A la Carte Wedding Flowers

February 13, 2025 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

Planning your wedding should be a joyful experience, and choosing your flowers is one of the most exciting parts! Our à la carte wedding flowers option is here to inspire, guide, and simplify the process for couples who want stunning floral arrangements without the commitment of a full-service florist.

Why Choose A la Carte Wedding Flowers Over Full Service?

Whether you’re envisioning a romantic bouquet, elegant centerpieces, or lush floral accents, we offer expert tips, trend insights, and real wedding inspiration to help you curate the perfect blooms for your big day. With the flexibility of à la carte ordering, you get high-quality, beautifully designed flowers—without the stress or hefty price tag of a custom floral package.

When opting for à la carte wedding flowers, couples are able to thoughtfully curate a selection of floral essentials to complement their big day instead of paying for a one-size-fits-all package. This flexible approach allows couples to focus on the arrangements they truly need, all while staying within their budget.

What Type of Arrangements Are Available When Choosing A La Carte?

A bridal bouquet is the star of the show, often featuring lush blooms that reflect the couple’s style and color palette. Bridesmaids’ bouquets are typically smaller, designed to coordinate beautifully with the bridal arrangement. These can also sometimes be used as centerpieces for the tables at the wedding ceremony. Boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, and other special family members add a refined touch, while additional ceremony pieces—such as altar arrangements or aisle markers—help set the scene for a romantic “I do.” The only items not available when using our a la carte services are those requiring installation, such as floral arches, as a la carte orders are pick-up only.

How Much Can I Expect To Pay For A La Carte Wedding Flowers?

Couples who choose an à la carte wedding flower package typically spend between $500 – $1,600 (before tax), depending on the number of floral pieces and the types of flowers selected. It’s important to remember that flower prices can vary depending on the style, season, and type of blooms chosen. Lush, premium flowers like peonies and garden roses will have a higher price point, while classic options like carnations and mums offer a more budget-friendly alternative.

  • Bridal Bouquet – $250 to $400

Mamma Mia Magic: A Photoshoot to Remember

February 1, 2024 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

Picture this: Central Texas, with its warm, Texan charm, becomes the backdrop for a wedding day filled with the spirit of Mamma Mia. While it might not be the Mediterranean coast, there’s something undeniably enchanting about the rolling hills, the wildflowers in bloom, and the warmth of Texan hospitality. In this captivating photoshoot, we bring the magic of Mamma Mia to the heart of Central Texas, where love takes center stage, and the romance of Italy is seen and felt at Villa Antonia in Jonestown, Texas.

When we were approached by Caitlin Delgado, a brilliant wedding planner, to collaborate on a styled shoot our first questions was…. who is your photographer? Our second (which almost didn’t matter at this point) was – what is the location? Knowing that Mylah Renea, a FANTASTIC wedding photographer, was going to be the photographer we knew we were going to say yes. Knowing the location was the beautiful wedding venue Villa Antonia sealed the deal!

The model, who also happened to be the hair and make-up artist, fit our theme effortlessly. Diana Marie came not knowing she would have to step in to be the model and she pulled it off like a professional.

These bridal photos at Villa Antonia encapsulate the venue’s beauty and the bride’s radiance in perfect harmony. We used two floral wholesalers to make these beautiful arrangements happen. Austin Flower Company and Mayesh Houston made our vision come to life by providing some of the most beautiful blooms we have ever seen!

Fuchsia peonies, fuchsia ranunculus and pink dahlias stole the show with their fluffy petals and large blooms. We added some light blue floral like tweedia and delphinium to break up the colors a bit and highlight the beauty of all the different shapes in the arrangements.

Morgan Pearl Cakes provided the most fragrant and delicious wedding cake our flowers could team up with. The cake took center stage with our flowers in the background creating a frame around this bold look.

We worked our magic and used all the flowers in multiple ways so the next stop was the fountain. This created a great space for our model to take some more bridal portraits and show people that you can take them in places that you would normally not think of.

Our blooms traveled to the terrace next. We were paired up with Action Rental Waco to create this beautiful table scape. Make sure to reach out to them for your next central Texas event!

Detail shots are some of our favorite photos that Mylah takes so we always make sure that we have plenty of floral bits to take her so she can work her magic as well! Is this fine art photography or what?!

