A La Carte Flowers for Weddings & Events
Planning a wedding or event and looking for beautiful flowers without committing to full-scale floral production? A la carte flowers are a flexible, design-forward option for couples and hosts who want elevated florals with a simpler, more streamlined process.
At May Flowers, our a la carte wedding and event flowers are designed for modern celebrations: stylish, intentional, and easy to order.
What Are A La Carte Flowers?
At May Flowers, a la carte flowers are made-to-order and designed within a more streamlined framework.
Rather than fully custom floral concepts with unlimited design variables, a la carte florals focus on seasonal availability and the florist’s creative direction. Each piece is thoughtfully designed for your event, but we don’t recreate specific inspiration photos or guarantee exact flower varieties.
Think of it as small-batch, design-led florals, crafted specifically for your celebration, using what’s most beautiful and in season at the time.
A la carte flowers are ideal for clients who:
- Want bespoke florals without full-scale production
- Are open to seasonal flower selection
- Care about overall look and feel rather than exact stems
- Don’t require installations or on-site styling
A La Carte vs. Full-Service Wedding Flowers
Understanding the difference helps you choose what’s right for your event:
A La Carte Flowers
- Pre-designed, designer's choice style florals
- Ordered by quantity from a set menu
- Seasonal flower selection chosen by the florist
- No mockups, venue visits, or custom builds
- Pickup or delivery only (no on-site styling)
- No minimum spend!
Full-Service Floral Design
- Fully customized floral concepts
- Bespoke colour palettes and flower choices
- On-site setup, installations, and breakdown
- Includes consultations, mockups, and logistics planning
-
Higher minimum investment ($3500-$8000 minimum depending on the season)
If your vision includes arches, hanging installs, large-scale designs, or highly specific flower requests, full service is likely the better fit. If you want beautiful, cohesive flowers without the extra layers, a la carte is perfect.

Because a la carte flowers are design-led and seasonal, we don’t offer revisions or previews, but we do promise thoughtful, polished results.
Our Style: Effortless, Artful, and Modern
May Flowers is known for natural, sculptural arrangements that feel intentional but never overworked. Our a la carte wedding flowers reflect the same design philosophy as our full-service work:
- Seasonal blooms at their best
- Soft movement and organic shapes
- Refined colour palettes
Rather than replicating inspiration photos stem-for-stem, we focus on creating florals that feel fresh, elevated, and true to the moment.
Is A La Carte Right for Your Wedding or Event?
A la carte flowers work especially well for:
- Intimate and mid-sized weddings
- City hall ceremonies
- Restaurant or gallery venues
- Modern events with minimal setup needs
- Couples who value design but want simplicity
If you’re flexible, trust your florist, and want beautiful wedding flowers without full production, this option is made for you.
