While these personal items likes corsages and boutonnieres are usually bought for the wedding party, officiant, parents, or special guests, it's essential to consider your budget and prioritize what works best for you.

Simplify Your Decor with Versatile Floor Flower Arrangements

Consider the versatility of floor floral arrangements for both your wedding ceremony and reception, offering great value and endless possibilities. These vibrant arrangements can make a bold statement at the ceremony's entrance, along the aisle, or lining the way for a grand entrance. Effortlessly transition them to the reception, placing them strategically in front of the sweetheart table, cake table, dance floor, reception entrance, or any other creative spot you envision. By incorporating flowers that match your wedding color palette throughout the reception, you can achieve a cohesive design that ties your entire wedding day together.

Reception Floral Options

When choosing centerpieces for your wedding reception, we understand the abundance of options and the influence of guest count on your decor budget. For our pickup orders, we offer two centerpiece sizes and bud vases, ensuring flexibility in tailoring selections to your preferences.

Our centerpieces, thoughtfully designed in low neutral ceramic containers, come in two sizes. The petite centerpiece is approximately 6 inches tall and spans 10 inches in width, while the larger one extends to about 8 inches in height and 12 inches in width, showcasing stunning flowers, including specialty blooms exclusively handpicked for your event.

Bud vases provide a simple and visually appealing option, introducing varying heights and layers of flowers for placement on long tables, round tables, cocktail tables, the bar, gift table, or scattered throughout the reception. 

Selecting Your Reception Florals

Plan your floral arrangement, keeping in mind spots like the bar, dessert, gift, and welcome tables. Mix and match options for a personalized and cohesive design that suits your style and budget. Choose from a variety of centerpieces – petite arrangements for charm or standard ones for a bold statement. Place them strategically, ensuring every corner, including the bar and dessert table, gets a floral touch. Play with sizes and styles to fit your budget and design preferences, creating a warm and visually appealing reception.

DIY Flower Buckets for Your Wedding Day

We also offer DIY wedding buckets, crafted for cohesive designs with around 50 stems (5 bunches) of budget-friendly flowers and foliage. We've handpicked blooms that complement our overall design, adding a personal touch to your special day, minus the luxe blooms reserved for bouquets.

Flower Pickup & Care Tips

Picking up your flowers may seem overwhelming, but we've got you covered for a stress-free experience. Your order is carefully packaged for easy pickup the day before your wedding, ensuring safe transportation by a trusted loved one. We recommend using a van or SUV with fold-down seats for transport. If the vehicle is unsuitable, we’ll ask that they return with a better-suited one.

For optimal freshness, we advise receiving your florals the day before or on the event day. After pickup or delivery, a little care is needed to keep your flowers looking their best.

Bouquets + Personals: Place in a vase with 3-4" of cool water, ensuring the ribbon sits above the water line. Dry stems with a towel before walking down the aisle. 

Floral Arrangements: Refill water, as some may spill during transit.

Keep Blooms Fresh: Store them in a cool, dry space (avoid humid bathrooms!). Use the fridge at 38-45 degrees, without fruits. Cooler temperatures are usually fine, except for boutonnieres and corsages lacking a water source.

Our Commitment to Fresh + Unique Blooms

At Sparrow Bloom, we guarantee fresh and unique blooms in every order. While nature's unpredictability may lead to occasional flower or color substitutions, rest assured, we maintain high-quality standards. Our floral inventory reflects our commitment to providing the best blooms, changing with the seasons and market availability. Although our website showcases our style, each Sparrow Bloom bouquet is wonderfully unique, celebrating the diverse beauty found in nature!

Vase Return Program

For our pickup orders, vase costs are included in the pricing. You can send flowers home with guests or keep them for years. If you don't want the vases, return them undamaged within one month of your wedding, and enjoy a 15% discount for in-shop purchases or attending a workshop.
