Our A La Carte Wedding Shop offers a simplified, flexible way to bring beautiful floral design to your wedding without the commitment of full-service event styling. You choose the pieces you need, such as bouquets, centrepieces, boutonnières, and we create them in your preferred colour palette using seasonal blooms and our signature design style.
Because this service is streamlined, everything is ordered directly through our A La Carte page. We encourage couples to place their order once they have their date, colour palette, and key details ready.
During our busy season we do our best to accommodate A La Carte weddings, and we’ll clearly indicate if a date is unavailable.
We encourage photos, mood boards, and as many colour notes as you have at checkout, and our team will thoughtfully design arrangements that complement your vision. All pieces are carefully packaged for easy pickup at our shop, and delivery may be available upon request. Please email events@folklorefloral.ca for delivery rates and availability.
A La Carte is ideal for couples who don’t require full-service event design, as well as those planning intimate celebrations or elopements.
