Wedding Florals
Your Love Story,
Every wedding we work on begins with a conversation, not a catalogue. We want to understand your story as a couple, the atmosphere you hope to create, and the small details that matter most to you. There is no template and no formula. Your wedding flowers should feel as unique as your relationship, and that is what we set out to achieve with each commission.
Because we grow the majority of our flowers right here on our farm in Loughrea, County Galway, we can offer something that imported flower suppliers simply cannot: a direct connection between the soil and your celebration. Many of our couples visit the farm during the planning process to walk through the beds, smell the blooms, and choose colours and textures that speak to them in person. This hands-on experience often sparks ideas that no mood board could replicate.
For blooms that fall outside our growing season or colour palette, we partner with a small network of trusted Irish growers and sustainable suppliers. We never use floral foam, opting instead for chicken wire mechanics and compostable materials that leave no trace. Your flowers will be beautiful on the day and gentle on the planet long after the celebration ends.
We offer a complete range of wedding floral services, from a single bridal bouquet to full venue styling. Every element is designed to complement your chosen palette, venue, and season.
Your bouquet is the centrepiece of your bridal look. We design hand-tied bouquets, trailing cascades, posies, and single-stem statements tailored to your dress, colour scheme, and personal style. Each is bound with your choice of silk, linen, or lace ribbon and finished with care to last from morning photographs through to the final dance.
From €180
Set the scene for your vows with a floral arch, pew-end arrangements, or a meadow-style aisle runner made from loose petals and grasses. We work with your venue to design ceremony florals that frame your moment beautifully, whether you are marrying in a chapel, a castle, a barn, or barefoot on a beach in Connemara.
From €350
Whether you prefer low, lush bowls that encourage conversation or tall, dramatic arrangements that make a statement, we design centrepieces that set the tone for your reception. We also supply bud vases, garlands, and foliage runners for long banqueting tables, and can incorporate candles, fruit, and seasonal details.
From €45 per table
The finishing details matter. We craft buttonholes for the groom, groomsmen, fathers, and ushers, as well as wrist corsages and pin-on corsages for mothers and grandmothers. Each piece echoes the colours and textures of the bridal bouquet, creating a cohesive look for your wedding party from start to finish.
From €18 each
For couples who want a true showstopper, we create large-scale floral installations: suspended cloud arrangements above the dance floor, living walls behind the top table, flower-covered chandeliers, and entrance displays that set the tone from the moment guests arrive. These pieces create breathtaking focal points and unforgettable photographs.
From €600
Our most comprehensive offering covers every floral element of your day. We handle the ceremony, reception, entrance areas, cake table, bar, and any other spaces that need a touch of nature. We coordinate with your venue team on logistics, install everything on the morning, and collect hired vessels after the event at no additional charge.
Custom pricingFrom first enquiry to your wedding day, here is what you can expect when you choose Balenqui for your wedding flowers. We keep the process relaxed, personal, and creative.
Start by reaching out through our contact form, by email, or by phone. Share your wedding date, venue, and any early ideas you have about colours or style. We respond within 48 hours with availability confirmation and a few initial thoughts. This first conversation is always free, with absolutely no obligation.
12–18 months before your weddingWe invite you to visit the farm for a guided walk through the growing beds. Depending on the time of year, you might see dahlias in full colour, sweet peas climbing their supports, or early spring bulbs just emerging. Over tea, we discuss your mood, your venue, and the feeling you want your flowers to create. We find that seeing and touching real blooms sparks more inspiration than any Pinterest board. This consultation is complimentary.
9–12 months before your weddingBased on our conversation and your vision, we put together a detailed proposal that outlines every floral element, from your bouquet down to the last bud vase. The proposal includes descriptions, estimated bloom types, and transparent pricing. We refine this together until you are completely happy, and then secure your date with a deposit. Any adjustments are welcome right up until six weeks before the day.
6–9 months before your weddingIn the months leading up to your wedding, we monitor our growing beds carefully and plan our cutting schedule around your date. If your wedding calls for blooms outside our seasonal range, we coordinate with our network of Irish growers to source supplementary stems. We keep you updated with photographs from the farm so you can watch your flowers come to life.
2–6 months before your weddingFlowers are cut at dawn on the morning of your wedding (or the evening before for certain varieties). Our team delivers and installs every arrangement at your venue, coordinating with the wedding planner or venue manager to ensure everything is perfectly placed before your guests arrive. Personal flowers are delivered to wherever the wedding party is getting ready. You focus on the joy; we handle every petal.
The big dayA selection of our recent wedding work across venues throughout Ireland. Each celebration brought its own palette, personality, and season, and we loved every one of them.
"Siobhán and her team created the most extraordinary flower arch for our ceremony at Ashford Castle. Walking underneath it felt like stepping into a fairy tale. The scent was heavenly and the colours were exactly the soft, romantic palette we had dreamed about. Our photographer said it was the most beautiful arch she had ever seen at a wedding in Ireland."
"We had a winter wedding and I was worried seasonal flowers would feel limited. Balenqui proved me completely wrong. The arrangements featured the most gorgeous hellebores, anemones, and winter berries along with beautiful evergreen foliage. The centrepieces with candles made the ballroom feel like a winter garden. Every guest commented on how special the flowers were."
"What set Balenqui apart was the personal touch. Visiting the farm and actually picking flowers with Siobhán felt like part of the wedding experience itself. My bouquet included sweet peas that I had watched growing three months earlier. There is something incredibly special about carrying flowers you have a personal connection with on your wedding day."
"We eloped to the Burren with just 12 guests and Balenqui made the flowers feel as thoughtful and intentional as if it were a 200-person wedding. My bridal posy was the most beautiful thing I have ever held. Small and perfectly formed with ranunculus and trailing jasmine. They also made the tiniest corsages for our mothers that were absolutely exquisite."
Every season in Ireland brings its own unique beauty to a wedding. Here is a glimpse of what our fields and gardens offer throughout the year to help you choose the perfect time for your celebration.
March – May
Tulips, narcissi, ranunculus, anemones, hyacinths, cherry blossom, and the first sweet peas. Soft pastels dominate, with fresh greens and delicate textures that feel optimistic and tender.
June – August
Peak season brings garden roses, peonies, sweet peas, delphinium, foxgloves, scabiosa, larkspur, and lavender. The widest palette of the year, perfect for lush, romantic, and colourful celebrations.
September – November
Dahlias reign supreme alongside chrysanthemums, cosmos, zinnias, sedum, and seasonal berries. Warm tones of burgundy, burnt orange, copper, and plum create rich, atmospheric arrangements.
December – February
Hellebores, anemones, amaryllis, and paperwhites paired with evergreen foliage, pine, ivy, and winter berries. Elegant and intimate, winter weddings have a quiet magic that these blooms amplify beautifully.
We would love to hear about your wedding plans. Book a complimentary consultation at our farm, or send us a message with your date, venue, and any early inspiration. Every love story deserves flowers that match.
