Boy, oh boy, do we love garlands!  We have compiled a few of our favorite local weddings and highlighted them below.  From decorating the aisle to accenting the cake table, take a look at some of our favorites and share your ideas below.

What a perfect way to dress up the bride's and groom's chairs than with floral garlands.  Garlands can be individual pieces or connected to symbolize the union of your love.  Feathered eucalyptus with touches of lisanthus blooms are designed on gold chiavari chairs above.

Add a touch of elegance and charm to your wedding signs with flowing garlands.  Perfectly sized to fit your welcome sign, escort sign or menu board.  What an impressive display as your guests arrive at your reception.

Low profile garlands allow your guest to be able to communicate freely among themselves and is the classy alternative to a larger scale centerpiece.  Bud vases with fragrant blooms like peonies, roses and ranuculus create a lush touch.

Really unify your reception by placing floral garland and touches of flowers on your cake table.    What a way to highlight that special moment between the bride and groom as they cut their cake.

While the reception is the filled with food, fun, and festivities the ceremony is still the most important part of your day! Highlight your aisle with a gorgeous garland full of various greenery.

Use a garland on your arch to tie back the sheer drapes.  Accent with additional fresh flowers and utilize all the pieces later at the reception, making the most out of that floral budget.

Create floral art with unique elements and lavish garlands.  We featured circular rings with Italian ruscus and various eucalyptus varieties to produce this dreamy look in this eclectic setting below.

​“Dear Daddy, no matter where I go in life, you’ll always be my number
one man.”  – Unknown
~~

Father's play an important part in any daughters wedding day.    From the planning stages and writing checks to first dances and speeches.  A father's role is truly important throughout the whole event.  As we approach Father's Day 2019 we wanted to send a special thank you to any bride's first love- her Daddy! 


Picture

We have seen fathers be the best man.  We have seen him play the part of the officiant.  We have seen fathers, step-fathers, and men who are like-fathers walk their beloved daughters down the aisle.   It's the most significant part of the day. 

​Pro Tip:  We always encourage the brides to stop at the end of the aisle with their dad.  Pause for a moment, take in the last memory with dad before you embark on that next journey of your life with the new love of your life.

Venue: Powel Crosley Estate
Cascading bridal bouquets have been a favorite when it comes to this color palette.   Loose flowing greens featured in both cascading bouquets and hand tied have made the blush and burgundy tones really pop!

Exotic blooms like protea, thistle and safari sunset add unique texture and dimension.  Tiny accent flowers such as hypericum berries, rice flower and astilbe tie perfectly into these soft and romantic themes.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Port Charlotte Florist was a pleasure to work with from start to finish!  I only had 70 days to plan my wedding and they were extremely flexible to all of my last minute changes.  Making payments was a breeze and any employee we met with was able to accommodate us no questions asked.  The arrangements were exactly what we imagined and more.  The flowers were truly breathtaking!  I couldn't have been happier with the outcome from Port Charlotte Florist throughout our wedding experience!  - Kelsey- Married 5.5.18
