Bouquets to carry
The bouquet you hold, and the ones your attendants hold beside you. Built to your colors and to the weight you want in your hands — tight and round, or loose and garden-grown.

The flowers you carry, cut close to the day.
We take a limited number of weddings each season, so that the flowers are cut close to the day and arranged by the same hands that met you. Every wedding is quoted after a conversation — there is no wedding price list, and no deposit until you have seen the number.
We have been doing this in Concord, Massachusetts since 1898.

Our work
Weddings we have made, in four parts.
Photographs of our own work — not a catalog, and not stock.
Ceremony
The arch you stand under, the altar pieces, the flowers that mark the aisle. Designed for the room you chose, and set up on site by the people who made them.
See the photographsReception
Centerpieces, the head table, and the small arrangements that carry the day into the evening. Chosen to sit at the height where people can still see each other across the table.
See the photographsFlowers to wear
Boutonnières, corsages and the pieces worn in the hair. Small work, and the part guests look at most closely because it sits at arm's length all night.

A written quote with the flowers named and the pieces counted. No deposit until you've seen that number.

Questions couples ask
The things worth knowing before you call.
- How does pricing work for wedding flowers?
- Every wedding is quoted by hand, after a conversation — there is no wedding price list. You get a written quote with the flowers named and the pieces counted, so nothing at the end is a surprise, and there is no deposit until you have seen that number.
- When should we book our wedding florist?
- As early as you can. We take a limited number of weddings each season, and the earlier you call, the more of the season we can still buy for you. Once the date is agreed, your flowers are ordered to land in our cooler days before the wedding — not weeks before.
- What do you make for a wedding?
- Bridal and attendant bouquets, ceremony arches and altar pieces, reception centerpieces, and boutonnières and corsages. If you are picturing something that is not on that list, it is worth asking on the phone.
- Do you set up at the venue?
- Yes. Everything is arranged here on Commonwealth Avenue in Concord and delivered by us. For installations we set up on site, and we come back afterwards for the vessels.
- Can we see your work before we call?
- Yes — four galleries of weddings we have done: bouquets to carry, ceremony, reception, and flowers to wear. They are photographs of our own work, not a catalog.
- Who actually arranges the flowers?
- The person who takes your call is the person who arranges the flowers. The Concord Flower Shop has been doing this work in Concord, Massachusetts since 1898.
