Do I Really Need Wedding Ceremony Flowers?

Short answer… yes! 

Your wedding ceremony flowers are so much more than decoration; they frame the moment you say “I DO” and create a stunning backdrop for the photos you’ll cherish for years to come. Whether you envision a floral arch, an elegant chuppah, or altar baskets for a church, flowers have the power to transform your ceremony space into something truly special and memorable. And the best part? We can customize your flowers to fit your unique vision and style! 

What Are The Most Popular Wedding Ceremony Arrangements?

Every couple’s vision is unique, and to help with inspiration, we’re sharing some of our most popular ideas for your wedding ceremony!

• Wedding Arches: A natural wood arch is one of our favorites for both indoor and outdoor ceremonies. Whether you love garden-inspired flowers or classic roses, we’ll create a design that perfectly complements your theme and style
• Chuppahs: A beautiful and traditional wedding deserves a memorable chuppah. One of our most requested designs is our acrylic chuppah adorned with flowers. This style is a modern twist on a traditional arrangement!
• Altar Baskets: Perfect for church weddings, these arrangements add a touch of beauty to any ceremony while keeping the focus on the beauty of this sacred space.

Each of our ceremony flowers can be designed to match your colors, theme, and vision – the possibilities are endless! 

How Much Should I Budget for Ceremony Flowers?

The honest truth: there isn’t a single “right” answer. In other words, the overall investment into your wedding ceremony flowers will vary based on a few key factors, such as:

• The size and scale of your design: for example, pairing a wedding arch with aisle decor will naturally require more than simple altar baskets.
• The style and fullness of your arrangements: A lush, cascading chuppah will need more flowers and setup compared to an airy design with smaller touches of flowers.
• The seasonality of your flowers: Some flowers, like peonies, are more readily available (and more budget-friendly) during spring seasons than later in the year.

If you’re researching a wedding arch rental or chuppah rental, you can also benefit from having delivery, set-up, and clean-up included. This means less stress on your big day. Choosing a florist is more than just flowers, it’s also about having a team that will handle every detail on your wedding day so you can focus on enjoying the moment! 

Bonus Question: When Should I Finalize My Wedding Flowers?

Ideally, you’ll want to finalize your ceremony flowers about 2-3 months before your wedding day. By then, you’ll have a clear vision of your style, color, and venue details – making this the perfect time to lock in your choices.

We always suggest that couples share their inspiration photos and ideas early so we can help you visualize how your ceremony will look. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through all your options, share some photos from past weddings at your venue, and together we’ll bring your vision to life!