These stairs have seen many of our beautiful blooms so we just had to take these center pieces to highlight one of our favorite installation sites!

Our personal favorite piece from this elegant photoshoot would have to be the grooms lavish, sophisticated and unique boutonniere. Shannon spend some time on this special wearable that was new to us. We learned this technique and decided to run with it and make it our own!

We would like to thank all the vendors that made this magical day happen. Special thanks to Villa Antonia for hosting this Mamma Mia Shoot and for Caitlin Delgado for gathering all the perfect wedding vendors together to create this magic!

Where would you like for us to do a styled shoot next time? Would you attend to see what goes on in the background? Perhaps a live video via Instagram? Let us know!

The One With the Cranes

July 6, 2023 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

From the moment I met with Catherine I knew she was going to be fun and different from any other person I had met before! She had ideas that wowed me and drawing and rendering of her vision so I knew I had to nail her vision!

She and Logan booked their wedding at The Vineyard at Florence last fall and we created this beautiful look on this cold and rainy day. The Vineyard at Florence has several locations to host your ceremony and this ceremony site made sure to keep guests nice and cozy!

The bridal bouquet was easily one of my favorite pieces from this wedding. The colors, the shape and the unique orchids that we received made the whole thing come together! The scabiosa mirrored the speckled orchids, the soft and flowy agonis was a great contrast to the bold smokebush and the tulips created a nice soft highlight throughout the bouquet.

Mirroring the bouquet we had the compotes at the beginning of the aisle that were also placed on the tables after the ceremony. This was able to be done because the weather was nice and cool and the blooms were under the pavilion protecting them from the harsh weather outside. This is something we do NOT recommend during the summer as we can not guarantee the conditions of the floral.

The unique and exciting part of this wedding would have to be the installation we did that Catherine worked so hard on. She made hundreds and hundreds of cranes before her wedding and attached them to hoops that we then hung to the rafters. We used a twenty foot ladder to get to the very top and boy were our legs tired!

Another component to this beautiful wedding were the trees that we made. We ordered them months in advance and made sure we practiced and really understood the structure. The trees had hanging orbs with twinkle lights which created such a romantic mood.

Thank you for letting us be apart of your day! We really enjoyed working on this wedding and working with the venue to see the vision come to life!

Earthy Wedding Vibes

March 9, 2023 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

Every few months we get the privilege of dressing up of our very own venue Kindred Oaks and Lincoln Chapel. This past month we went with natural elements and a neutral color palette. We had several great vendors come out to participate and our lovely friend Shelley Montgomery took some amazing photos for us! Come along as we take a closer look at the details we added to this neutral nature inspired theme!

For our tables we went to Austin Floral Company to pick up some cute plants, some moss and fresh floral from Pikes Peak and our vases and wood pieces we had in our inventory. We really wanted to create a look that would look natural and the green dianthus definitely added that extra touch we were looking for! Having live plants as centerpieces is a great way to keep something from your wedding, they also serve as great gifts for your friends and family!

Our front arbor was covered with two whole bales of smilax and some faux wisteria that we saved from a previous event. For a wedding, this piece has a price tag of $1,400! A lot goes into the pricing of installations like this. Product pricing, labor, knowledge it takes to execute this look and storage of the items all play a key part in our pricing! If you’re on a specific budget we recommend spending most of your investment money on a statement piece that can be reused. Something that is on a moveable piece or a vessel that can be transferred by your florist or day of coordinator.

For our Lincoln Chapel we decided to add some Spanish moss and fresh white floral. We added touches of black berries too, let us know if you can spot them! This Chapel is such a great little place for elopements and small wedding ceremonies. We love using color but decided to keep the theme going all around this time. Tell us what you’d like to see here next time!

Our back ceremony site was the ultimate natural ceremony site! With ferns, Spanish moss hanging from the trees and some hanging green Amaranthus to tie it all together who wouldn’t say yes to this?! This is the perfect minimal decor for when you already love the site and just want to add a little something.

We love getting creative and thinking of different ways to showcase our venue! No two weddings are ever the same so no two Open Houses are ever the same either! Make sure to come out to our next one to see what we have created for you! We will be focusing on the ceiling chandelier as a focal point to showcase what you can do with it!
