Small Wedding? Our small event orders are what’s up!

small event order bridal bouquet

From passionate elopements, to drastically pared-down pandemic guest lists, love always finds a way. Gorgeous & Green offers a Small Event Order option as a more economic choice for those seeking an intimate ceremony without sacrificing the romance of fresh flowers. 

Bite sized wedding ceremonies can provide a special level of sweetness. Whittling your guest list has a cascading effect on the total budget for your wedding day.

A smaller venue, fewer plates of food, and fewer overall flowers gives you extra funds to put toward increasing the quality of your experience. Extra care can be spent on luxurious blooms for the bride, a decadent menu, or live entertainment. Your connection with your guests is also deepened, and you may even get to (gasp!) hang out with everyone!

Small Event Order Sunflower Wedding

 

If you're just looking for the essentials: bridal bouquet, a few boutonnieres, bridal party bouquets, a few centerpieces and/or bud vases, the Small Event Order is the way to do it. 

 

Small Event Order Boutonnieres  

The deets: 
  • $800 minimum (the full service minimum is 6k)
  • choose your color scheme
  • send us up to 3 inspo pics
  • order your items à la carte on the website
  • pickup or inquire about delivery (setup not included)

 

and voila! You're set to sail through your special day.

 

In our next blog, I'll discuss options for using the Small Event Order option for non-wedding gatherings. Planning a birthday, retirement, celebration of life, graduation, or divorce party? We got you.

Bouquet Making during Covid-19

While Sheltering In Place, I have done some live Instagram Stories to share my love of creating with flowers and to spread a little beauty while we are at home and distant from some of the beauty and people we love.

Here is a shortened video I've completed that can be used as a floral design tutorial or just a glimpse of how to make a hand tied bouquet.

My favorite wedding to design for: 

1. Lush and full of greens

2. Colorful

3. A bit of tropical weirdness mixed with lots of local grown and seasonal blooms, all designed without floral foam.

Citrus and Sunset inspired wedding at the Presidio

This Summer we created some beautiful designs for a wedding at the Presidio.  From large floral pieces in copper buckets, to sprawling table designs featuring citrus, it was a lot of beautiful color and texture in the Log Cabin. Take a look at some of the beauty from the day:

Rustic and Romantic Yosemite Wedding

Rustic and Romantic Yosemite Wedding

It's prime wedding season, and we get asked to create designs in all manner of colors, textures and styles.  Our favorite are natural and lush arrangements.  This wedding order for a ceremony in Yosemite included a wild and textural feel, with bright and natural colors.  We wanted to use flowers that would last in the heat as well. Take a look at some of the rustic, wild elegance we created for this couple.

More from the Vintage Inspired Berkeley City Club Wedding Part 2

Here are more beautiful images from last Summer's Vintage inspired wedding at the Berkeley City Club.  The centerpieces were so fun to dream up, lots of fun vintage pieces like phones and typewriters, vases and candlesticks.  The best part about all this decor, it was the epitome of reuse! Here is the second segment of beautiful shots from the photographer Sonya Yruel...

A small and sweet wine country wedding

A small and sweet wine country wedding

Last summer a good friend's sister got married in Napa at the Hans Fahden winery in Calistoga.  The ceremony and reception was a small gathering of close friends and family.  I was so very happy to help them with their personal flowers and overjoyed to see how beautiful everyone looked.  The location is so breathtaking and sweet. Take a look for yourself:
