You turn off Coast Boulevard and there it is — not hidden, not grand, just precisely where it should be: a compact community building perched between the palms and the Pacific. The Powerhouse sits at one of the lowest points along Del Mar Beach, which means the ocean is not a distant postcard view but an immediate presence. You hear the waves before you see them. The building itself is unassuming, painted in soft neutrals that defer to the landscape, with a latticework trellis wrapping the patio and an upper deck that catches the full force of the sunset. Walk through the gate and the entire sensory experience shifts — salt air, the rustle of palm fronds, the particular quality of light that only exists at sea level when the sun is low and golden. This is not a polished resort or a manicured estate. This is a genuine beach venue, where your ceremony might be accompanied by the sound of waves breaking and your reception toasts will taste faintly of ocean spray. The Powerhouse offers 115 guests maximum capacity across its indoor and outdoor spaces, which makes it ideal for couples seeking an intimate coastal celebration without the formality of larger beachfront properties. While Poppy hasn’t yet designed Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center wedding flowers for a completed celebration here, we have consulted with 26 couples drawn to this venue’s relaxed authenticity and unbeatable location.

About Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center

The Powerhouse Community Center occupies a rare piece of San Diego County coastline — directly adjacent to Del Mar Beach with unobstructed ocean access and views that stretch from the reef formations below to the horizon line where the Pacific meets the sky. The building itself is modest, a municipal community center operated by the City of Del Mar, which means the rental process is straightforward and the space comes without the usual wedding venue markup. You will not find chandeliers or marble floors here. What you will find is authenticity: a functional, well-maintained facility that has hosted everything from neighborhood potlucks to milestone celebrations, with trellis-covered outdoor areas, an upper deck perfect for cocktail hour, and interior spaces that can be dressed up or down depending on your vision.

The venue’s architectural style is understated California coastal — clean lines, open-air flow between indoor and outdoor zones, and an emphasis on maximizing the natural surroundings rather than competing with them. The trellis-covered patio is the heart of the property, with a lattice roof that filters sunlight during the day and creates dramatic shadow patterns at dusk. This structure supports climbing greenery year-round and provides an ideal framework for floral installations without requiring elaborate rigging or rental arches. The upper deck, accessed via exterior stairs, offers an elevated vantage point with 180-degree ocean views — it is smaller than the patio but perfect for intimate ceremonies or cocktail receptions where you want guests to feel suspended between sky and sea.

Adjacent to the building is Powerhouse Park, a grassy green space with walking paths, mature palms, and direct sightlines to the water. This park is technically separate from the venue rental but accessible to your guests, and many couples use it for ceremony sites or pre-wedding photos. The beach itself is steps away — soft sand, gentle waves, and the kind of iconic Southern California coastline that appears in every destination wedding mood board. The venue sits at what locals describe as one of the lowest elevations along Del Mar Beach, which translates to easier access and less dramatic cliff backdrops but more immediate contact with the sand and surf.

Del Mar Village surrounds the Powerhouse with the kind of upscale-casual charm that defines North County San Diego. Within a five-minute walk, you will find boutique hotels, farm-to-table restaurants, surf shops, and the Del Mar Plaza with its terraced ocean-view dining. The neighborhood has a European seaside village quality — walkable, unhurried, affluent without being ostentatious. For guests traveling in, Del Mar is roughly 20 minutes north of downtown San Diego and 35 minutes from San Diego International Airport, making it accessible for destination weddings while feeling genuinely removed from urban sprawl.

From a florist’s perspective, the Powerhouse is logistically straightforward. Load-in occurs via the parking area adjacent to the building, with level access to both the patio and interior spaces. The venue does not have a dedicated coordinator, so couples work directly with the City of Del Mar’s permitting office and are responsible for setup and breakdown, including furniture arrangement. This DIY approach means your floral designer needs to plan for installations that do not require extensive venue support or last-minute adjustments by staff who may not be present. Poppy’s team factors in the salt air, consistent coastal breeze, and the likelihood that any outdoor arrangements will be exposed to full sun during setup, which influences our choice of mechanics, vessels, and bloom varieties. The venue requires a certificate of insurance naming the City of Del Mar as additional insured, and all vendors must comply with the city’s ban on styrofoam serviceware and plastic straws — details that matter less for florals but speak to the venue’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

Event Spaces & Floral Opportunities

Trellis-Covered Patio

Capacity: Part of the 115-person total venue capacity (mixed indoor/outdoor)

Setting: This is the Powerhouse’s signature space — a covered veranda with a wooden lattice roof that creates dappled shade during the day and a framework for lighting and florals after dark. The patio opens directly to views of palms and surf, with the Pacific stretching out beyond the low wall that separates the venue from Powerhouse Park. The floor is concrete, the furnishings are portable (tables and chairs brought in by the couple or caterer), and the aesthetic is intentionally minimal so you can layer in your own vision. The trellis structure itself is the architectural focal point, its geometric pattern repeating overhead and providing natural support for hanging installations without requiring additional rigging points.

