At Design Quintessentials, we know how important it is for you to be represented in your event.
To do that, you need to identify which elements of your personality and your interests are most important, and then weave them throughout your event.
The challenge is finding a designer who takes the time to truly understand you and what you want. It’s so easy to feel uncertain and overwhelmed.
We believe that finding a designer who gets you shouldn’t be difficult. Also, we understand how frustrating it is to waste precious time searching for that special designer, especially while you have so many other things to attend to.
That’s why we’ve dedicated ourselves to providing a design service that puts you at the center, creating luxury paper and floral designs that unite your wedding vision and your love story.
Here’s how we do it:
1. Consult: Using our in-depth questionnaire and a free live call, we’ll work with you to create a proposal for fresh floral and paper goods.
2. Customize: We’ll draw inspiration for your designs from a variety of sources, including samples from around the web, photos of past events, and professional color palettes.
Then, to ensure we’ve captured exactly what you’re looking for, we’ll use these materials to create a custom mood board for you to review
3. Create: Then, we’ll get to work by designing and producing your paper goods. And last, we’ll create your floral arrangements, and then deliver and set them up at your venue on the day of your event.
So, to avoid the worry about finding a designer who gets you, and instead spend more time looking forward to your event, book a free consultation today.

I’m Ching,
and I started Design Quintessentials in 2007 after I struggled to plan my own wedding. I wanted a single design for my wedding that truly represented me, and it was nearly impossible to find designers who could make it happen.
Plus, trying to communicate my vision to multiple vendors, on top of everything else I already had to do, was a struggle I wished I could avoid.
This is exactly the kind of struggle our clients have before working with us. And, it’s exactly why I’d love to help you plan your event.
After getting my degree in graphic design and completing training with an American Institute of Floral Design-certified teacher, I set out to create a single service that would capture my clients’ unique personalities and interests in a cohesive, elegant design.
Through our simple, three-step plan, I’ve created unique floral and paper designs for hundreds of events, from weddings, to birthdays, to styled shoots.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me at home with my husband, our two kids, and our cat Bella, and I’m probably cooking. Or eating. Or, one of my favorite things to do: sleeping!
If you’re looking for a designer who can capture who you truly are in floral and paper designs, I would love to work with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your consultations happen in person or virtually?
For the initial consultation, we’ll meet virtually or via phone. Once you’ve signed, we’ll schedule an in-depth meeting which may be in person.
Can you create mockups of my designs?
Because we have to purchase supplies, and mockups have no resale value, unfortunately we cannot provide mockups for you.
We will work incredibly hard to get your designs just right through our process, including providing a Mood Board for you to review.
Do you offer packages or is everything customized?
We don’t offer packages as we believe each client is unique. We’ll customize a Proposal just for you!
What happens after I get my quote?
We’ll send a Proposal for you to accept.
Proposals are valid for a limited time, usually two weeks. We’ll hold your date for you during this time.
If not booked within the deadline, we’ll release the date.
Do you have a wedding flower gallery I can see?
Our Portfolio is a great spot to see a curated selection of our designs.
Also, Instagram has most of our current work!
(Plus, remember to check out the Instagram Stores for even more behind-the-scenes content.)
How far in advance do I need to book?
Typically we book any where from 6 months to a year in advance. It also depends on the date and the season.
The earlier you book, the more likely it will be that we will have the date you want.
Can you recreate designs from photos?
We are happy to review any photos you have. However, photos are used for inspiration only.
We do not copy or replicate designs.
We will take everything you provide, add in our creativity and experience, and produce designs that are unique for you!
Is a consultation required?
Yes, our initial chat is where we discuss your budget and design options.
Are there delivery / setup / take down fees?
The fee ranges from 15% to 25% of your overall flower cost.
The cost varies by how much work is required, if we need to get extra assistants, how much setup time we have at the venue, etc.
Additionally, for transporting large centerpieces, there may be a charge for a large vehicle.
Ultimately, all fees will be outlined in your proposal for your review before booking!
Do you provide flowers for other events besides weddings?
