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.

Below is a sample cost breakdown to help plan your budget:

Essentials:

  • Bridal Bouquet – $250 to $400
  • Bridesmaids’ Bouquets (each) – $85 to $150
  • Boutonnieres (each) – $25 to $40

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!

Modern Fall Wedding

March 16, 2023 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

Form the moment we met with Brookelyn and Laura we fell in love with their love, the way they looked at each other and the care they had for one another was so beautiful! Looking through their gallery proved just that, smiles throughout the whole album! Come take a look at one of our favorite weddings from last fall and see how all the details came together to create this wonderful day!

We had dried several items in our studio to use for this special day. Things that we had saved from previous weddings and open houses. So much thought and detail went into this day!

Our favorite part of this whole wedding was the modern disco ball details and the toffee roses 💕

The wedding party was SO much fun! All the different dresses were such a great addition. How great is it to be surrounded by this group of loving friends and family!

Also, take a look at the amazing portraits they took. I mean come on, would you just look at them! Thank you Brookelyn and Laura for trusting us with your big day and for letting us be apart of your memories. Thank you for all the vendors involved for making the day run smoothly and beautifully!

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!

A Tropical Summer Wedding

March 2, 2023 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

We can’t wait to share this wedding with you! Our amazing Studio Manager, Jesica, took the lead on this Tropical Summer wedding for Kelly and Ryan – and completely blew it out of the water! This wedding took place at the beautiful Villa Antonia, and the tropical-inspired floral designs were the perfect match for this unique space. Jesica and the team used a variety of tropical blooms and foliages in shades of white and green to bring this couple’s design vision to life. Some of the fresh materials used were monstera leaves, king protea, orchids, ti leaves, teepee ferns, pampas grass, roses, and more! Let’s take a stroll through this beautiful wedding together…

The boutonnieres were simple and elegant, and included a white orchid with fresh foliage – wrapped in a white satin ribbon. The bridesmaid bouquets included a mix of white floral and tropical foliage, and they were the perfect accessory to carry for this event. Kelly’s bridal bouquet was absolutely stunning – check out those double asiatic lilies!

Our team used a gold octagonal metal piece from Mancino Iron Rentals as the base for a breathtaking ceremony design! Adorned with monstera leaves, king proteas, roses, double lilies and more – this design brought the terrace to life while creating the perfect frame for Kelly and Ryan to say their vows. Simple glass vases with tropical foliage, and a sprinkling of fresh rose petals dressed the aisle.

There’s just something about the flickering of candlelight, and fresh foliages that really brings a space together – right?! We used both to accent the fireplace and staircase leading to the reception area.

There were so many gorgeous photos taken by the talented Angela King that it was hard to narrow it down, but here are a few more of our favorites from this beautiful day!

Thank you so much for asking the team at ZuZu’s Petals to design your wedding flowers, Kelly and Ryan! We loved working with you, and we wish you all the best!!

Sky Blue and Blush Wedding Overlooking the Texas Hill Country

February 23, 2023 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

Our talented designer, Shannon, took the lead on creating these gorgeous floral designs for Chelsea and Bill’s Spring wedding. This couple wanted whimsical, garden-inspired designs with a color palette that incorporated shades of blush, cream, sage, and a frosty sky blue. To bring the design vision to life, Shannon chose a selection of seasonal greenery and blooms including seeded eucalyptus, hypericum berries, dusty miller, stock, Queen Anne’s lace, roses, spray roses, thistle, delphinium, and tulips. The flowers looked and smelled amazing!

The outdoor ceremony took place on the terrace of Villa Antonia, a unique venue overlooking the stunning Texas Hill Country! To dress up and soften the space, our team placed two fresh greenery garlands along the aisle. Next, we placed our gold metal pedestals up front, topped with beautiful floral designs inside of white ceramic compote containers. This was the perfect frame for Chelsea and Bill to share their vows in front of their loved ones.

The bees were definitely enjoying our flowers that day too!

Can we just take a minute to soak in and appreciate all of the different textures used here?! When creating floral designs, especially when looking to achieve a garden-inspired vibe, it’s important to use a variety of materials so that you have textural interest. You have the soft and fuzzy dusty miller, contrasted by the prickly thistle…then you have the delicate and small blooms from the Queen Anne’s lace, contrasted by the larger and smooth textured-blooms from the tulips. So gorgeous!