Floral approach: The trellis is a floral designer’s dream — built-in structure that can support hanging arrangements, cascading greenery, and suspended installations without the need for rented arches or free-standing frames. For Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center wedding flowers on the patio, consider long garlands of smilax, eucalyptus, or plumosa fern woven through the lattice overhead, with clusters of white garden roses (Patience, Alabaster), blush spray roses (Majolica, Princess Aiko), and trailing jasmine vine tucked into the greenery at intervals. The effect is lush but not heavy, romantic but not fussy, and it transforms the utilitarian trellis into something that feels intentional and designed. For dinner receptions, low centerpieces are essential — anything tall will block the ocean view and the cross-table conversation that makes intimate weddings memorable. We favor compote-style arrangements in textured ceramic or aged terracotta vessels, filled with garden roses, ranunculus, lisianthus, and scabiosa in soft coastal tones (ivory, blush, sand, pale blue). Add texture with dusty miller, silver brunia, and seeded eucalyptus to echo the beach grasses visible beyond the patio. If you are hosting your ceremony on the patio, a simple arrangement flanking the officiant’s position works better than a large arch, which can feel out of scale in this intimate space. Two large urns overflowing with white hydrangea, quicksand roses, and trailing amaranthus create a focal point without overwhelming the natural backdrop.

Upper Deck

Capacity: Part of the 115-person total venue capacity (best for cocktails or small ceremonies)

Setting: The upper deck is accessed via exterior stairs and sits one level above the patio, offering an elevated view of the coastline and the park below. This space is smaller and more exposed to the elements — full sun during the day, strong coastal breeze in the late afternoon, and unobstructed sunset views that make it ideal for cocktail hour or intimate ceremonies timed to golden hour. The deck has simple railings, no overhead cover, and a more open, airy feeling than the sheltered patio below. It is not a space for a seated dinner (the footprint is too small and there is no weather protection), but it is perfect for the transitional moments of your wedding day when guests are mingling, sipping champagne, and taking in the view.

Floral approach: On the upper deck, florals need to be low-profile and wind-resistant. Tall arrangements will topple in the consistent coastal breeze, and anything delicate will look bedraggled within an hour. Instead, focus on sturdy, sculptural designs that hug the deck surface. Succulent-forward arrangements in low wooden boxes or shallow ceramic bowls work beautifully here — mix echeveria, aeonium, and senecio with small clusters of billy balls, scabiosa pods, and silver brunia for texture. These arrangements can withstand wind, salt air, and full sun, and they will look fresh throughout cocktail hour without wilting. For a ceremony on the upper deck, consider lining the short aisle with hurricane lanterns anchored with sand and surrounded by low rings of greenery and blooms at the base — this keeps florals at ground level where they are protected from wind while still creating a defined ceremony path. If you are using the deck for cocktails, a single dramatic arrangement on the bar or a pair of arrangements flanking the entrance stairs signals the transition from ceremony to reception without requiring florals on every surface. Hanging arrangements from the deck railing is possible but requires careful mechanics — use zip ties or floral wire to secure foam cages or small vases to the railing, then fill with hardy blooms like roses, carnations, and solidago that can handle exposure.

Interior Spaces

Capacity: Part of the 115-person total venue capacity (flexible use)

Setting: The Powerhouse’s interior is a blank canvas — neutral walls, functional lighting, and an open floor plan that allows for flexible furniture arrangement. There are no grand architectural details, no statement chandeliers, and no built-in focal points, which means every design choice you make will be highly visible. The interior connects to the patio and deck via multiple access points, creating natural flow between indoor and outdoor zones. Most couples use the interior as a backup plan for weather or as a staging area for catering and bar service, but it can also function as the primary reception space if you prefer climate control and protection from the elements.

