Order Up! Designing and planning a full-service wedding can feel daunting — and for micro gatherings and elopements, sometimes it’s just unnecessary. That’s how the Pick Up was created. Fewer decisions, a simplified ordering process, accessible pricing — all resulting in an easy, artful, A La Carte approach.
Read the fine print…then check out the A La Carte menu and place your Pick Up order!
The A La Carte Pick Up Menu
Our menu features styled and curated collections showcasing broad palettes and floral selections — allowing us to use the most beautiful botanical specimens available at the time of your event.
With creative freedom to work within your chosen vibe and colorway — rather than a rigid list of materials — we are able to design floral pieces that feel artful and intentional.
How It Works
It’s simple: choose your vibe, then select the florals you need, within your budget.
- No consultation required.
- No minimum order.
- No added design fees.
- We require two weeks’ lead time for every order.
- All purchases are non-refundable.
Once your order is placed, we’ll confirm it and schedule a specific Pick Up time (on your event day or the day before). Your florals will be carefully packaged for transport. We’ll also provide instructions and a road map for any DIY setup, so your friends and family can help bring the vision to life.
Rescheduling:
If your event is rescheduled (due to unforeseen circumstances, like a pandemic), we can honor your order on your new date as long as:
- You notify us at least two weeks in advance of your original date.
- Your new date is within one year of your original order.
Please contact us ASAP to coordinate if rescheduling is needed: kQ@KerryQuade.com
The Vibe
Our color palettes and floral selections are intended as a guide, with room to evolve based on what is freshest, local, and seasonally available. While the mood and general colorway will be consistent, the exact mix of colors, textures, and specimens will vary — making each event unique. No two weddings are ever identical!
Seasonality & Sourcing
These packages allow us greater creative freedom in selecting seasonal flowers. We prioritize blooms from our own gardens and from local farms whenever possible.
Choosing Bouquets & Personal Flowers
Selecting personal florals is simple:
- Each bridesmaid or attendant traditionally holds a bouquet that complements the bride’s.
- The groom, groomsmen, and fathers typically wear boutonnieres (with the groom’s boutonniere uniquely designed to coordinate with the bridal bouquet).
- Corsages are often given to mothers, grandmothers, or other special guests — and can be worn on the wrist or dress (we design for flexibility!).
Keep in mind… there are NO RULES! The more bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres, the bigger the budget. You decide what fits your vision and your budget!
Choosing Your Centerpieces
Determining centerpiece quantity takes a bit more planning.
We recommend printing your layout or drawing a simple map to visualize where arrangements will go and how many you’ll need. Our reception flowers are designed to be versatile and easy to incorporate into most layouts. If this step feels overwhelming, your wedding planner can help guide you!

When should I place my A La Carte order?
Any time up until 2 weeks before your event date. The sooner, the better — to ensure availability!
Are you available on my date?
We book A La Carte orders for any day! We recommend placing your order early to secure your date. If we happen to be unavailable, we will notify you immediately.
Can I order for a Sunday or holiday?
Yes! Sundays, holidays, weekdays — we party every day. In the rare event we’re “gone fishing,” we will coordinate a specific Pick Up time.
Can I pick up my order the day before?
Yes — but we always recommend same-day Pick Up for maximum freshness.
If you must Pick Up early:
- Keep flowers in a cool place away from heat.
- Do not place in a fridge unless it’s 42°F, and keep away from sides and back wall.
- Replenish water daily.
- Important: Keep flowers away from apples (which emit ethylene gas that shortens floral life).
Can I add to my order?
Yes — as long as it’s before the 2-week deadline, you may add additional floral to your order.
Can I customize my A La Carte order?
To keep this offering streamlined and affordable, we do not offer customizations.
