Inspiration can come from a magazine photo, a striking color palette, or a favorite flower. You might wrap your bouquet in your grandmother's wedding lace, celebrate at your childhood church, or ask college friends to hand-tie ribbons on the invitations. By blending cherished traditions with fresh ideas, your wedding can reflect your unique vision. Whether you plan for a year or bring everything together in a few weeks, we'll help manage every floral detail.

Begin planning your flowers after choosing the bridal gown and bridesmaid dresses, typically 6 to 12 months before the wedding. Because flowers complement the wedding party and venue, your attire and color palette will help guide the floral design.

If you live outside the area, we can begin with a phone consultation. In-store and phone consultations are free and available by appointment, allowing us to reserve dedicated time for you. We'll work with your schedule and be as flexible as possible. In-store consultations generally last 1 to 2 hours, while phone appointments take about 30 to 45 minutes. Because we discuss each item in detail, please set aside enough time to talk flowers.

Since 1985, Downeast Flowers & Gifts, Inc. has helped brides bring their wedding visions to life. With locations in downtown Kennebunk and downtown Sanford, our teams make the planning process easy and enjoyable.

We would be delighted to help make your special day memorable.
