Gardiner House is classic Newport—coastal, polished, and perfectly suited for a wedding that feels elevated without feeling fussy.
Therefore, your floral plan should be intentional from the start: what goes where, how it photographs, and how it transitions from ceremony to reception.

What “full-service” florals mean at Gardiner House

Full-service is not just flowers. It’s planning, production, installation, and a calm team on-site.
With Plant Girl Floral, full-service florist support typically includes:

• Design planning and proposal building
• Custom sourcing and recipe planning
• Studio production and prep
• On-site delivery and installation
• Repurposing strategy (when it truly works)
• Strike and clean up

Traditional Newport weddings move quickly. A steady, experienced install team keeps everything graceful behind the scenes.

Common repurpose options include:

• Ceremony pieces → sweetheart table
• Aisle pieces → bar + lounge moments
• Statement arrangements → fireplace or entry

Florals that photograph best in Newport light
