wedding & event questions
Why choose Studio Foliage?
When you entrust your wedding floral designs to Studio Foliage, you can finally lean in to that sigh of relief. One less thing on your plate. We’ve got you. Whether your involvement goes as far as selecting from our À La Carte menu or you invest in our Sur Mesure design service, you can trust that you are leaving your wedding in good hands. Our head designer Andrea and passionate team will create pure floral magic for one of the most special days of your life.
We create art with flowers as our paintbrush. When crafting any of our floral pieces, we meticulously choose the perfect blooms to create the exact look we want. Like an artist sorting through their paint kit for colours to capture the exact sunset before them. We have a specific feeling we try to evoke from our floral creations and to do so we search for the bloom with the exact curve to its stem we need or the perfect petal gradient.
What’s the difference between À La Carte and Sur Mesure?
While both of these services receive the same amount of care and pride in what is created, our creative process is dramatically different, as is the client’s involvement. In a nutshell, À La Carte is limited to the existing menu, whereas there are no limits with what we can create for Sur Mesure.
Our À La Carte service is for the couples who are looking to add a few floral touches to their weddings but don’t have the bandwidth to be involved in the design process. This service is as easy as online shopping and is ideal for couples who are either having intimate events or elopements. It is extra helpful if you are familiar with our style so you know what to expect when handing full creativity over to us.
There is no minimum investment for À La Carte.
Our Sur Mesure service is where a partnership can arise between you and Andrea. Sur Mesure weddings are for couples who want to develop a full design concept and who prioritise florals as a key element of their wedding. Andrea’s goal is to design events with heart and creativity, while honouring the unique vision of each client.
The minimum investment for Sur Mesure is 5,000$.

What does a Sur Mesure event include?

Can I bring my own vases?
For Sur Mesure we typically only use our own vases. We have a large selection of vessels and we will present to you the best fit for your specific aesthetic.
If you wanted to source your own vases, they have to be approved with us first to ensure that their shape and size can accommodate our design style.
We only work with our own vessels for À La Carte. When you are choosing your items you will see the choice of vessel (if applicable) with each item upon selection.
Do I get to keep the vases used for my event?
Our Sur Mesure weddings include a tear-down service where we retrieve all of our vessels and/or structures after your event. In an effort to reduce our ecological footprint we reuse whenever possible. These vessels can be purchased at an additional cost if you’d like to keep them or allow your guests to take home centrepieces.
À La Carte purchases include the vases and flower frogs that come with your arrangements. Check out our Flower Frog Recycling Program if you would like to bring the vessels back after your event.
Do you have arch structures to rent?
Yes. Our arch structures as well as any other floral installations that require assembly are available for our custom Sur Mesure services.
What is your cancellation policy?

Once the flowers leave our premises the client assumes full responsibility for the items. Studio Foliage will not be liable for any damages or diminished freshness.
Can I choose specific flowers for my event?
No. The design choices for our À La Carte menu is completely decided upon by two factors. Seasonal and market availability, as well as our head designer’s choice. If there is a specific, meaningful flower that is important for you to have in your bouquet then we encourage you to look at our Sur Mesure wedding services to see if this is a possibility.
I’m looking for more than just bouquets/personal flowers, table centres, etc., why don’t you offer arches or other statement pieces in À La Carte?
Arches and other installations are sculptural pieces and require our designers to be present for set up and adjustments. Because we do not offer delivery or set-up with À La Carte, unfortunately can’t offer larger pieces with this service.
Can I pay extra for À La Carte delivery?
Yes, you can reach out to us at bonjour@studiofoliage.com for a delivery quote once your order has been placed.
Note that we only offer deliveries for the greater Montreal area.
What if my event isn't a wedding?
No problem at all! Our florals are available to celebrate any event. Our À La Carte menu might be exactly what you need to dress up your tables, or inquire about Sur Mesure if you have your heart set on fully transforming a space.
Why can’t I add a regular bouquet or plants to my wedding order?
Our À La Carte menu is a separate inventory from our regular shop inventory. If you’d like another item, you’ll have to place a separate order with that item and simply pick the same pick up date. That being said, anything other than À La Carte can not be ordered more than a month in advance.
