Planning Guide
A few honest tips to help you choose what's right for your day.
Self Service or Full Service
Self Service
Pick up in Jenison, set up yourself, return contact-free.
Pros
- Costs less. No delivery or setup fee.
- More time with your rentals. Pick up Thursday or Friday, return by Tuesday.
- Your schedule. Great for early venue access or a day-before setup.
- Easy returns. Contact-free in Jenison by Tuesday at 10 PM.
Things to plan for
- You or your helpers load, haul, set up and take down.
- You'll need a vehicle with room, especially for arches.
- Rinse glassware and chargers, and pack florals back in their bins.
- Someone collects everything at the end of the night.
Best for: smaller orders, DIY couples, and venues with flexible access.
Full Service
We deliver, set up, take down and haul it all away.
Pros
- Hands-off. Nothing to load, carry or clean up at midnight.
- Styled by us. Arches and florals placed and fluffed the way they're designed to look.
- No vehicle or helpers needed.
- Included within 30 miles of Jenison with our full arches and Wildflower wall.
Things to plan for
- Other rentals or longer distances: $50 plus $1.25 per mile, round trip.
- Times follow your venue's access and our availability. Adjust up to 1 week before.
- Book early, since full-service dates fill first.
Best for: arches and large setups, and couples who'd rather not lift a thing.
Florals your way
We love real flowers too. Many of our couples mix the two: fresh where guests lean in close, and faux for the big statement pieces that need to look perfect from the first photo to the last dance.
Add fresh blooms to our pillars
Our greenery pillars are a lush base for fresh flowers. Have your florist tuck in seasonal blooms to match your bouquets, and you get the look of a fresh floral install for much less.
Keep faux for the large pieces guests see from a distance, like arches, pillars, walls and aisle markers, and save your fresh flower budget for the pieces people hold and see up close.
Mix-and-match guide
| Piece | Our pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bouquets & boutonnieres | Fresh | You hold them all day and they're in every close-up. |
| Centerpieces | Faux | Lifelike up close, and no wilting through a long reception. |
| Arches & pillars | Faux + fresh | A full faux base, with fresh blooms added by your florist. |
| Floral walls & aisle markers | Faux | Big, often outdoors, and set up well before guests arrive. |
| Cake & sweetheart table | Either | Fresh for the cake; your bouquets make a lovely sweetheart table. |
