Once you’ve chosen the perfect bouquet and personal floral pieces, it’s time to think bigger! Ceremony and reception florals are where your wedding vision comes to life in full bloom. From the moment your guests arrive to your final dance, flowers create atmosphere, guide the eye, and infuse your entire day with beauty and emotion. At Oleander, we’re here to help you make the most of every floral detail and get the best value from your investment.
Setting the Scene:
Your ceremony sets the tone for the day and is often the most photographed part of the wedding, so creating a striking floral backdrop is key. Our ceremony arrangements (starting at $425) are large, lush, and designed to make a statement. Whether placed at the altar, beside an arch, or flanking a staircase or doorway, these florals frame the moment you say “I do” and add beautiful energy and depth to your wedding photos.
Want even more impact? Consider aisle décor with delicate blooms or greenery tied to chairs; pew markers for traditional venues or floral arches or arbours as a romantic focal point.
And here’s a smart tip: our larger ceremony arrangements are designed to be repurposed. After the vows, they can be moved into your reception space to decorate the dance floor, cake table, or entrance, allowing your flowers to be enjoyed all night long.
Reception Ready:
When it comes to receptions, florals can truly transform your venue. From round table centrepieces in elegant glass vases to harvest table garlands for a continuous, lush tablescape, we offer a wide range of floral designs to suit every table shape, size, and style.
Wanting to elevate your space even more? Consider bar arrangements or floral accents for welcome or guest book tables.
And don’t forget your sweetheart table - we offer a thoughtfully sized, low-profile floral arrangement designed just for the two of you, with options to expand the look across a full head table.
The Finishing Touch:
Add a floral flourish to your dessert display with cake flowers, crafted from the same premium blooms used throughout your event. Just let us know the number of tiers and share your inspiration photos and we’ll provide a custom quote to match your vision.
Make the Most of Every Stem:
At Oleander, we’re passionate about helping couples get the most beauty, and value, from their wedding florals. Many of our designs are created with repurposing in mind, so your ceremony flowers can become your reception focal points. We’ll help coordinate the logistics so everything looks seamless, intentional, and absolutely stunning!
