When planning wedding florals, couples often see the terms full-service and à la carte — but the difference goes far beyond pricing. Understanding what each option includes can help you choose the level of support that best fits your vision, venue, and planning style.
What Full-Service Wedding Florals Include
Full-service florals are a comprehensive design experience. This option typically includes:
- Custom floral design tailored to your venue and style
- Delivery, setup, installation, and teardown
- Ceremony installations, reception florals, and statement pieces
- Design collaboration with your planner and venue team
Full-service florals are ideal for couples who want a cohesive, elevated look without managing logistics on the wedding day.
What À La Carte Florals Offer
À la carte florals focus on individual pieces such as bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces. These designs are often pre-selected or lightly customized and typically require pickup or minimal setup.
This option works well for:
- Intimate weddings or elopements
- Couples with simple floral needs
- Venues that don’t require installations
Which Option Is Right for You?
If your wedding includes multiple design elements, large-scale installations, or a detailed timeline, full-service florals provide peace of mind and polish. If your vision is minimal and hands-on, à la carte may be a better fit.
The key is choosing the option that supports your experience — not just your budget.
Florals aren’t just décor — they’re part of how your wedding feels. Whether you choose full-service or à la carte, working with a professional floral team ensures your flowers enhance your day beautifully and intentionally.