Floral approach: In the interior, florals do the heavy lifting of transforming a community center into a celebration space. Focus your budget on high-impact moments: a dramatic installation on the bar (a lush arrangement of white hydrangea, ivory roses, and cascading amaranthus in a large ceramic urn), elevated centerpieces that create vertical interest in the otherwise low-ceilinged room (tall glass cylinders filled with submerged monstera leaves and floating gardenias, or elevated trumpet vases with long-stemmed lilies and delphinium), and a statement arrangement at the entrance that signals to guests that they have arrived somewhere special. The neutral walls allow for any color palette, but we recommend staying within the coastal aesthetic that the outdoor spaces establish — whites, creams, soft blues, sandy taupes, and hints of coral or peach to warm things up. If you are hosting your reception indoors, consider a greenery installation on one wall — a living backdrop of ferns, eucalyptus, and smilax that photographs beautifully and visually connects the interior to the lush outdoor landscape.

Powerhouse Park Green Space

Capacity: Public park adjacent to venue (accessible to guests)

Setting: Powerhouse Park is a grassy area with walking paths, mature palm trees, and unobstructed views of the ocean and beach below. The park is maintained by the City of Del Mar and is technically separate from the Powerhouse rental, but it is immediately adjacent and most couples incorporate it into their wedding day for photos, ceremony sites, or guest exploration before the formal celebration begins. The lawn is well-kept, the palms provide natural shade and a distinctly Southern California aesthetic, and the elevation offers a slightly elevated perspective on the coastline that makes for stunning photos. There is no formal structure here — no gazebo, no permanent seating, no defined ceremony area — which means you bring in everything you need and leave no trace behind.

Floral approach: If you are hosting your ceremony in Powerhouse Park, keep the floral installations minimal and portable. A simple fabric-draped frame or a driftwood arch anchored with sandbags works better than an elaborate rental structure that will require significant setup time and may not be permitted by the city. Adorn the arch with clusters of white roses, hydrangea, and trailing greenery (smilax, jasmine, plumosa) on one side, allowing the natural palm backdrop to fill the rest of the frame. Line the aisle with shepherd’s hooks holding small arrangements in mason jars or glass vases — a mix of garden roses, spray roses, and lisianthus in whites and blush tones that tie into the arch without overpowering the grass and palms. Keep the arrangements compact and anchored; the coastal breeze is consistent in this exposed location. If you are using the park only for photos, consider a single large arrangement placed strategically near the palms or along the walking path — a burst of color and texture that gives your photographer a floral moment without requiring full ceremony décor.

Beach Access

Capacity: N/A (open beach, public access)

Setting: The Powerhouse sits at one of the most accessible points along Del Mar Beach, with just a short walk across the sand from the venue to the water’s edge. The beach here is wide, soft, and consistently beautiful, with gentle waves, scattered reef formations visible at low tide, and the kind of golden-hour light that makes every photo look professionally edited. The beach is public, which means you will share the space with surfers, families, and evening joggers, but it also means you have the freedom to use it for photos, for a casual post-ceremony toast with toes in the sand, or even for an intimate beachside ceremony if you keep it small and low-key.

Floral approach: Beach ceremonies require a completely different approach to Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center wedding flowers than the sheltered patio or park. Everything must be weighted, anchored, and built to withstand wind, sand, and the possibility of moisture from ocean spray or an unexpected wave. For a beach ceremony, use driftwood as your base material — either a driftwood arch (which can be rented or DIY’d with pieces sourced locally) or low driftwood markers lining the aisle. Anchor everything with sandbags hidden beneath fabric or tucked into the sand itself. For florals, choose hardy varieties that can tolerate exposure: roses (especially the Patience and Quicksand varieties, which are sturdy), carnations (deeply underrated for beach weddings because they last forever and come in every color), solidago, billy balls, and succulents. Fill in with seeded eucalyptus, dusty miller, and olive branches for texture. Avoid delicate blooms like sweet peas, anemones, or garden roses with thin petals — they will wilt in the heat and salt air within an hour. Use vessels that can be buried slightly in the sand for stability: galvanized buckets, ceramic crocks, or even hurricane lanterns with sand and a single floating gardenia. Keep the color palette soft and coastal — ivory, sand, soft peach, pale coral, and hints of dusty blue — so the florals feel like a natural extension of the beach environment rather than an imported garden.

