Most traditional florists include an exclusivity clause in their contracts — you agree to use them, and only them, for all flowers at your wedding. Poppy doesn’t. You’re free to use Poppy however it works best for you: for all of your flowers, for just the high-impact pieces, or alongside anything else you have planned 1 Fiore Designs Wedding Florist Contract Guide .
How Couples Use This Flexibility
Poppy for personal flowers, DIY for decor. Your bouquets, boutonnieres, and ceremony focal point are the most photographed elements — and the hardest to get right on your own. Many couples let Poppy handle those and DIY simpler reception details like bud vases or greenery runners.
Poppy for the ceremony, DIY for the reception. A statement arch, chuppah, or aisle arrangement benefits from professional design and installation. Reception tables with candles, greenery, and a few accent blooms are more forgiving for DIY.
Poppy alongside another vendor. Some couples use Poppy for personal flowers and work with a local florist for a specific installation, or vice versa. No restrictions, no awkward conversations.
Poppy with silk or dried flowers. If you’re planning to use silk or dried florals for some elements, your designer can help coordinate colors so everything looks cohesive alongside your fresh Poppy flowers.
What’s Worth Going Professional
- Bridal bouquet — In almost every photo and needs to last 8+ hours
- Ceremony arch or focal point — Scale, structural integrity, and installation require experience
- Centerpieces with height or complexity — Tall arrangements, lush designs, or anything in foam
- Personal flowers — Boutonnieres, corsages, and hair flowers are small but precise
What Couples Often DIY
- Bud vases — Simple single-stem arrangements that don’t require professional technique
- Greenery runners — Loose greenery along tables, mantels, or railings
- Candle and greenery combos — Where candles are the focal point
- Petal scatter — Loose petals on tables or aisles
Your Budget, Your Call
A couple with a $2,500 flower budget might spend $1,750 with Poppy on bouquets, ceremony flowers, and head table arrangements, then put $300-$500 into DIY bud vases and greenery for guest tables — and end up with a fully decorated wedding that looks entirely intentional.
Your designer can help you figure out the right split. They’ll tell you honestly which elements benefit from professional design and which you can handle on your own.
