Decorators are not caterers. What we reserve is not a date, it is a crew and a warehouse of specific blooms.
Peak season: six months
November through February in India, book six months out. Not because the date fills, but because the palette does — a specific ivory rose in a specific quantity is a finite resource.
Off season: six weeks
Outside peak, six weeks is comfortable and four is workable. We have installed in eleven days, once, and would rather not again.
What booking early actually buys
Time for the design to change. Almost every client revises their palette at least once.
