Frequently Asked Questions

Blushing Peony offers a variety of wedding services including photography, videography, DJ services, and event planning.

We hesitate to call them packages. Weddings are NOT a one-size-fits-all outfit.
We can tell you that an initial consultation is $250. For that 1 hour consultation YOU (and your chosen others including your fiance, and/or mother and/or best attendant(s) direct the conversation to your wants and needs and hopes and dreams…we will listen and ask questions. After that we will design a first draft of how we can meet those needs and exceed those expectations. You decide if our vision matches your own and if the help we offer is valuable to you.
The pricing will be clear and the deliverables will be in writing. Generally our fees are between 15-20% of the service(s) you choose (and generally through our time, experience and expertise it works out to be both financially and time efficiently same or similar to DIY. That will be for you to learn and decide. 

Some brides want to let go of the minutiae. Some brides want meticulous attention to the same minutiae. Some brides prefer to remain intimately involved in every aspect and yet would also enjoy expert advising and connections and some friendly company on the wild ride. All are appropriate and all could benefit from a consultation and likely some assistance along their way.
Our pricing varies depending on the specific services you choose. It is generally about 15-20% of the total you would spend on that category (many factors including labor intensity, time commitment, and supplies…) whether it be comprehensive total wedding planning or just a couple of the aspects you’d like some advice, connection, or special attention and service on. It is also generally both priceless and equal to the service, as our knowledge and experience can save you time and money in commensurate amounts equal to our services.
Contact us to describe your perfect day and goals and needs…it’s a conversation we always love having. Every bride has her own unique hope, every couple has their own story to tell, and every wedding is a new expression of love and promise and hope…we’d love to hear another new dream. 

The deliverable we give every bride and groom after that 1 hour consultation is quite valuable. It will provide you with a vision-based road map to wedding bliss! You may or may not choose to go further (we think you will like what we bring) but that alone is worth much more than the initial fee. 

All the more reason to come and tell us your story. You are unique and your vision plan will be too.
