General Questions
Have a question - don't worry, we got this!
How is Oak and Bee different from other florists?
We are not your average florist, we want to create a really customized and one-of-a-kind experience. We like to use flowers fresh, dried, edible, or otherwise, and embrace different, colors, shapes, textures, and plants to make your florals truly one of a kind! And we are here to support you from the start of our planning process to the finish, where we can preserve your bouquet and memories for the future!
Can Oak and Bee work with unique or rare plants?
Let's talk! We will work with you to look at what you are hoping for and bring our floral knowledge to the table to ensure that whatever plant or flower we are thinking about can last the whole day!
Where is Oak and Bee based? Do Oak and Bee deliver?
We are based in Burlington and will do free delivery for Chittenden County, and we may charge a fee for delivery beyond that depending on the floral package. Looking at a Wedding in New Hampshire, Maine, or New York let chat to see what Oak and Bee can do! We love doing weddings in Portland Maine and off of Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire.
