How À La Carte Wedding Flowers Work
Step 1: Submit Your Inquiry
Fill out our inquiry form to let us know what you're envisioning for your wedding flowers. You can select from a variety of sizes and color palettes, and there’s no minimum order! You'll also let us know whether you’d prefer pickup at our Lansing shop or delivery to your venue. It's all about what works best for you!
Step 2: Discovery Call
Once we receive your inquiry, we’ll confirm availability for your wedding date. If we’re available, we’ll schedule a call to discuss the details, answer your questions, and clarify any aspects of your order. We’ll also confirm whether you’d like to pick up your flowers or have them delivered.
Step 3: Review Proposal
After our call, we’ll send over a proposal that includes a breakdown of your floral order, pricing, and any additional details based on your preferences. If you’re happy with the proposal, you can secure your wedding date by submitting a deposit and signing the contract.
Step 4: Final Adjustments
About two months before your wedding, we’ll reach out to confirm the delivery details (if applicable) and make any final tweaks to your order. This is the time to make sure everything is perfect before the big day!
Step 5: Pickup or Delivery
On the day before your wedding, you can pick up your flowers at our downtown Lansing shop, all packed and ready for transport. If you’ve chosen delivery, we’ll ensure your flowers arrive at your venue, beautifully set up and ready to go. Either way, we’ve got you covered!

Stunning Bouquets + Personal Items
For our À La Carte service, we focus on creating stunning bouquets, boutonnières, and other personal items. You can choose from various sizes, and each arrangement is designed with seasonal blooms and lush greenery. These personal items are perfect for your wedding party, parents, officiant, and special guests.
Many of our clients love the idea of repurposing their wedding party bouquets as centerpieces for the head table, which helps extend the beauty of your florals throughout the day.
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
We also offer floral options for your reception, with a range of sizes and styles to fit your needs and budget. Choose from petite centerpieces, standard centerpieces, or bud vases. These can be used throughout your reception to add floral beauty to key areas like the sweetheart table, cake table, or bar.
Our petite centerpieces are approximately 6 inches tall and 10 inches wide, while the larger centerpieces are about 8 inches tall and 12 inches wide. We also offer bud vases that can be placed on cocktail tables, gift tables, or scattered around 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.
Flower Pickup & Care Tips
When you pick up your flowers, we ensure everything is carefully packaged for easy transport. We recommend using a van or SUV with fold-down seats for transporting your florals safely. If the vehicle is unsuitable, we’ll ask you to return with a more suitable one.
For optimal freshness, we recommend receiving your flowers the day before or on the day of your event. Here’s how to care for your flowers:
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 À La Carte orders, vase costs are included in the pricing. If you don’t need to keep the vases after your event, simply return them undamaged within one month and enjoy a 15% discount on in-shop purchases or workshops!
