Travel costs (trasferta in Italian) cover everything needed to work away from the studio: fuel and tolls, vans, hours on the road, meals and overnight stays for the team, and in places such as Venice, Capri or the islands, boats, ferries or porters too. It can be a flat fee or worked out by distance and number of people.
It weighs heavily at destination weddings, when you choose a florist from another region or the venue is hard to reach. A local professional usually spends less on travel, but may not work in the style you want. The guide to extra costs in floral design explains the items; the one on the destination wedding flower budget shows how much it can add; the sample quotes show it in practice.
What to ask: how it is calculated, whether it includes the site visit, whether it changes for a set-up spread over two days.
