You know youâve left downtown Seattle behind when you cross the Fremont Avenue drawbridge and turn onto Nickerson Street. The Lake Union houseboats give way to marine warehouses, the streetscape gets industrial, and then â tucked against the Ship Canal at 198 Nickerson â you find Almquist Family Winery. It doesnât announce itself with grand gates or vineyard vistas. Instead, it sits low and unassuming in a former marine facility, the kind of repurposed industrial space that Seattle does better than almost anywhere. But step through the door, and the story shifts. Suddenly youâre in a working winery, the air carrying that distinctive scent of fermenting grapes and oak barrels, the tasting room glowing with string lights reflected in the 53-foot marble bar, and through the glass walls of the Greenhouse, the Ship Canal glints in whatever light Seattle decides to offer that day. This is not Napa. This is not even Woodinville. This is urban winemaking at its most authentic, and for couples who want a wedding that feels distinctly Seattle â a little gritty, deeply creative, and entirely genuine â Almquist Family Winery delivers. Poppy has received 4 inquiries from couples considering Almquist Family Winery wedding flowers, and each time we visit, weâre reminded why this unconventional venue has quietly earned its place on Seattle wedding shortlists.
About Almquist Family Winery
Almquist Family Winery occupies a rare space in Seattleâs wedding landscape: itâs a genuine working winery and distillery located not in bucolic wine country, but right in the city limits, straddling the Queen Anne and Fremont neighborhoods on the northern edge of the Ship Canal. Founded by the Almquist family, the winery produces small-batch wines from Washington State grapes, along with craft spirits distilled on-site. This is not a vanity project or a wedding venue masquerading as a winery. The Barrel Room is called that because itâs where actual wine barrels live during production season â in fact, the space is completely unavailable from August 15 through December 1 due to active winemaking operations, a scheduling consideration that tells you everything about the venueâs priorities.
The architecture is quintessentially Seattle industrial-chic: exposed brick, reclaimed timber beams, polished concrete floors, and salvaged metal accents throughout. The crown jewel is the Greenhouse, a modern glass structure that feels like it was airlifted in from Scandinavia â all clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, and natural light. It sits adjacent to the Wine Garden, a landscaped outdoor space that opens directly onto Ship Canal views. The property isnât large â this is urban real estate, after all â but itâs thoughtfully designed to flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, with the Restaurant (complete with that show-stopping 53-foot marble bar), the Barrel Room, and the Greenhouse each offering distinct atmospheres within a compact footprint.
Logistically, Almquist sits about 10 minutes north of downtown Seattle, just over the Fremont drawbridge. Parking is included in the site fee, with both a private lot and ample street parking available along Nickerson Street. For Poppyâs delivery teams, load-in is straightforward through the main entrance, and the venue provides on-site parking during setup. The winery operates with a flexible vendor policy â outside vendors are welcomed and encouraged, with the notable exception of catering, which is handled exclusively by Table Catering Co. This exclusive arrangement actually works in everyoneâs favor; Table Catering manages the entire venue, which means coordination is seamless, and theyâve designed seasonal menus specifically around the spaces. As a Seattle wedding florist with experience across the cityâs diverse venue landscape, Poppy appreciates that Almquist allows complete creative freedom for floral design while maintaining professional standards for coordination and logistics.
The venue is pet-friendly (important in dog-obsessed Seattle), requires standard liability insurance for all vendors, and provides bar services including bartenders, liquor licensing, house and premium spirits, and signature drinks starting at $8 per person. For couples planning a wedding weekend rather than a single-day event, the surrounding Queen Anne and Fremont neighborhoods offer excellent hotel options, farm-to-table restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops â all within walking distance or a quick Uber ride.
Event Spaces & Floral Opportunities
The Greenhouse
Capacity: 48 seated, 60 cocktail-style
Setting: The Greenhouse is Almquistâs signature space, and it functions as both a statement of intent and an exercise in restraint. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls enclose the room on all sides, creating the sensation of dining inside a terrarium. Natural light floods the space from every angle â a precious commodity during Seattleâs gray months and a photographerâs dream during the golden hour. The surrounding Wine Garden presses against the glass, with established plantings creating a living wallpaper of foliage and seasonal blooms. String lights crisscross overhead, providing ambient glow as daylight fades, and the polished concrete floor grounds the entire structure with an industrial edge. This is an intimate space by design, best suited for ceremonies of 60 or fewer guests or seated dinners for up to 48. The glass architecture means every sightline is clean, every angle matters, and nothing goes unnoticed.
