What to Expect
When You Book With Me
Welcome and congratulations on your engagement!
At Anthology On Main, I focus on creating one-of-a-kind floral designs using the pages of your favorite books. My 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, I invite you to view my pricing guide.
Whether you're planning a full-scale celebration or an intimate elopement, my floral services are designed to meet you where you are. I offer three distinct experiences:
Full Event Floral Design: for custom florals across your entire wedding day.
Wedding Party Packages: a simplified option for just wedding party flowers with my signature artistry — no consult needed.
A La Carte: choose from two fixed designs, each customizable to your color palette and book choice(s). Best for small budgets or shorter timelines.
No matter which path you choose, every piece is handcrafted from your favorite book pages, ensuring your flowers are not only timeless, but filled with meaning. Below, you’ll find an overview of my process and what you can expect when working with me.
Availability Calendar &
Ordering Timelines
Full Event Floral Design
Like any good story, your wedding day deserves thoughtful attention. As a solo-artist, I take on a maximum of two weddings each month to ensure every detail is mindfully crafted. If you'd like Anthology On Main to be part of your day, I recommend inquiring a year or more in advance of your wedding date.
Wedding Party Packages
Ordering timelines vary by package, with my larger packages typically requiring up to 8 months lead time, while my smaller packages require only about 3 months. Place your order directly without the need for a booking request!
A La Carte
Ordering timelines vary by item, with my large bridal bouquets typically requiring up to 2 months lead time, while my smaller items require only a few weeks. Please note that timelines are compounded (added together) when ordering multiple items.
Complimentary Consultation
Full Event Floral Design
A complimentary consultation is the first step. I take the time to understand your vision, preferences, and floral needs in order to create a floral design that expresses your one-of-a-kind story and style, all while remaining within your budget.
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. Once received, I'll create a custom color design for your package.
A La Carte
No consultation is needed. You’ll complete a customization form during checkout, selecting your color palette and book choices. It’s fast, flexible, and still highly personal.
Whichever package you choose, don’t worry if all the details aren’t set yet. I'm 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 tailored quote, and next steps. A $500 deposit is required to secure your date on my calendar. Due to the limited number of weddings taken on each month, it is highly recommended to place your deposit as soon as you know Anthology On Main is the right florist for you.
Wedding Party Packages
I 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 my flower shop. Each listing provides pricing, options, and detailed package information. As long as your wedding date meets the specified timeline requirements, you are all set to proceed.
A La Carte
I offer clear pricing for every item in the a la carte menu. With multiple styles and sizes of bouquets, boutonnieres, as well as centerpieces, you'll be able to choose what works best for your wedding needs and budget.
Designed Just for You
My 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 a minimum of 6 to 8 months before your wedding, depending on the scope of your floral package. Flexible payment plans may be 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!
A La Carte
All orders are paid in full at checkout. With one transaction, your florals are checked off your to-do list!
If you ever have questions or need assistance with customization options, please reach out. I'm ready to help and quick to respond!
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 for custom designs, 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.
For additional behind-the-scenes glimpses, follow along on Instagram.

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!"
