Why We Don’t Offer Wedding Flower Packages — And What We Do Instead

Why We Don’t Offer Wedding Flower Packages — And What We Do Instead

When couples begin planning their big day, one of the first questions we often see in our inbox is:

“Hi! We’re getting married and would love to know — what wedding flower packages do you offer?”

It’s such a common (and completely understandable!) question. The wedding industry is filled with options, and when you’re newly engaged, it can feel overwhelming. You may be browsing websites that offer Bronze, Silver, or Platinum packages. Each promising a set number of bouquets, centerpieces, or ceremony arrangements and wondering if that’s how all florists operate.

At Bell’s Flowers, we take a different approach. Instead of cookie-cutter packages, we focus on creating something entirely custom for each couple. Here’s why and what you can expect when you work with us.

Every Wedding Is Unique — Your Flowers Should Be Too

No two weddings are alike, and your floral designs should reflect that. Packages can feel restrictive, often asking you to fit your vision into a pre-set formula that may not align with your style, your venue, or your priorities.

We believe wedding flowers should feel personal, intentional, and unmistakably you. From your color palette and dream dress to the overall mood of your day, every detail is considered. Each arrangement is thoughtfully designed to reflect your story and aesthetic, not someone else’s template.

Package Pricing Isn’t Always What It Seems

Another reason we skip the Bronze, Silver, Gold route? Package pricing can be misleading.

For example, a floral package might include “one bridal bouquet, three bridesmaid bouquets, five centerpieces, and one arch piece” for a flat fee. But what does that actually mean? A “centerpiece” could be a single bud vase, or a lush, statement arrangement overflowing with premium blooms. One florist’s bridal bouquet might be minimal and airy, while another’s could be full, textural, and garden-style.

Without a clear understanding of scale, flower quality, and design style, comparing packages is confusing and t’s hard to know what you’re truly investing in.

What We Do Instead: Custom Proposals Tailored to You

At Bell’s Flowers, we begin every process with you—your vision, your style, and your budget. During and after your initial consultation, we create a fully custom floral proposal designed specifically for your day. Your proposal includes:

🌸 A Bloom Blueprint — possible blooms we may use on your big day based on your personalized color palette, floral style, and inspiration.
🌸 A Vision Board — incorporating images you’ve shared to define the aesthetic and overall vibe
🌸 An itemized design list — reviewing all of the details we chatted about during your consultation such as bouquets, centerpieces, arches, installations, and more
🌸 Transparent pricing — so you know exactly what to expect
🌸 Built-in flexibility — because ideas evolve, and that’s okay

Think of it as building your dream floral menu together, rather than choosing from a preset list.

More Collaboration, Less Guesswork

By stepping away from rigid packages, we’re able to have meaningful conversations about what matters most to you. Want to prioritize a statement ceremony installation and keep centerpieces simple? Absolutely. Dreaming of lush garlands but a more understated bridal bouquet? We’ll design around that.

This collaborative approach ensures your florals reflect your priorities, your venue, and your personal style—without being forced into a predetermined mold.

The Result? Flowers That Feel 100% You

Our goal isn’t to fit you into a floral formula—it’s to tell your story through intentional, beautiful design. When you walk into your wedding day, you’ll know every bloom, every stem, and every arrangement was created with care, intention, and you in mind.