Floral approach: The Greenhouse demands a lighter touch than you might instinctively want to provide. Those glass walls already deliver the âwow,â and the view of the Wine Garden through the windows creates a built-in backdrop that florals should complement, not compete with. For ceremonies, we favor a low, lush ground installation rather than a towering arch â think a crescent arrangement of Quicksand roses, white ranunculus, cafe au lait dahlias, and jasmine vine pooling at the coupleâs feet, with smilax trailing outward to soften the edges. The glass walls become natural display cases for suspended installations: consider transparent orbs filled with floating garden roses and maidenhair fern, hung at varying heights to create dimension without blocking sightlines. For seated dinners, keep centerpieces low and abundant â compote-style arrangements in brushed brass vessels, no taller than ten inches, filled with textural blooms like scabiosa, hellebores, and spirea that read beautifully in the natural light. The corners of the space can handle taller moments: a pair of statement urns flanking the entrance, overflowing with delphinium, snapdragons, and Italian ruscus to mark the threshold. Because the Greenhouse connects directly to the Wine Garden, we often extend floral moments outdoors with clusters of arrangements on cocktail tables or a floral installation framing the garden entrance, creating continuity between inside and outside.
Barrel Room
Capacity: 200 seated
Setting: The Barrel Room is Almquistâs largest space and its most overtly rustic. Wooden wine barrels line the perimeter â not decorative props, but actual working barrels that smell faintly of oak and wine tannins. Exposed brick walls, reclaimed timber beams, and Edison-bulb string lights create an atmosphere that splits the difference between industrial warehouse and wine cellar. The space is cavernous enough to accommodate 200 guests comfortably, yet the low ceilings and warm lighting keep it from feeling impersonal. Hereâs the catch: this room is entirely unavailable from mid-August through November due to active harvest and production. If youâre dreaming of a fall wedding surrounded by barrels, youâll need to plan for early August or wait until December. For couples who can work within that window, the Barrel Room offers the most flexibility for large-scale receptions with dancing, lounge areas, and multiple bar stations.
Floral approach: The Barrel Roomâs rustic bones beg for organic, garden-style florals with plenty of texture and movement. This is not the place for tight, formal arrangements or monochromatic minimalism. Instead, lean into abundant, slightly wild designs that feel foraged from a Pacific Northwest meadow. For centerpieces, use a mix of heights and vessels â some low wooden boxes overflowing with burgundy dahlias (Arabian Night, Black Jack), chocolate cosmos, and dried grasses; others in amber glass bottles with single stems of butterfly ranunculus or chocolate lace flower. The wine barrels themselves become floral opportunities: top several with vintage brass urns spilling over with trailing jasmine, pieris, and garden roses in wine-inspired tones â deep merlot, dusty mauve, and charcoal. The bar area can handle a linear installation running the length of the back counter: a garland of seeded eucalyptus, Italian ruscus, and olive branch with clusters of cafĂŠ au lait dahlias and Juliet roses tucked in every few feet. For a statement moment, consider a large-scale installation suspended above the dance floor â a cloud of greenery and blooms that adds dimension to the high ceilings without obstructing movement below. The string lights already provide sparkle; your job is to add softness and romance to the industrial edges.
Restaurant
Capacity: 60 seated
Setting: The Restaurant is Almquistâs most polished space, anchored by that remarkable 53-foot marble bar that runs nearly the entire length of the room. This is where Table Catering Co. serves their seasonal menus, and the space carries a refined, almost cosmopolitan energy â less winery, more wine bar. Natural light pours in from the upstairs room, which offers canal views, and the marble bar reflects ambient light beautifully, especially during evening receptions when candles and low arrangements glow against the stone. The capacity is intentionally limited to 60, making this the ideal space for intimate receptions, rehearsal dinners, or post-ceremony cocktail hours that transition seamlessly to other spaces.
