Frequently Asked Questions
We're unclear about what we want in terms of decor, where should we start?
There are a number of considerations when it comes to selecting an overall theme.
We suggest starting with the venue. Our approach is to arrive at a design that complements, rather than competes with your venue's style and unique details.
Designs for outdoor events are limited to specific styles to account for natural elements (wind, heat), staging ground (lawn versus concrete), staging size, and a rain plan.
Ultimately, your decor plan should be in sync with all aspects of your event, including your catering selections, bridal attire, and venue. Your selections are indicative of you! We will leverage these details and curate options specific to your event needs.

Do you provide personal flowers for bridal party (Bouquets, Boutonnieres, Corsages)?
Yes, a la carte options are available with wedding decor or a reception booking.
Do you provide decor for smaller home celebrations?
For celebrations that do not require a full decor setup, we have an a-la-carte catalog where you can select items for your event needs. Delivery for a-la-carte options must be located within 25 miles of our warehouse in Cinnaminson, NJ. However, pickup options are available.
Do you visit the venue prior to the event?
Yes, we will schedule one to two venue visit(s) upon a signed agreement and deposit with you or your event planner. Typically, the first venue visit will involve our team gathering venue specifications (for new venues we have not worked with). The second venue visit will involve a final walkthrough prior to the event date with you and/or your event planner, on request.
Do you take on multiple events in a weekend?
We selectively work on a limited number of events per year, along with no more than two wedding client deliveries per event weekend.
Who will be on-site during the delivery?
Your lead designer or lead account manager will be present along with production staff during your setup.
Can I still receive a quote if I'm not sure of my guest count?
In order to provide you with an accurate quote, we require an approximate guest count. If you're not sure, we can use your venue's minimum as a starting point and adjust once a confirmed count is available.
Can you provide our venue with insurance certification?
Yes, we are fully insured.
I don't have an idea yet of what I am looking for, can I still reserve the date?
Yes, decor planning is a process.
We will narrow down options for your selection that best coordinate with your venue, theme, dinner menu, and bridal attire for each event.
Can I virtually browse your collections of mandaps, furniture, centerpieces etc?
Yes. Please email us at info@laxstates.com or fill out an inquiry form to learn more.
