Wedding floral inquiries have a familiar shape: bouquets (bridal, bridesmaids, boutonnieres), centerpieces (12 to 15 tables, low or tall, votives or no), and installations (arch, ceremony piece, hanging). SleekAI reads your menu pages and quotes a bridal bouquet at $325, a bridesmaid at $95, low centerpieces at $145 each, and a 6-foot floral arch at $1,400. Couples land on a real range before the consult, not after.

Seasonal substitutions are where florist inboxes lose hours. A couple wants peonies for a November wedding; peonies aren't reliably available in November in most US markets. The honest answer is "we'd substitute garden roses and ranunculus for a similar look" with a sample image. Publish a substitution policy page and the bot quotes it. Couples appreciate the honesty; the consult call starts at the real conversation, not the disappointed one.

Installation scope is the third axis. A 6-foot arch with greenery and three focal blooms is a different job than a full floral arch dripping with hanging garlands. The bot reads your installation tiers and quotes accurately: $1,400 for greenery-and-focal, $2,800 for full coverage, $4,500 for asymmetrical with hanging elements. Couples see the range; the consult call is about choosing between tiers, not learning the price.

Floral inquiries have a flavor unique to the industry: every couple has a favorite flower, and roughly half of those favorites aren't reliably available in their wedding season. Peonies in November, garden roses in deep winter, lilacs in October, dahlias in February. The honest conversation about seasonal availability and substitutions has to happen somewhere, and right now it happens repeatedly in florist inboxes.

Generic chatbots can't help because they don't know your bloom calendar; they default to vague reassurance, which sets the couple up for disappointment at the consult. SleekAI reads your seasonal substitutions page and gives the honest answer at the inquiry stage. "Peonies aren't reliably available in November; we'd substitute garden roses and ranunculus for a similar look." Couples appreciate the early honesty far more than the delayed disappointment, and the consult call moves directly to designing around what will actually be in the bouquet.

The other inbox-clogger is per-piece pricing. Bouquets, centerpieces, arches, and installations each have their own pricing line, and quoting a 12-table wedding with a ceremony arch involves at least four separate lookups. A chatbot that reads the menu pages produces the right number in one message.

Bridal at $325, four bridesmaids at $95 each, twelve low centerpieces at $145 each, greenery-and-focal arch at $1,400. The couple sees the range; the consult call is about design direction; the proposal matches what the couple already saw. Installations are the third axis, and they're the part of the floral package that varies most by vision.

The bot reads the tier descriptions and quotes the right tier for the couple's reference photos and language. A "full lush arch" gets quoted as full coverage at $2,800; a "hanging asymmetrical with vines" gets quoted at $4,500. The right tier, the right price, before the consult.
