concept, decor, florals, and installation—from start to finish. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the level of service that fits your event.
Our full-service includes concept development and theme creation; a complete design board with renderings; sourcing and styling of decor elements; all floral design and installation work; and on-site setup and styling, so your vision comes to life exactly as planned.
Custom bouquets and boutonnieres, ceremony arches and aisle decor, reception centerpieces, floral ceilings and walls, hanging installations, floral backdrops, and sourcing of premium and exotic blooms. We also handle on-site setup, styling, and breakdown so you don’t have to think about logistics on the day of your event.

Designs by Oochay is based in Atlanta, Georgia and Washington, DC, and we serve clients nationwide, including destination weddings.
Yes, we design events outside the Atlanta and DC markets nationwide. Reach out with your venue and location so we can discuss travel logistics in your proposal.
We strongly encourage you to book your event and floral designer once you have secured a venue, typically 12-18 months for peak wedding season. This gives us adequate time to design and source for your event without incurring hefty costs.
After you submit an inquiry, a member of our team will reach out to schedule your initial consultation, understand your event vision, and make sure we are aligned. Afterward, you’ll receive a design proposal and contract. We then schedule a design meeting to address all your concerns, answer any questions, and provide feedback on the proposal until you are satisfied with the visual direction. Once you're satisfied, we execute the contract. The final stage is the venue walkthrough in the months or weeks leading up to the event day.
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage it. While we love when clients arrive with a clear vision, we’re also equipped to build a full concept from scratch based on a conversation alone, with no reference images required.
Our work has been featured in The New York Times, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides, WedLuxe, Inside Weddings, and Carats & Cake. We were also named a Washingtonian Weddings 2026 Best Vendor and included in Brides’ directory of Black-owned wedding businesses to hire for your event.

Yes. Every proposal is built around your color palette, venue, and personal style, from soft neutral “quiet luxury” palettes to bold, vibrant statement designs.
