Wedding Florist at The Upchurch in Cary, NC
The Upchurch is one of those venues that immediately sets the tone for a wedding day. Located just outside of downtown Raleigh, it blends historic charm with a quiet, tucked-away feeling that makes celebrations feel intimate and intentional. Wild Flora has had the opportunity to design florals for multiple weddings at The Upchurch, and each time, the space invites something a little different.
From airy garden ceremonies to warm, candlelit receptions, The Upchurch offers a flexible backdrop that allows floral design to really shine without overwhelming the space.
Designing Florals for Weddings at The Upchurch
One of the things we love most about designing flowers at The Upchurch is how the architecture and natural surroundings guide the floral choices. The venue doesn’t require over-designing. Instead, thoughtful placement and intentional arrangements tend to have the biggest impact.
Ceremony designs often focus on creating movement and softness, whether that’s through grounded floral installations, airy meadow-style arrangements, or sculptural pieces that frame the couple without distracting from the setting. Inside, the reception space welcomes florals that feel lush but balanced, allowing guests to feel immersed without losing sightlines or flow.
Because we’re familiar with how weddings unfold at The Upchurch, floral decisions are always made with the full day in mind. What guests see during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception feels cohesive, not repetitive.
Seasonal Floral Design at The Upchurch
Seasonality plays a big role in how floral designs come together at The Upchurch. Spring weddings often lean into soft color palettes, delicate textures, and an overall sense of lightness that pairs beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Summer designs tend to feel fuller and more abundant, with flowers that can stand up to warmer temperatures while still feeling natural and organic.
As the seasons shift, so does the mood of the space. Fall weddings at The Upchurch often invite richer tones and layered textures that feel grounded and warm, especially as the light changes throughout the day. Designing with the season in mind helps each wedding feel connected to its moment in time, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
