Frequently Asked Questions.

What is event design—and what do you actually do?

Event design is the visual and atmospheric heartbeat of your event. It goes far beyond centerpieces or color palettes. It’s about shaping the mood, energy, and experience of your celebration through thoughtful design.

At A Midnight Modern, our approach is floral-forward, detail-rich, and emotionally driven. We blend florals, texture, lighting, layout, and intentional styling to transform space and create a world around your story. Whether we’re designing a wedding, brand activation, or social celebration, our work is immersive, sculptural, and meant to be felt.

What types of events do you design?

We specialize in immersive, visually driven experiences—weddings, quinceañeras, milestone celebrations, corporate events, private parties, brand activations, and more. If you're dreaming of an event that feels bold, layered, and unforgettable, you're in the right place.

Where are you located, and do you travel?

We're based in San Antonio, Texas—and we love to travel. We design for venues across Texas, throughout the U.S., and worldwide. Wherever your story is unfolding, we’ll meet you there.
Travel and accommodation fees vary depending on the location.

What is your minimum budget?

Our full-service event design begins at $10,000. This minimum reflects the level of customization, floral artistry, production, and creative direction our events require. Every proposal is tailored to your specific vision, needs, and priorities.

What services do you offer?

In addition to Full-Service Event Design, we offer:
• Design Consulting
• Creative Styling for Industry Professionals
• Custom Installations

You can explore these in more detail on our Services Page.

Do you offer à la carte floral design?

No. Because floral design is a core element of our event design process, we do not offer florals as a standalone service. All floral design is custom-created as part of a larger visual concept or full-service project.

How far in advance should I book?

We prefer clients book at least 9–12 months in advance for full-service events. However, we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines on a case-by-case basis.
For smaller-scale projects or design consultations, shorter lead times may be available.
Because we take on a limited number of events each year, early inquiries are highly encouraged.

Do you provide planning or coordination?

We do not offer full planning or day-of coordination, but we love collaborating with planners. If you need a referral, we’re happy to recommend professionals who align with our aesthetic and communication style.

What’s your design process like?

Every project begins with a consultation. From there, we develop a custom concept and proposal, followed by a collaborative refinement phase. Once booked, we dive into detailed design development—moodboards, sourcing, mockups, and production.
We guide you through every step to ensure a cohesive, elevated, and emotionally resonant result.