Wedding Flower Ideas for Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center

Pacific Drift

This concept embraces the raw, organic beauty of the Southern California coastline with a palette drawn directly from the beach outside the Powerhouse doors. Start with a base of whites and creams — Patience roses, white hydrangea, ivory lisianthus, and white majolica spray roses — then layer in coastal textures: dusty miller (that silvery-blue foliage that mimics beach grass), seeded eucalyptus (with its soft sage tones and organic seed pods), silver brunia (those perfect little spheres that look like miniature sand dollars), and bleached ti leaves. Add sculptural elements with dried palm fronds, pieces of driftwood incorporated into the mechanics, and actual sand layered into the base of low arrangements. The vessels should feel collected rather than matched — weathered ceramic, aged terracotta, driftwood boxes, and repurposed glass. This palette works beautifully on the trellis-covered patio, where the textures catch the dappled light, and in Powerhouse Park, where the muted tones do not compete with the ocean backdrop. For the upper deck, use this concept in succulent-heavy arrangements that can withstand the wind and sun exposure.

Sunset Nectar

If Pacific Drift is soft and neutral, Sunset Nectar is its bolder, warmer cousin — a palette inspired by the famous Del Mar sunsets that paint the sky in shades of coral, peach, mango, and blushing pink. The base florals are Free Spirit roses (that gorgeous coral-peach tone), Juliet garden roses (when you can get them — they are the perfect peachy-apricot), peach ranunculus, coral spray roses, and peachy-pink lisianthus. Warm it up further with mango calla lilies, coral dahlias (Labyrinth or Cornel varieties), and touches of yellow — solidago, billy balls, or even small sunflowers if the season allows. The greenery should stay soft and silvery to balance the warmth — seeded eucalyptus, dusty miller, olive branches. This palette is stunning in the golden hour light on the upper deck, where the colors will glow against the ocean backdrop, and it works equally well for an indoor reception where the warmth of the flowers brings energy to the neutral walls. Use brass or copper vessels to amplify the warmth, or stick with natural wood and ceramic to keep the beach vibe grounded. This is a perfect choice for couples who want their florals to feel joyful and sun-drenched without tipping into full tropical territory.

Blue Lagoon

For couples drawn to the cooler, more tranquil tones of the ocean, Blue Lagoon offers a palette that is both sophisticated and unmistakably coastal. The foundation is whites and soft blues — white hydrangea, ivory Patience roses, white lisianthus, and the palest blue delphinium you can source (it is tricky to find true soft blue, but worth the effort). Add depth with dusty blue eryngium (sea holly — the name alone makes it perfect for a beach venue), blue thistle, and pale blue tweedia. For texture, incorporate silver accents: dusty miller, silver brunia, eucalyptus in the most silvery varieties (baby blue or silver dollar). The overall effect is cool, serene, and utterly refined — think ocean on a calm morning rather than a fiery sunset. This palette is particularly striking in the interior spaces, where the cooler tones create a sophisticated atmosphere, and it works beautifully for ceremony arrangements in Powerhouse Park, where the blues and silvers read as elegant against the green lawn and blue sky. Use glass and white ceramic vessels to keep the palette light and airy, or incorporate driftwood and natural wood tones to ground the arrangements in the coastal environment.

Seasonal Considerations

Del Mar’s Mediterranean climate is famously mild, with an average annual temperature of 64 degrees and over 260 days of sunshine. This makes the Powerhouse a viable venue year-round, but each season brings subtle shifts in weather, light, and locally available blooms that should inform your Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center wedding flowers.

Spring (March through May) is one of the most popular seasons for Del Mar weddings, and for good reason. The weather is ideal — daytime temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s, minimal chance of rain after March, and that crystalline coastal light that makes everything look sharp and saturated. The marine layer (locally known as “May Gray” or “June Gloom”) can roll in during late spring mornings, creating a soft, diffused light that burns off by early afternoon. For florals, spring is peak season for ranunculus, anemones, sweet peas, and tulips, all of which thrive in the cooler temperatures and add a garden-fresh quality to arrangements. Local California-grown peonies start appearing in April and are worth the splurge if your budget allows. Spring also brings the super bloom years when rainfall has been abundant — while this does not directly affect your floral availability, it does mean the surrounding hillsides and parks will be lush and green, creating a beautiful backdrop for photos.

