Q: What are custom floral
reproductions?
A:
Custom floral reproductions utilize a
combination of high-quality man-made and natural
materials to create life-like representations of
natural flowers and plants. Each one of EP&P's
arrangements is designed and hand-made by EP&P
in Greenwich, CT;
no two are alike.
Q: Why are EP&P's creations so
life-like?
A:
EP&P uses the highest-quality materials
available, then carefully designs each floral
reproduction utilizing natural flowers as a
guide. EP&P's arrangements require a
considerable amount of time to create, and
natural elements such as bamboo, curly willow,
red bud, raffia, and mosses are incorporated in
the designs to enhance both their verisimilitude
and elegance.
Q: Do EP&P's arrangements require
care?
A:
The beauty of EP&P's floral reproductions is
that they are care-free, unlike real orchids and
other natural flowers which require watering,
feeding, re-potting, and specialized lighting.
An occasional gentle dusting is all that is
necessary.
Q: Does EP&P create custom
arrangements to-order?
A:
Yes! Since each of EP&P's creations is unique,
we are delighted to create arrangements to
customers' specifications and many of our repeat
customers avail themselves of this one-of-a kind
service.
Q: May I have an arrangement done
in my own container?
A:
Absolutely. Many of EP&P's customers provide us
with containers for their arrangements. Have a look
at the
Orchid Gallery
and the other
floral galleries for many such examples.
Q: How much do EP&P's creations
cost?
A:
EP&P's prices depend on a number of factors,
including the type, size, and number of stems,
leaves, and other design elements; the type and
size of container; the complexity of the design;
and the amount of time required to create the
arrangement. Most of EP&P's creations are
typically priced in the range of $85 to $300,
which is considerably lower than that of our
largest competitor, whose products are made on a
production line while ours are all custom (and
lovingly) hand-crafted.
Q: Where can EP&P's creations be
purchased?
A:
EP&P participates in many selling events such as
charity boutiques and other shows, principally
in the greater New York metropolitan area. We
also are delighted to sell directly to consumers
and welcome enquiries. Because our arrangements
are custom-made, we do not at present sell
through retail outlets but do welcome enquiries
from interested specialty retailers. Please
contact us
for further information.
Q: Do you provide gift packaging?
A:
Yes.
Contact us
for details.
Q: Do you ship?
A:
As a rule EP&P does not ship because the size,
delicate nature, unique design elements, and
extremely high quality of our designs requires
specialized boxing and shipping materials that,
together with insurance, increases the cost to
the purchaser substantially. With that caveat,
however, we will consider shipping certain types
of our creations upon request. Please
contact us for further information.
