The ceremony backdrop is where your love story takes center stage. At CHIC Flowers, we design and build custom ceremony structures that frame the most meaningful moment of your wedding day. What sets us apart from other florists in San Diego and Southern California is that we own our ceremony structures in-house. This means we control every detail of the design, from the frame material and dimensions to the floral composition, without relying on third-party rental companies. The result is a fully customized, one-of-a-kind ceremony installation that is designed specifically for your venue, your aesthetic, and your story.
Our collection of ceremony structures spans a wide range of styles and materials. Classic rectangular arches in powder-coated steel or natural wood create a clean, architectural frame for lush floral treatments. Circular arches, also known as moon gates, offer a modern, sculptural silhouette that photographs beautifully and works equally well for beachfront ceremonies in Coronado and garden settings in Rancho Santa Fe. For asymmetric designs, our team fabricates custom steel frames with organic, flowing shapes that become living sculptures when dressed with cascading blooms and trailing greenery.
We have deep expertise in designing culturally meaningful ceremony structures. Our chuppahs honor Jewish wedding tradition with elegant canopy designs that can be adorned with sheer fabric, floral garlands, and lush corner arrangements. For Hindu weddings, we create mandaps with ornate structural elements, rich color palettes, and abundant floral dressing that reflects the significance of the ceremony. We also design custom structures for interfaith ceremonies, blending design elements that honor multiple traditions in a harmonious, unified presentation.
Every structure begins with a detailed design consultation where we discuss dimensions, materials, and the overall floral vision. Our in-house fabrication team builds steel, wood, and acrylic frames in our San Diego workshop, ensuring precise fit and finish. On the wedding day, our installation crew arrives hours early to assemble, secure, and dress the structure with fresh florals. Popular floral treatments include dense asymmetric clusters of garden roses and dahlias, romantic draping with smilax and Italian ruscus, and full floral coverage for maximum impact. After the ceremony, many couples choose to repurpose their arch florals as a sweetheart table backdrop or photo booth installation at the reception.

Cultural ceremony structures carry profound significance, and their floral design must honor tradition while expressing the couple's personal aesthetic. At CHIC Flowers, we bring deep respect and creative expertise to designing chuppahs, mandaps, and ceremony installations for Jewish, Indian, interfaith, and multicultural weddings throughout San Diego and Southern California. Because we own and fabricate our ceremony structures in-house, we have complete control over dimensions, materials, and floral treatments, ensuring that every cultural ceremony element is designed with both spiritual meaning and visual beauty at its center.

At CHIC Flowers, large-scale installations are our specialty and our passion. Led by Alona Chasin, our design team conceptualizes, engineers, and executes custom floral installations that push the boundaries of traditional wedding floristry. What makes our installations truly unique is that we design and build our own structural elements in-house, including steel frames, glass vessels, wood armatures, and suspended rigging systems. This gives us complete creative control and allows us to create pieces that are engineered specifically for each venue's architecture.