Floral approach: The 53-foot marble bar is the dominant architectural feature here, and it offers a rare opportunity for linear floral design. Rather than attempting to fill the entire length (expensive and visually overwhelming), we create punctuation marks: a dramatic urn at each end of the bar, elevated on risers, spilling over with white delphinium, Playa Blanca roses, lisianthus, and cascading amaranthus that drapes elegantly toward the floor. Then, every six feet along the bar, place low bud vases in clear glass â single stems of tweedia, nigella, or white anemones â creating a rhythmic pattern that draws the eye down the barâs length without cluttering the work surface. For dining tables, keep arrangements refined and compact: small mercury glass compotes filled with romantic blooms like Keira garden roses, white majolica spray roses, and silver brunia, accented with dusty miller for that silvery-gray Pacific Northwest palette. If youâre using the upstairs room with canal views, keep window-side florals minimal â a few scattered votives and single-stem bottles are sufficient. The view does the work.
Wine Garden
Capacity: 150 seated (ceremony or reception configuration)
Setting: The Wine Garden is Almquistâs outdoor space, and in a city where summer weather is glorious but never guaranteed, itâs the wildcard that makes or breaks the day. The garden features a grassy lawn that slopes gently toward the Ship Canal, offering a birdâs-eye view of the water, passing boats, and the Fremont neighborhood across the canal. Established landscaping provides a green backdrop with seasonal interest â flowering shrubs in spring, lush foliage in summer, turning leaves in fall. The space is remarkably quiet for an urban setting, buffered from Nickerson Street traffic by the buildings, and it benefits from Seattleâs long summer daylight, with sunset happening as late as 9:00 PM in June and July. The Wine Garden connects directly to the Greenhouse, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor flow during cocktail hours.
Floral approach: Outdoor waterfront ceremonies require a careful balance: enough floral presence to mark the moment, but not so much that youâre competing with the Ship Canal view or risking wind damage to delicate installations. We favor a low, wide ceremony arch rather than a tall structure â think a wooden hexagon frame covered in smilax, plumosa fern, and Italian ruscus, with clusters of blooms (cafĂŠ au lait dahlias, Quicksand roses, white lisianthus, and burgundy scabiosa) concentrated at the base and corners, leaving the center open to frame the couple against the water. For the aisle, shepherdâs hooks with small hanging arrangements or simple clusters of blooms in galvanized buckets create a garden-gathered feel without obstructing the view. Because Seattle weather can turn quickly, we always use hardy, wind-tolerant blooms for outdoor installations â roses, dahlias, and solidly constructed greenery rather than delicate spray roses or garden roses that wilt in direct sun. Cocktail hour in the Wine Garden calls for smaller arrangements on high-top tables: low ceramic vessels in charcoal or white, filled with textural, organic designs that echo the natural surroundings. If youâre planning a tent for a reception on the lawn, the tent poles become floral opportunities â wrap them with garlands or place large urns at the base to soften the industrial structure.
Wedding Flower Ideas for Almquist Family Winery
Canal District Romance
This palette draws directly from the Ship Canal setting and Seattleâs industrial waterfront heritage, blending soft romance with urban grit. The color story centers on dusty blue-grays, soft peach, ivory, and charcoal, echoing both the canal water and the concrete-and-steel surroundings. Blooms include Patience garden roses (that perfect dusty peach), white majolica spray roses, silver brunia, blue tweedia, gray-green succulents, and quicksand roses. Foliage leans heavily on eucalyptus varieties â seeded, silver dollar, and parvifolia â along with dusty miller and Italian ruscus. Vessels are a mix of concrete cylinders (nodding to the industrial setting), brushed steel compotes, and mercury glass votives. Finish with touches of air plants tucked into arrangements for a Pacific Northwest edge. This palette photographs beautifully in the Greenhouseâs natural light and holds up well outdoors in the Wine Garden, where the soft colors complement rather than compete with the waterfront views. For the Restaurantâs marble bar, this palette looks especially elegant, with the gray tones echoing the stone and the peach adding warmth.
