Easy and affordable à la carte wedding flowers for small and intimate weddings & events
No need to start from scratch – Personally curate your desired wedding flowers by selecting pre-designed flower arrangements and tailoring them to your needs.
Pick what you need & know exactly how much it costs
Your flowers will be organic, home-grown and freshly picked from my flower garden.
Enjoy the happiness and smiles the flowers will pass on to your guest and yourself. The à la carte wedding flowers are a perfect fit when:
You don’t need all the bells and whistles.
You want your wedding flowers to be Eco-friendly.
Your budget is asking you to be creative.
Or DIY is just not your thing.
Hi, I'm Laura
Hi, I’m Laura. Sit back & relax with my carefully created à la carte wedding flowers. I want my à la carte menu to be straightforward and clear so you know exactly what to expect. That’s why I picked a few essential wedding flower arrangements that brings the most impact to flower up your venue.
And they are not only beautiful to look at, but are also made with the beauty of the planet in mind.
Control over the process
Designing the flower arrangements with my own grown organic flowers gives me full control over all the products involved in this process.
I try to be as mindful as I can during the process of creating. This goes from organically and ethically growing my flowers up to the materials I use for making my designs.
Reduce styling material waste
You are renting the vases I use for your flowers.
Over the years I made a collection of beautiful vases carefully picked up in secondhand shops and garage sales. While I understand that for you as a client it’s not always convenient to have to bring back the vases after an event, buying cheap vases in bulk that are thrown away after an event (which is still quit normal in the wedding and event industry) simply doesn’t align with my values.
Reusable floral arranging tools
To secure the flowers for centerpieces, I use reusable materials such as flower frogs, chicken wire, or bundles of branches. This allows me to stay away from non degradable materials such as oasis.
My flower style
Organic shapes and compositions that make the eye curious and the heart joyful.
My flower arrangements have spontaneity in them, but always well balanced. They are loose, lush and cheerful. Often with a little surprise, like a strawberry or berry branch. Or textures that offer surprisingly subtle contrasts. I like to play with heights, density, textures and smell to show the beauty nature brings.

If, for example, an external situation arises like a pandemic I will think along with you for the best solution (ex: a (partial) refund or rescheduling a date).
What happens when nature says no?
This has never happened to me. In an extreme event where circumstances by nature destroys or partially destroys my flower field I’ll do my best to find a solution within the color palette you picked. I always discuss the potential solutions with you.
I never leave you hanging.
- My first solution is to look at what I still have and create from there.
- My second solution is to buy flowers within your color palette from other local organic florists.
I will still create something absolutely beautiful for your day. Your guest will not even notice nature said nope to our plan.