Summer (June through August) means guaranteed sunshine, warmer temperatures (typically mid-70s to low 80s), and the most predictable weather of any season. The tradeoff is that the Powerhouse can feel quite warm during midday, especially on the upper deck and in the interior spaces without climate control. For florals, summer heat means choosing varieties that can tolerate exposure and will not wilt during your ceremony or cocktail hour. Roses are your workhorse bloom — they are available year-round, but summer varieties tend to be more robust. Hydrangeas, lisianthus, carnations (yes, carnations — they are having a moment and they last forever in heat), and tropical foliage all perform well in summer conditions. Avoid delicate garden roses with thin petals and skip the sweet peas entirely — they will be sad and droopy within an hour. Summer is also peak wedding season, which means floral prices are slightly higher and availability of the most popular varieties can be competitive. Book your florist early and be flexible on specific bloom choices.

Fall (September through November) is, in this florist’s opinion, the ideal season for a Powerhouse wedding. The summer crowds thin out, the temperatures cool to a perfect range (low 70s during the day, crisp evenings), and the light takes on that golden, slanted quality that photographers dream about. September can still be quite warm, but by October and November you are in true California fall — sweater weather for evening receptions, minimal marine layer, and sunsets that seem to last for hours. For florals, fall is the season of dahlias (in every conceivable color and size), garden roses (the cooler temperatures bring out the best in these beauties), marigolds, chrysanthemums (the fancy, unexpected varieties, not your grocery store mums), and rich, moody foliage like burgundy leucadendron and amaranthus. This is the season to lean into warmer tones — rust, terracotta, deep coral, burnt orange — that echo the changing light. Fall also brings lower floral prices as demand drops post-summer, which means your budget stretches further.

Winter (December through February) is the quietest season at the Powerhouse, and the one most likely to require a weather backup plan. While Del Mar rarely experiences harsh winter weather, December through February does bring the possibility of rain, cooler temperatures (daytime highs in the low 60s), and stronger coastal winds. Winter weddings here work best when you embrace the season — plan for an interior reception with the patio as a weather-permitting bonus rather than the primary space, provide blankets or heaters for guests if you are using outdoor areas, and time your ceremony for midday when temperatures are warmest. For florals, winter is the season of unexpected beauty: amaryllis (those dramatic, architectural blooms), anemones (which actually prefer cooler weather and are at their most vivid in winter), hellebores, ranunculus (back in season after a summer hiatus), and evergreen foliage like pine, cedar, and noble fir if you are leaning into holiday vibes. Winter florals tend to be less expensive overall, and the cooler temperatures mean everything lasts beautifully without wilting. If you are planning a winter Powerhouse wedding, embrace the intimacy of the season, use candlelight generously, and let the florals bring warmth and richness to the simpler outdoor backdrop.

Poppy’s Expert Take

Plan for full sun exposure during setup. Load-in at the Powerhouse typically happens in the afternoon, which means your floral designer will be working in direct sun with no shade on the upper deck and limited shade on the patio. Delicate blooms like peonies, garden roses with thin petals, and anything in the ranunculus family will show heat stress quickly if they are out of water in full sun for extended periods. Communicate with your florist about timing — earlier load-in when possible, and arrangements that are designed to be assembled quickly rather than requiring extensive on-site styling. Once installed, everything will be fine (especially if your event starts closer to sunset when temperatures drop), but the setup window matters. We often pre-make as much as possible in our studio and arrive with arrangements that need only final placement rather than full construction on-site.

The trellis is your built-in arch. One of the best features of the Powerhouse is that lattice-covered patio, which provides a ready-made structure for floral installations without requiring you to rent a ceremony arch or free-standing frame. Many couples default to renting an arch because that is what they see in wedding magazines, but at the Powerhouse it is unnecessary and often looks out of place. Instead, invest in lush garlands woven through the existing trellis, with clusters of blooms at key focal points. This approach saves money on rentals, looks more organic and integrated with the venue architecture, and creates a dramatic overhead moment that photographs beautifully. If you are set on having an arch, consider a minimalist driftwood structure that complements the beach setting rather than a traditional floral arch that competes with the ocean backdrop.

Use the interior as your statement moment. Because the Powerhouse’s outdoor spaces are so naturally beautiful, many couples focus their design energy on the patio and deck and treat the interior as an afterthought. This is a missed opportunity. The interior is where you have the most control over the environment and where your guests will spend significant time (especially if you are serving dinner inside or using it as a weather backup). This is where you should splurge on a dramatic bar arrangement, elevated centerpieces, or a living wall installation that transforms the space from community center to celebration venue. The outdoor spaces will be beautiful with minimal intervention; the interior needs your help. Budget accordingly.