Northwest Wine Country
Even though Almquist sits in the city, itâs a working winery, and this design concept honors that identity with a palette pulled straight from Washington wine country in late summer. Deep burgundy, merlot, plum, and fig tones dominate, accented with dusty mauve, charcoal, and hints of golden wheat. Key blooms include Black Baccara roses, deep burgundy dahlias (Arabian Night, Karma Choc), chocolate cosmos, burgundy scabiosa, plum-toned carnations (underrated and incredibly long-lasting), and cafĂŠ au lait dahlias for contrast. Foliage includes olive branches, privet berries, seeded eucalyptus, and dried grasses â wheat, setaria, bunny tails â for texture. Add in actual grapevine tendrils if you can source them sustainably. Vessels lean rustic: wooden wine crates, amber glass bottles, aged brass compotes, and terracotta pots. This is a design that feels abundant and slightly wild, perfect for the Barrel Roomâs rustic setting or as a dramatic counterpoint to the Greenhouseâs modern architecture. For an unexpected twist, incorporate dark burgundy anemones with their inky black centers â they add an almost gothic romance thatâs perfect for a winery wedding.
Glass House Garden
Designed specifically for the Greenhouse, this concept treats the glass structure like a conservatory, filling it with the kind of lush, romantic florals youâd find in a Victorian glasshouse. The palette is soft and luminous: ivory, blush, soft peach, pale yellow, and every shade of green. Blooms are delicate and garden-inspired: Keira garden roses, Juliet garden roses, white ranunculus, blush sweet peas (when available, typically spring), white lisianthus, jasmine vine, hellebores (winter through spring), and white anemones. Foliage is equally important: maidenhair fern, plumosa fern, smilax, spirea, and flowering branches in season (cherry blossom, plum, quince). Vessels should feel organic and natural: ceramic compotes in white and pale gray, wooden boxes, and clear glass cylinders that disappear visually and let the blooms float. The key is to create arrangements that feel like theyâre growing rather than placed â slightly overgrown, with trailing elements and varied heights. This palette works beautifully for daytime ceremonies and receptions, where the Greenhouseâs natural light makes every petal glow. Itâs also lovely for the Wine Garden, where it complements the existing landscaping without overwhelming the waterfront views.
Seasonal Considerations
Seattleâs climate is maritime temperate, which translates to mild, wet winters and cool, dry summers â though âdryâ is relative, and you should always have a weather backup plan. The city experiences about 150 days of measurable precipitation per year, but summer (June through September) offers the most reliably pleasant weather for outdoor ceremonies in the Wine Garden. Hereâs what to expect seasonally and how it affects Almquist Family Winery wedding flowers.
Spring (March-May): Seattle springs are famously gorgeous, with the entire city blooming from cherry blossoms to tulips to rhododendrons. Temperatures range from the mid-40s to low 60s, with frequent rain showers that clear quickly. For florals, spring offers incredible local availability: tulips (Washington State is the second-largest tulip producer in the U.S.), daffodils, hellebores, ranunculus, anemones, sweet peas, and flowering branches (cherry, plum, quince). The Greenhouse is spectacular in spring, when you can extend the blooming-garden feeling indoors with abundant seasonal flowers. Outdoor ceremonies in the Wine Garden are possible but risky â have the Greenhouse as a backup. The Barrel Room is fully available during spring months, making March through early May ideal for couples wanting that space. Spring weddings benefit from the longer daylight hours (sunset moves from 7:00 PM in March to 8:30 PM by May) and the fresh energy of the season.
Summer (June-August): Summer is peak wedding season in Seattle for good reason: June through August brings the most reliably dry, warm weather, with temperatures in the 70s and occasional heat waves pushing into the 80s or 90s. The famous Seattle overcast typically breaks by mid-June, giving way to clear blue skies and that golden Pacific Northwest light that photographers dream about. Sunset doesnât happen until after 9:00 PM in June and July, which means outdoor receptions in the Wine Garden can extend well into the evening with natural light. For florals, summer offers peak garden rose season, dahlias, zinnias, cosmos, sunflowers, delphinium, lisianthus, and local-grown herbs and foliage. The heat can be a concern for delicate blooms â garden roses and sweet peas wilt quickly in direct sun, so if youâre doing Wine Garden cocktail hour, keep arrangements in shade or use hardier blooms like dahlias and spray roses. Remember that the Barrel Room becomes unavailable after mid-August, so couples wanting that space need to plan for June, July, or early August. Outdoor weddings are most viable during summer, with the Wine Garden fully showcased and minimal weather risk.
