KOKO Weddings + Events FAQ

 

GENERAL // 

  • What season are you currently booking events for? 
    • We are booking for 2023 ONLY at the current time. Please do not inquire for your 2024 event until we announce openings for that season. Thank you for understanding! 
  • What is the difference between a Siren Floral Co Event and a Koko by Siren Floral Shop Event? 
    • Koko by Siren Floral Shop events are created using "Siren Floral Co" style flowers and design, but managed through the shop and led by our Shop Team in a much more streamlined process! Koko Events offer more variation in price points while still including customization + luxury floral designs for your day! 
    • Siren Floral Co weddings include everything offered for Koko shop weddings, at a grand scale with more detailed offerings such as:
      • a floral mock-up at our studio
      • multiple design edits as needed
      • access to our full rental library of candles/vessels
      • more luxe/premium blooms featured in designs
    • While Koko by Siren Floral Shop events are exclusive to San Diego County, there is no travel limit to events booked through Siren Floral Co. 

  • What is the difference between an A la Carte order and a Full Bloom order? 
    • A la Carte orders are perfect for smaller, effortless events that need just a touch of florals, or couples looking for a few personal pieces for their wedding. These events do NOT include any on-site set up, and instead include floral essentials for any event (bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, + more) + pickup and delivery services as needed. A straightforward + easy way to enjoy specialty florals on your event day! 
    • Full Bloom florals are great for those seeking to enjoy the unique + garden style florals iconic to Siren Floral Co., but in a simplified + more streamlined way. This package includes custom floral choices, a quote built just for you, and allows us to create day-of floral installation artwork. *At this time, these events are only available for the greater Southern California area :)*

    • Both our Koko A la Carte and Koko Full Bloom orders are perfect for floral orders ranging from $700-$20,000

    • Not for designer's choice! You can order just one bouquet or corsage and we will create it with a "designer's choice" palette 
    • For custom orders, our minimum is $700. 
    • Our minimum is what allows us to buy specific flowers that best fit your color palette and design style for your event!
