Comparing à la carte vs custom wedding flowers in Calgary? At La Maison Flower Studio, the CAD $5,000 minimum applies only to Custom Wedding services. À La Carte wedding flowers can be selected and ordered directly online without meeting that minimum.

Do all wedding flower orders at La Maison Flower Studio require a CAD $5,000 budget? No.

Our CAD $5,000 minimum floral investment applies only to Custom Wedding services. It does not apply to À La Carte wedding orders.

If you would like to choose wedding flowers from our existing collection and order online, you can shop À La Carte without booking a custom consultation.

Here is how to choose the option that fits your wedding.


À La Carte vs Custom Wedding Flowers: The Key Differences

La Maison Flower Studio offers two different approaches to wedding flowers in Calgary.

À La Carte lets you select existing floral designs, choose the available items and quantities you need, and complete your purchase online.

Custom Wedding is for couples seeking a personalised floral design service, with a minimum floral investment of CAD $5,000.

The distinction is about the service you need, not simply the number of guests at your wedding.


À La Carte Wedding Flowers: Choose and Order Online

À La Carte is a straightforward way to order wedding flowers when you like a design already offered in our collection.

You do not need to reach the Custom Wedding minimum or request a bespoke proposal before purchasing.

Browse the À La Carte Wedding Collection, select your preferred products and available options, and order through the website.

This approach may suit you if you:

  • Have found an existing design you love.

  • Know which floral items and quantities you need.

  • Prefer to see your selected items and prices before checking out.

  • Want to organise your flowers without a custom design consultation.

For example, if you are planning an intimate ceremony and need only selected personal flowers, start with the available À La Carte options. You do not need to enquire about a CAD $5,000 custom package simply because the flowers are for a wedding.


What Can You Choose With À La Carte?

Our À La Carte collection offers established colour palettes, including soft pink and white, and white and green.

For a classic white and green palette, explore Modern Elegance Wedding Flowers.

Choose from the item types, sizes, and quantities available on the relevant product page. These are curated designs rather than a starting point for a new custom concept.

Custom colour changes, specific flower requests, and bespoke design alterations are not part of the À La Carte service. Individual flower varieties may vary with seasonal availability while preserving the selected design’s overall character.

Wedding bouquet options also receive wedding finishing, including adjusted stem lengths and chiffon ribbon. Check the selected product description for the details and price of your chosen option.


Custom Wedding Flowers: A Personalised Design Service

Custom Wedding is the appropriate starting point when you want to discuss a floral vision created around your wedding.

This might involve a personalised colour palette, coordinated venue florals, or installation requirements that extend beyond the existing online collection.

Custom Wedding services begin with a minimum floral investment of CAD $5,000.

That amount refers to your floral investment, not your total wedding budget. It is a minimum for the custom service, rather than a fixed price covering every possible design or installation.

The final scope and pricing depend on the agreed requirements. Any setup, installation, or other service should be confirmed in your proposal.

To discuss this route, submit a Custom Wedding enquiry with your wedding date, venue, floral budget, and ideas.


Which Option Fits Your Plans?

Start with the kind of help you need.

“I love a design on your website and want to order it.”

Choose À La Carte. Review the available options and purchase online.

“My floral budget is below CAD $5,000.”

Explore À La Carte. The Custom Wedding minimum does not apply to this collection.

“I want a different palette or a design based on my inspiration images.”

Explore Custom Wedding, provided your floral budget meets the CAD $5,000 minimum.

“I have a larger budget, but I am happy with an existing design.”

You can still choose À La Carte. A larger budget does not mean you must book a custom service.


Plan for Receiving and Placing Your Flowers

Before completing an À La Carte order, check delivery availability and arrange for someone to receive the flowers.

À La Carte does not include venue styling, placement, setup, room transfers, or teardown. Decide in advance who will distribute personal flowers and position any arrangements.

If you need professional installation or venue styling, discuss those requirements through the Custom Wedding enquiry process.

For help with an existing product or an ordering question, contact La Maison Flower Studio. An order-related question is different from a custom design consultation.