Fall (September-November): Seattle falls are mild and gradually wetter, with temperatures dropping from the 60s in September to the 50s by November. Rain returns in earnest by October, and daylight hours shorten quickly (sunset is 7:30 PM in September, 4:30 PM by November). The surrounding landscape turns beautiful shades of gold and rust, and the Ship Canal views take on that moody Pacific Northwest quality. For florals, fall is dahlia season at its peak, along with chrysanthemums, amaranthus, celosia, marigolds, and all the burgundy and rust tones that define autumn. Foliage becomes the star: turning maple leaves, oak branches, bittersweet, and berries. The significant scheduling consideration for fall is that the Barrel Room is unavailable until December 1 due to harvest and production, which eliminates the largest reception space for much of autumn. However, the Greenhouse and Restaurant are fully available and particularly beautiful in fall, when the earlier sunset means candlelit dinners happen naturally. Outdoor ceremonies become increasingly risky after mid-September; plan for the Greenhouse or have a clear contingency plan.
Winter (December-February): Seattle winters are gray, wet, and surprisingly mild, with temperatures typically in the 40s and occasional cold snaps bringing frost or even rare snow. Rain is frequent but rarely heavy, more of a persistent mist that locals navigate without umbrellas. Daylight is limited (sunset around 4:30 PM), which means winter weddings are almost entirely candlelit, indoor affairs â and the Greenhouse absolutely shines under those conditions, with string lights and candles glowing against the dark glass. For florals, winter requires more creativity with availability, but the season offers hellebores, anemones, ranunculus, amaryllis, evergreen foliage, berries, and forced branches. The Barrel Room becomes available again December 1, making early winter an excellent option for couples who want that space. Winter weddings at Almquist lean heavily on candlelight, greenery, and the cozy, intimate atmosphere that emerges when rain is tapping against the Greenhouse glass and everyoneâs gathered inside with good wine and warm light.
Poppyâs Expert Take
The Barrel Room blackout dates are non-negotiable. This is a working winery, and harvest season takes priority over everything else. If you have your heart set on the Barrel Room (the largest space, accommodating 200), you cannot book between August 15 and December 1. Plan accordingly or choose a different time of year. Weâve had couples try to negotiate these dates, and the answer is always the same: the wine comes first. Respect it, plan around it, and youâll have access to one of Seattleâs most unique industrial-rustic reception spaces.
The Greenhouse is a fishbowl in the best and worst ways. Those floor-to-ceiling glass walls mean every floral installation is visible from every angle, and thereâs nowhere to hide a less-than-perfect moment. This is not the venue for last-minute DIY florals or shortcuts. Everything needs to be finished on all sides, properly constructed, and professionally installed. But hereâs the reward: that same transparency means your florals are showcased spectacularly, photographing beautifully from both inside and outside the glass. Invest in quality design for the Greenhouse, because it will be the star of your wedding photos.
Weather backups for the Wine Garden are essential, not optional. Seattle has gorgeous summers, but rain can appear with little warning even in July. Always have a contingency plan for moving an outdoor ceremony into the Greenhouse, and communicate that plan clearly with your photographer, officiant, and coordinator. The good news: the Greenhouse is such a beautiful backup that many couples end up preferring it even when the weather cooperates. Have your florist design ceremony installations that can work in either space â a low, wide arch that fits through doorways, for example, rather than a massive structure that only makes sense outdoors.
That 53-foot marble bar deserves strategic floral investment. The Restaurantâs bar is a show-stopper, but covering all 53 feet with florals would blow your budget and look cluttered. Instead, create impact at the ends with tall, dramatic arrangements and punctuate the length with simple bud vases or votives. This approach gives you the visual effect of a fully decorated bar without the expense or visual overwhelm. The marble reflects light beautifully, so even minimal arrangements photograph richly.
Coordinate with Table Catering Co. early on floral placement. Since Table Catering manages the venue and handles all food service, they have strong opinions about where arrangements can and cannot go, particularly in the Restaurant and on the bar. Connect your florist with the catering team early to discuss table sizes, service flow, and any restrictions on floral placement. This prevents last-minute scrambles on the wedding day when your florist arrives with designs that donât fit the table layout.
Urban load-in means timing matters. Nickerson Street is a working industrial corridor, and traffic can be unpredictable, especially during weekday rush hours or when the Fremont drawbridge is up for marine traffic. For Saturday weddings, this is less of an issue, but for Friday evening events or Sunday brunches, plan your floral delivery window carefully. Poppy typically loads in during mid-morning for evening events, avoiding both morning bridge openings and afternoon setup congestion when other vendors arrive.
