Custom Floral Letters vs Real Flowers for Your Wedding or Event
Custom floral letters are wood letters covered in premium faux flowers, made to order in your colors. Real flowers are fresh blooms for a single day. The right pick comes down to what you want to keep, your timeline, and your budget.
Why our pieces win
Fresh flowers for a wedding can cost a small fortune, and a few days later they are in the trash. Our floral letters are made once, in your colors, and last a lifetime, so what you spend stays on your wall for years instead of in the compost. Many couples still carry fresh bouquets and pair them with our floral letters, name sign, and flower wall for the backdrop, the living look where it counts, and a keepsake everywhere else.
Your colors, your way
We match your palette from our in-house collection of premium faux flowers. If your heart is set on a specific shade we do not currently stock, just message us before you order and we will tell you how soon we can bring it in, so your piece comes out exactly as you pictured.
