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

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!
