The Flowers Are Just the Beginning | A Summer Wedding at Monthill Golf + Country Club

There’s a different kind of conversation happening in Sue Gallo Designs discovery calls lately. It sounds less like, “How much are centrepieces?” and more like:

“We’ve been following Sue Gallo Designs for months.”

“Our planner told us we had to call you.”

“We love the way Sue Gallo Designs tell the story of a wedding.”

And our favourite: “We already know we want you to create our florals.”

Nicole and Brandon’s summer wedding at Monthill Golf & Country Club is a beautiful example of why that conversation matters.

Because choosing your wedding florist shouldn’t simply be about finding someone who can recreate a collection of saved Pinterest images or gives you the lowest quote. It’s about finding the designer you trust to take everything you love and turn it into a wedding that feels distinctly yours.

Your Wedding Flowers Are Only the Beginning

When couples first reach out to Sue Gallo Designs, they often think they’re hiring a florist. And yes, there will be flowers. Beautiful ones. But what they’re really choosing is a design partner who sees the entire room.

For Nicole and Brandon, that meant considering how the ceremony would feel as guests arrived, how the florals would relate to Monthill’s architecture, how each table would contribute to the reception, and how everything would transition throughout the day.

Flowers, candles, linens, tabletop details, stationery, placement, scale and proportion, individually, they’re details. Together, they create atmosphere. That distinction is important.

Start With the Feeling, Not the Flower List

One of the biggest pressures couples experience when planning wedding flowers is believing they need to have everything figured out before contacting Sue Gallo Designs. You don’t.

You don’t need to know the difference between garden roses and standard roses. You don’t need your exact centrepiece count. And you certainly don’t need to arrive at your consultation with a shopping list.

Instead, tell us what you want your wedding to feel like. Tell us what you’ve been saving. What you keep coming back to. What you absolutely don’t want. Tell us where you want your guests to pause and take it all in. That gives us far more to work with than simply asking, “What does a centrepiece cost?”

What Makes a Sue Gallo Designs Wedding Different?

After more than twenty years designing and producing weddings, our role at Sue Gallo Designs goes well beyond selecting beautiful flowers.

We understand scale. We know what photographs beautifully and what can disappear in a large room. We know where an investment will have the greatest visual impact and where you may not need to spend at all. We think about what can be repurposed, how much time installation actually requires, how your venue operates and what needs to happen behind the scenes before you ever walk into the room.

Most importantly, we make decisions with the whole wedding in mind. That’s the part our couples don’t necessarily see. And that’s exactly the point. What feels effortless to your guests is carefully considered behind the scenes.

A Monthill Wedding, Designed as One Story

Nicole and Brandon’s Monthill Golf & Country Club wedding flowers weren’t designed as separate bouquets, ceremony pieces and centrepieces.

They were designed as one story. From the first impression to the final tablescape, every element belonged to the same visual conversation. Creating a summer wedding that felt polished, romantic and entirely natural within the space.

So when you’re ready to reach out about your own wedding, perhaps the first question doesn’t need to be, “What are your prices?” Try something different.

“This is how we want our wedding to feel. How would you bring it to life?” Now that is a conversation we’d love to have.

Take a look through Nicole and Brandon’s gallery, beautifully captured by Kelsey of Cloud Nine Photography. A story told through flowers, thoughtful details and fleeting moments. Of love, meaning and a summer day that was unmistakably theirs.
