What to Expect
When You Book With Us
Welcome and congratulations on your engagement!
At Anthology On Main, we focus on creating one-of-a-kind floral designs using the pages of your favorite books. Our handcrafted book page flowers are not just beautiful; they are one-of-a-kind keepsakes you'll enjoy for decades to come.
​
If you're at the beginning of your floral planning, we invite you to view our pricing guide.
Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or a full-scale celebration, our floral services are designed to meet you where you are. We offer two distinct experiences:
Full Event Floral Design: for custom florals across your entire wedding day.
Wedding Party Packages: a simplified option for wedding party flowers with our signature artistry — no consult needed.
​
No matter which path you choose, every piece is handcrafted from repurposed book pages, ensuring your flowers are not only timeless, but filled with meaning. Below, you’ll find an overview of our process and what you can expect when working with us.​​​
Availability Calendar
Full Event Floral Design
Like any good story, your wedding day deserves thoughtful attention. We take on a select number of full floral design weddings each season to ensure every detail is mindfully crafted. If you'd like us to be part of your day, we recommend reaching out early to reserve your day.
​
Wedding Party Packages
Availability is based on production capacity, rather than calendar limits. Ordering timelines vary by package, with our larger packages typically requiring up to 8 months lead time, while our smaller packages require only about 3 months. You’re welcome to place your order directly without a booking request.
​
Complimentary Consultation
Full Event Floral Design
A complimentary consultation is the first step. We take the time to understand your vision, preferences, and floral needs in order to create floral designs that express your one-of-a-kind story and style.
​
​
​
Wedding Party Packages
No consultation is needed. You’ll complete a customization form after checkout, selecting your color palette, floral varieties, book choices and other preferences. It’s fast, flexible, and still highly personal.
​​
​Whichever package you choose, don’t worry if all the details aren’t set yet. We’re here to support and guide you through every step of the process!
Quote & Deposit
Full Event Floral Design
After our consultation, you’ll receive a custom proposal outlining your floral design, a detailed quote, and next steps. A $500 deposit is required to secure your date on our calendar.
​
​
Wedding Party Packages
We offer clear, fixed pricing for all wedding party packages to simplify your planning process, with no deposit required. You may browse, select, and complete your purchase directly through our flower shop. Each listing provides pricing, options, and package information. As long as your wedding date meets the specified timeline requirements, you are all set to proceed.
Custom Designed
Our designs are intended to add meaning and memories to your wedding day through special touches that are unique to you. They are sentimental keepsakes you'll be able to cherish for a lifetime.
​
Regardless of the service you choose, your flowers are thoughtfully crafted using books that hold meaning for you, with personalized details that reflect your story. From palette to petal, each arrangement is designed with care, intention, and literary magic.
Payment Details
Full Event Floral Design
Once you've approved the final draft of your floral package, I’ll create a detailed custom listing in my shop just for you. You’ll receive an email with a direct link to your personal purchase page.
​
Final payment is due no later than 6 months before your wedding. Flexible payment plans are available to help make budgeting smooth and stress-free.
​
Wedding Party Packages
All orders are paid in full at checkout. With one transaction and a completed customization form, your floral story begins!
Delivery
Your flowers will be shipped via commercial carrier and will be scheduled to arrive two weeks to one month prior to your wedding date, depending on your selected package. For clients in the Kansas City area, pick-up can be arranged from my home studio.
Although all orders are packaged with extreme care, sometimes things go wrong in transit. The above timeline allows me to address any issues that arise during shipping.
(Thankfully, this is an extremely rare occurrence.)
Creation Process
Once your final payment is complete, I’ll begin the process of handcrafting your book page flowers with care and attention to detail.
​
The first step involves sourcing your selected titles. In support of sustainability, I seek out secondhand books whenever available and favor hardcover editions for their rich textures and lasting quality.
​
Throughout the creation process, you’ll receive photo updates so you can follow along as your florals come to life. You'll also have the opportunity to give final approval on your bridal bouquet before it's completed.

Client Testimonials
"From start to finish, Katie's attention to detail was second to none. Her clear love of her art comes across and she is dedicated to getting it exactly as you want it. Her workmanship is just incredible - she managed to get names like 'Mr Darcy' on tiny flower petals and her flowers are going to MAKE my wedding! She was very responsive via email, also. THANK YOU, Katie!"
Kimberly C.
"Katie was so easy to work with from the start. She asked a lot of questions and made suggestions when I wasn't sure what I wanted. The final decision was always mine though! I got EXACTLY what I wanted. A full wedding with NO real flower and so many keepsakes. I am happy to say that I will be using some of the flowers twice since we had to postpone the reception (thanks Covid) but are still having a ceremony next month. We are using my bouquet and some centerpieces. Then all will be stored for next year. Everything was shipped and packed with lots of care so I am comfortable storing it until next year."
"Katie made the most perfect flowers for my wedding. We got so many compliments and we have a beautiful bouquet we get to keep forever. Katie was easy to work with. I can't recommend her enough!"
