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 understandable!) question. The wedding industry is filled with options, and when you’re newly engaged, it can feel a little overwhelming. You might be browsing websites that offer Bronze, Silver, or Platinum packages, each listing 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 completely custom for each couple. Here’s why we do things this way 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 often feel a little restrictive, as though you’re being asked to fit your vision into a pre-set formula that may or may not suit your style, your venue, or your priorities.

We believe that wedding flowers should feel personal, intentional, and unique to you. From your favorite color palette, to your dream dress, to the overall vibe of your day — we take all of these details into consideration when creating your designs. Every arrangement we make is thoughtfully crafted to match 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? Because package pricing can sometimes be misleading.

For example: a typical floral package might say it includes “one bridal bouquet, three bridesmaid bouquets, five centerpieces, and one arch piece” for a flat fee. But here’s the thing, what exactly is a “centerpiece”? It could be a single bud vase or a large, lush, show-stopping floral display. Likewise, one florist’s bridal bouquet might be minimal and airy, while another’s could be overflowing with premium blooms like garden roses, dahlias, or peonies.

Without a true understanding of scale, flower quality, and design style, it’s hard to compare packages apples-to-apples and even harder to know what you’re really getting for your investment.

What We Do Instead: Custom Proposals Tailored to You

Here at Bell’s Flowers, we start every process with you — your style, your vision, and your budget. After and during your initial consultation, we create a fully custom proposal designed around your needs. Your proposal includes:

🌸 A Bloom Blueprint — your personalized color palette, floral style, and inspiration photos
🌸 A detailed list of floral elements tailored to your day (bouquets, centerpieces, arches, installations, and more)
🌸 Transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect
🌸 Built-in flexibility — because we know ideas (and budgets!) sometimes evolve

Think of it like building your dream floral “menu” together, instead of picking from a preset list.

More Collaboration, Less Guesswork

By leaving behind the limitations of packages and tiers, we’re able to have real conversations with you about what matters most. Want to prioritize a stunning floral arch but keep centerpieces simple and minimal? Absolutely. Dreaming of full, lush garlands but going low-key with bouquets? We can make that happen.

This collaborative process ensures your flowers truly reflect your style, your priorities, and your venue — rather than being crammed into a predetermined mold.

The Result? Flowers That Feel 100% You

At the end of the day, our goal isn’t to fit you into a “flower formula” it’s to tell your story through beautiful, meaningful floral design. When you walk into your wedding, you’ll know that every bloom, every stem, and every arrangement was created with care, intention, and you in mind.
