Courthouse Glow Up

They cut the guest list, not the flowers.

1 in 8 couples booking with Poppy this year are planning 50 guests or fewer, up from 1 in 12 last year; 1 in 4 small weddings choose an arch.

Small weddings aren't cutting the flowers: they spend about three-quarters as much as weddings three times their size, and roughly 2.5× as much per guest. What they skip is the arch: the money goes to the tables and the reception instead.

The numbers

• Couples booking weddings of 50 or fewer guests: 8.6% → 13.2% (booked in 2025 → 2026 so far)
• Couples booking weddings of 50 or fewer guests: 7.8% → 8.6% (booked in 2024 → 2025)
• Booked weddings of 50 or fewer guests: 9.3% → 10.3% (2025 → 2026 weddings)
• Booked weddings of 50 or fewer guests: 10.3% → 12.8% (2026 → 2027 weddings booked so far)
• Weddings of 50 or fewer guests that chose an arch: 28%, about 1 in 4 (2026 weddings)

Poppy couples with this look typically booked $2,000–$3,250 in flowers.