Pet-friendly means planning for four-legged guests. Almquist welcomes dogs, and many Seattle couples take full advantage. If youâre planning to have your dog in the ceremony or reception, talk to your florist about avoiding toxic blooms (lilies, tulips, sago palm, azalea) and using sturdy arrangements that wonât topple if a curious pup investigates. Low ground installations should be designed with this in mind â anchored securely and free of hanging elements that might be tempting to a dogâs nose.
What Poppy Couples Spend on Flowers Here
While Poppy doesnât yet have booking history at Almquist Family Winery, weâve designed for dozens of Seattle urban weddings in similar industrial-chic venues, and budget patterns are consistent across the city. Hereâs what couples typically invest for Almquist Family Winery wedding flowers, broken into three tiers that reflect different priorities and scales.
$2,800 - $4,500 | The Essentials
This tier covers the fundamentals for an intimate wedding of 50-80 guests, typically using the Greenhouse for ceremony and reception or splitting between the Greenhouse and Restaurant. Your floral budget includes a ceremony installation â either a ground-based crescent arrangement with garden roses, dahlias, and trailing greenery for a Greenhouse ceremony, or a simple wooden arch dressed with smilax and clusters of blooms for a Wine Garden ceremony. Reception centerpieces for 6-8 tables in compote-style vessels (low and lush, using seasonal blooms like Quicksand roses, ranunculus, and cafĂŠ au lait dahlias), plus arrangements for the bar or entry to mark the space. Personal flowers include one bridal bouquet and 2-4 bridesmaid bouquets in smaller scale, plus boutonnieres for the couple and immediate family. This tier focuses your budget on the most photographed moments â ceremony and tables â while keeping installations modest in scale. The Greenhouseâs architecture does much of the heavy lifting, so you donât need extensive florals to create impact.
$4,500 - $7,000 | The Full Picture
This mid-tier budget works beautifully for weddings of 80-120 guests using multiple spaces â perhaps ceremony in the Wine Garden with reception in the Barrel Room, or a Greenhouse ceremony flowing into the Restaurant for cocktails and the Barrel Room for dinner and dancing. Your floral investment includes a substantial ceremony installation: a fully dressed wooden arch or hexagon structure with abundant greenery (smilax, plumosa, Italian ruscus) and clusters of blooms throughout, plus aisle markers (shepherdâs hooks with hanging arrangements or clusters in galvanized buckets). Reception centerpieces for 10-15 tables in varied heights â some low compotes, some elevated arrangements on clear risers to create visual dimension â using a full palette of blooms (garden roses, dahlias, ranunculus, lisianthus, with textural accents like scabiosa and tweedia). Add a dramatic bar installation for the Restaurantâs marble bar (statement urns at each end plus bud vases running the length), plus arrangements for the Barrel Room bars and entry. Personal flowers include a large, garden-style bridal bouquet, 4-6 bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres for wedding party and family, and corsages if desired. This tier allows for impact across multiple spaces, with enough variety in arrangements to create visual interest throughout the venue.
$7,000+ | The Full Experience
For couples planning a larger celebration (120-200 guests) or wanting truly show-stopping floral installations, this tier transforms every space. Your budget includes a dramatic ceremony installation â perhaps a suspended installation above the ceremony area in the Greenhouse (floating orbs filled with blooms and fern, hung at varied heights) or a fully constructed arbor with dense coverage for a Wine Garden ceremony, plus substantial aisle markers and a ground installation where the couple stands. Reception florals become a major design element: centerpieces for 20+ tables in multiple styles and vessels, creating a layered, abundant look. Add large-scale installations for the Barrel Room (urns atop barrels, a garland installation above the bar or dance floor, lounge area arrangements), a linear installation running the full length of the Restaurantâs marble bar, and Greenhouse entry arrangements that frame the transition from cocktails to dinner. Include elevated installations like a floral chandelier or garland cloud suspended above the head table. Personal flowers expand to include a cascading bridal bouquet, 6-10 bridesmaid bouquets, full wedding party boutonnieres and corsages, and potentially additional accents like flower girl crowns or ceremony floral collars for pets. This tier is for couples who view flowers as central to their design vision and want florals to be a conversation piece at every turn. Almquistâs industrial bones can handle abundant florals without feeling overdone â the rough brick and concrete actually benefit from the softness.