Coordinate with your photographer on ceremony location and timing. The Powerhouse offers multiple ceremony options — the trellis patio, the upper deck, Powerhouse Park, or the beach itself — and the best choice depends entirely on your timeline and priorities. For sunset ceremonies, the upper deck is unbeatable for light and views, but you will be shooting directly into the sun which can create exposure challenges for your photographer. For softer light and easier photography, late afternoon ceremonies in Powerhouse Park with the ocean as a backdrop work beautifully. Beach ceremonies are romantic but logistically tricky (public beach, wind, sand everywhere) and require a flexible photographer comfortable with environmental variables. Talk to your photographer before finalizing ceremony location and timing, and then communicate that information to your florist so we can design installations appropriate for the specific lighting, wind exposure, and backdrop of your chosen space.

Embrace the salt air with hardy blooms. The ocean breeze carries salt spray, especially on the upper deck and beach access areas, and not all flowers tolerate it well. Delicate blooms with thin petals (sweet peas, cosmos, some garden rose varieties) can show browning on petal edges within hours of exposure to salt air. Hardy varieties like roses (especially the Patience and Quicksand varieties), carnations, hydrangeas, succulents, solidago, and most tropical foliage perform beautifully in coastal conditions. If you have your heart set on a more delicate bloom, place those arrangements in the most sheltered interior locations and save the hardy varieties for outdoor exposure. This is not about limiting your options; it is about putting the right flowers in the right locations so everything looks fresh throughout your celebration.

Clarify setup and breakdown responsibilities early. The Powerhouse requires couples to handle their own furniture setup and breakdown, and the same expectation often extends to decor and florals. Unlike a full-service venue where staff will move your centerpieces or store arrangements between ceremony and reception, here you need to designate someone (your coordinator, a responsible family member, or your floral team if that is part of your contract) to handle transitions. If you are doing a ceremony on the upper deck followed by a reception on the patio, who is moving the ceremony arrangements? If you want to repurpose ceremony florals as reception décor, who is making that happen? These are logistical details that seem minor until the day itself, when they can create stress if not addressed in advance. Poppy can handle setup and breakdown of our installations as part of our service, but we need to know that expectation upfront so we can staff and schedule appropriately.

What Poppy Couples Spend on Flowers Here

While we have not yet completed a wedding at the Powerhouse, the 26 consultations we have done for this venue give us a clear picture of what couples are planning and where budgets typically land for this type of intimate coastal celebration.

$2,000 - $3,500 | The Beach Minimalist

This tier works for couples hosting 60-80 guests who want beautiful, intentional florals without extensive installations. Your budget includes personal flowers (one bridal bouquet, four bridesmaids, boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen, corsages for mothers), a medium-scale ceremony installation (either two large urns flanking the officiant, or a trellis garland with focal clusters, or aisle markers for a park or beach ceremony), and low centerpieces for 8-10 guest tables. At this level, we focus the design on one hero moment — typically the ceremony installation — and keep reception florals simple and repeatable. Garden roses, spray roses, lisianthus, and seasonal greenery form the base, with one or two accent flowers (scabiosa, ranunculus, or solidago) for texture. Vessels are rented from our inventory or sourced affordably (simple ceramic, mason jars for aisle markers). This budget does not stretch to dramatic overhead installations or multiple design styles, but it creates a cohesive, beautiful look that photographs well and feels abundant in the spaces where it matters most. For the Powerhouse specifically, we would recommend focusing your florals on the trellis patio (where guests will spend the most time) and keeping the upper deck minimal with a few low, succulent-based arrangements that can withstand wind.

$3,500 - $5,500 | The Coastal Classic

This mid-tier budget allows for fuller coverage across multiple spaces and more design complexity. You will have all the personal flowers (including more substantial bridesmaids’ bouquets and additional family corsages/boutonnieres), a significant ceremony installation (trellis garland running the full length of the patio roof with multiple focal clusters, or a driftwood arch for a beach ceremony fully adorned with florals, or substantial urns and aisle markers for a park ceremony), cocktail arrangements for the upper deck and bar area, and elevated centerpieces for 10-15 guest tables with variation in height and style. At this level, we can incorporate more premium blooms (garden roses, dahl
