Because wedding floral and decor is completely customizable, with almost endless options and numerous factors determining the costs, Disney can’t possibly list every single option. However, they have a Wedding Look Book with pricing on some of their most popular offerings.
Disney now contracts wedding floral and décor services through outside vendor Florida Fresh Floral. You will work with one of their representatives (who may have a Disney email address) to select the items you want and draft a Floral BEO. Anything booked via Florida Fresh Floral counts toward your Event Minimum.
Because there is no comprehensive catalog of options, couples usually provide their Florida Fresh Floral contact with photos of the overall or specific look they want, and he or she comes back with available options and pricing. Floral prices depend on the type of flowers and the time of year.
Using an outside floral and decor vendor will often save 50% or more on Florida Fresh Floral’s prices or provide much more bang for you buck.
- You may use an outside florist for personal floral (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages—anything you wear or carry) no matter where your wedding and reception are held.
- You may use an outside vendor for reception floral and decor (centerpieces, chairs, linens, dance floors, etc.) only in Disney’s ballrooms.
One strategy for containing costs is to provide Florida Fresh Floral with an overall idea of colors or flowers but set a budget for each item. For example, you can ask for a $250 bridal bouquet, $100 bridesmaids’ bouquets and $250 worth of aisle petals in, say, a mix of pinks and oranges or inspired by a particular photo. It helps if the type of flower is less important than the color, but you can always tell them if there are specific flowers you want or you want to avoid.
Another way to save is to reuse floral arrangements—either in the same or different containers—at all your events. For example, you could have centerpieces from your welcome dinner used as aisle decor at the Wedding Pavilion and again as centerpieces at your reception, as long as there is enough time between your ceremony and reception to move them. Florida Fresh Floral charges a nominal move fee that is usually far less than the cost of new floral arrangements.
You can also save on aisle petals by requesting $X worth of petals rather than taking the standard price Florids Fresh Floral puts in your BEO. Note that darker colors must be silk petals rather than real to avoid staining.
Here are photos of petal coverage on the aisle at the Wedding Pavilion at various price points:
Light Coverage – $350
Moderate Coverage – $550
Heavy Coverage – $750
This image created by Flyboy Naturals shows you what various amounts of petals look like in one square foot. For reference, the aisle at the Wedding Pavilion is 7.5 feet wide by 54 feet from the door to the bottom step of the altar.

Specialty Seating Options
This look book is VERY outdated (prices have more than doubled in some cases), but since Disney’s floral and décor vendor won’t provide any kind of catalog of available seating options, you might find it helpful for inspiration: Old Settee & Specialty Seating Options

Florida Fresh Floral also provides specialty tables, chairs, linens and décor, plus flatware and chargers. You can see examples of some of these in their Wedding Look Book and on the website of their sister company, L+B Event Decor.
