FLOWERS

All flowers seasonal and non-seasonal are subject to availability and freshness and this is dependent on a variety of factors – weather, transportation, delays, disasters etc. These conditions may require us to make substitutions to assure maximum quality for your event. Rose Decor Styling will take the utmost care to maintain style, theme and colour scheme whilst using flowers of equal or greater value. We also reserve the right to artistic license in design and this allows us to adjust the selection of flowers used serving you to the highest of our ability. All rental items remain the property of Rose Decor Styling and will be clearly identified in your hire agreement. 
We must order flowers for your event well in advance. Final numbers must be submitted to us at least 6 weeks in advance. There is a 4 week deadline prior to your event for making minor changes (1 or 2 items).  If no hire items are used, all fresh flowers used may become the property of the client once delivered to the venue, and therefore the disposal of such flowers become your responsibility. Any arrangements for Rose Decor Styling to remove flowers after your event must be discussed and agreed with Rose Decor Styling before your event.

VENUE STYLING AND DESIGN PACKAGES

Rose Decor Styling reserves the right to alter or adapt your final design during set up if unforeseen circumstances arise such as changes to the layout of a room made by the venue, accidental damage to any decor, an unforeseen adverse risk to the safety of our staff or your guests, or to comply with the safety regulations of your venue. Every effort will be made to keep the overall look and style of your decor as similar to the agreed design as possible. 
Rose Decor Styling regularly takes photographs of the events which we have been involved in. These images may then be used selectively during client consultations, on our website, as part of our portfolio, and shared on our social media platforms. At no point are your full details attached to these images and your privacy is always protected. It is assumed that you agree with this use of our images unless you tell us otherwise in writing.

PERIOD OF HIRE 

All hired items remain the property of Rose Decor Styling, including any glassware and containers. During the period of hire, the hirer will be solely responsible for all hired goods. This means that the person who has signed the booking form is accepting responsibility for all hired items, their safe keeping and their safe usage, this includes before, during and after use, and until they are collected by Rose Decor Styling. Collection of hired items will be the day after your event, unless otherwise specified. Items should be ready for collection from 0800 on the day after your event, a collection time will be arranged with the venue on set-up. The final number of hired items used in your event is the number of items we expect to collect after your event. On collection, if any items are missing or broken then this will be the responsibility of the client to replace the cost of each item. 

Rose Decor Styling will endeavour to fit with the set-up and collection times as stated by your venue and the needs of the other suppliers. We will arrange a set up time with your venue the week of your event. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that the venue is clearly instructed so that these terms and conditions are met. Additional visits to a venue to collect missing items will be charged for and invoiced to the client after the event if items are not available at the agreed time. 

—————

ISSUES RELATING TO SET-UP 

If a venue is not ready at the pre-arranged time for the Rose Decor Styling team to set up, then Rose Decor Styling may not be able to complete your set up and will not be held accountable if this is the case. Please inform us at the time of booking if your wedding styling involves a room being used for your wedding ceremony which is then being turned around into your wedding reception, as this will impact on the available time to set up your decor. We will need to know as far in advance as possible the time at which we can access your wedding ceremony and wedding reception rooms or spaces, to allow us to plan the set up. 

—————

EXCLUSIVITY

UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES (FORCE MAJEURE) & CANCELLATION 

 

Whilst we agree to use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that the service agreed between Rose Decor Styling and The Client is fully operational and error-free we cannot guarantee this. Acts of God, sudden ill health and adverse weather conditions may affect our ability to deliver the Rose Decor Styling product or service. However, in cases of adverse weather we will remain in contact with the event commissioner in the lead up to the event and, if the event is out of season, we will discuss a contingency plan with the event commissioner. We have contingency plans for such occasions of sudden ill health. If Rosie Obeney of Rose Decor Styling is unable to personally complete or deliver the agreed service for your event, then this will be completed by a member of our experienced freelance team or outsourced accordingly. Ultimately, we can accept no responsibility for Acts of God (Force majeure) sudden ill health or adverse weather conditions and if we are prevented from providing the Rose Decor Styling service or product as agreed, then we can only offer a refund of full monies paid, excluding the non-refundable booking fee. 

If an event is due to held be outside, but a sudden change in weather prevent this from occurring, or do not allow Rose Decor Styling to provide the set up agreed in service, then the service may have to be moved inside if applicable, no action can be taken against Rose Decor in this circumstance.

(a) strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action; or
(b) civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war; or
(c) fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster; or
(d) impossibility of the use of railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport; or
(e) impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks.

Our obligations under these Terms are suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will extend the time to perform these obligations for the duration of that period. We will take reasonable steps to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these Terms can be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

In the event of a postponement of the event, Rose Decor Styling will endeavour to change your booking, where possible, to your alternative date. An alternative date cannot however be guaranteed. 
If the booking is cancelled after payment of the non-refundable booking fee and confirmed in writing by the client, at any point up to 6 weeks before the event, no further payments will be taken, and the contract will be deemed cancelled. 
If the booking is cancelled within 6 weeks of the event, 50% of the remaining balance must be paid. 
If the booking is cancelled after full payment has been made, the cancellation will result in the forfeit of the booking fee and all monies paid.

 

In the event that the government takes steps to restrict the movement or assembly of people due to an outbreak of any kind, including COVID-19, our first priority must be public health and safety. Therefore, Rose Decor Styling regretfully will not be able to attend your event, if to do so would put us in violation of government issued advice or orders which could invalidate the insurance held by Rose Decor Styling. As stated above, Rose Decor Styling will endeavour to provide the agreed service on a new arranged date. Rose Decor Styling will not be held responsible for failing to provide the service if such restrictions are issued by the government. Nor will any refunds be issued if you choose to proceed on the stated date in violation of official advice. 

If any party of this agreement is informed to self-isolate due to contamination of any outbreak, then the above conditions apply, and either the service may be postponed, or in the case of Rose Decor Styling not being able to personally complete or deliver the agreed service for your event, every reasonable effort will be made to source a replacement florist, but if (and only if) this is not possible, then Rose Decor Styling agree to refund monies paid by the client. 

It is the responsibility of the client to inform Rose Decor Styling if any party of this agreement and/or guest at their event has been informed to self-isolate so appropriate consideration can be taken on how to proceed accordingly. 

Evidence of venue cancellation which means the event cannot go ahead will be required in writing by the venue.  

Please note that any postponement may incur extra costs as flower prices differ every year.
