À la carte,
from our garden

A simple way to order flowers for your wedding. Garden-grown, gathered by hand, and made with you in mind.

À la carte is for weddings that want lightly personal florals and no large installations. Pick a color palette, choose what you need from the menu below, add it to your order and check out. Every piece is designed in her loose, natural style from flowers grown in Ladue and on our farm in Augusta. All flowers are arranged in glass vases.

Frequently asked questions

What is à la carte?

A simple, no-fuss way to have beautiful wedding flowers. Choose one of our four color palettes, pick the pieces you need from the menu, and Janet designs each one with seasonal blooms, most of them grown in her own garden and on our farm. There is no minimum order, which makes it a lovely fit for elopements, small gatherings and couples on a budget.

Can I choose which flowers you use? What can I expect to see?

We can’t promise specific flowers. We are happy to hear your favorites and will honor them where we can, but we always put seasonal, locally grown blooms first, choosing whatever will make the most beautiful design on your day. Depending on the season, your flowers may include:

  • Spring: tulips, daffodils, ranunculus, peonies, foxglove, snowball viburnum, spirea
  • Summer: dahlias, zinnias, cosmos, lilies, lisianthus, phlox, gladiolus, hydrangeas