When there’s a grand staircase leading into the reception space, why not have some fun with it? 🙂 We carefully draped wild smilax vines along the banisters, then dressed up the bottom of the stairs with a few fresh blooms for a hint of color. The guest table centerpieces included gold stands, topped with a floral design in our gold mercury compote containers to tie everything together. We added in a trio of votive candles, and voila! These centerpieces added height while also allowing guests to still see each other and hold conversation when seated for dinner.

Chelsea and Bill, thank you so much for asking ZuZu’s to design and create your wedding floral designs! We loved working with you and your amazing team of vendors, and we wish you nothing but happiness!

Lavender and Sage Wedding in Downtown Georgetown

February 16, 2023 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

Our design team worked together to create beautiful floral designs for the wedding of Allie and Luis! We incorporated shades of lavender, plum, lilac, sage, and white for this sweet couple’s wedding day. We selected a variety of fresh greenery and blooms including ranunculus, clematis, scabiosa, roses, waxflower, and eucalyptus to bring everything together. This sweet October wedding took place at the beautiful Wish Well House, located in the historic district of downtown Georgetown, Texas.

The bouquets and boutonnieres were the perfect compliment to the Bridal Party attire – loved how the flowers popped against the lilac bridesmaid gowns and the light gray suits worn by the groomsmen.

The outdoor ceremony space included fresh floral designs along the aisle and in the altar area. Placing these designs on the ground was a great way to add softness and a touch of color to the space.

The natural light streaming through the reception area, mixed with wooden farmhouse tables, and clean lines created the perfect canvas for simple and sweet centerpieces. We placed loose greenery along the center of each table, with a few clear glass bud vases with pops of fresh blooms. To finish off the look, we sprinkled in votive candles throughout.

Here are a few of our other favorite highlights from the wedding!

Thank you for asking ZuZu’s Petals to design your wedding flowers and to be a part of your special day, Allie and Luis! We wish you all the best!

A Bohemian Autumn Wedding

February 9, 2023 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

This gorgeous September Wedding was designed by our very own Shannon! She worked with a beautiful color palette, reminiscent of Autumn – including shades of burgundy, copper, chocolate, ivory, and beige. Shannon selected roses, pampas grass, copper beech foliage, grevillea, upright amaranthus, ranunculus, and magnolia branches to create all of the floral designs. The textures were the perfect blend for this Autumn Wedding!

The ceremony space was brought to life with a wooden circular structure, adorned with an asymmetrical floral design. We lined the aisle with our Amber glass growler jugs, which created a nice contrast against the white chairs and lightly colored walkway.


This bridal bouquet was lush and whimsical, and it complimented the bride’s exquisite wedding gown beautifully!

The views at Villa Antonia are stunning! There are so many places for our designers to add in a creative flair, like the trailing greenery along the staircase, and the terrace overlooking the Austin hill country.

We are so grateful that this sweet couple asked us to be a part of their special day, and gave us the opportunity to design their wedding flowers!

A Styled Shoot at One of Our Favorite Venues

February 2, 2023 By ZuZusPetals Leave a Comment

The Design Team at ZuZu’s Petals worked together to create a stunning display of fresh flowers at one of our favorite wedding and event venues, Wish Well House. This beautiful venue is located in the historic downtown area of Georgetown, TX and has a unique history! Our designers wanted to showcase a garden-inspired color palette and an array of lush blooms. The floral selection included clematis, parrot tulips, scabiosa, sweet peas, lilac, roses, eucalyptus, smilax, ranunculus, and more.

Jesica, our Studio Manager, used her background in art to design, craft, and print all of the paper goods too!

The Cocktail Lounge was the perfect location to add pops of floral for color. Don’t you love the furniture? And the natural light streaming in those gorgeous windows?

This head table design featured one floral centerpiece and loosely placed blooms and greenery down the center, and a few taper candles. Colorful, simple, and perfect!

The white walls surrounding the bar area created an ideal backdrop for fresh floral accents and trailing greenery. We loved dressing up this space!

A free-standing bar with a cute saying in balloon letters, AND flowers, AND candles? Yes, please!

Did you know that purple and yellow are two colors that are opposite on the color wheel, which makes them super complementary to each other?

Thank you for reading our blog! We hope you enjoyed viewing these designs as much as we enjoyed creating them!
