ALTERNA FLORA is based in Lancaster, PA and works throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, Harrisburg, York, Lebanon, Reading, and surrounding areas.

Weddings, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, private celebrations, dinner parties, and other gatherings that deserve more than background flowers. If the space can be transformed with flowers, we’re interested.

Bold, sculptural, textural, and a little unexpected. Think strong color, unexpected combinations, movement, unconventional materials, and flowers that feel like part of the atmosphere rather than an accessory to it.

Depending on the project, full-service design can include personal flowers, ceremony florals, tablescapes, statement arrangements, installations, delivery, setup, on-site styling, and breakdown. Every proposal is built around the event rather than a preset package.

Absolutely. Bring us a color, a feeling, a venue, a piece of art, an outfit, or a half-formed idea. We’ll use it as a starting point and build something original around it.

You can always tell us what you love. Because flowers are seasonal and availability changes constantly, we design around the overall mood, color, texture, and form rather than promising every exact variety.

Yes. ALTERNA FLORA is queer-owned, inclusive, and open to everyone. We leave rigid traditions and gendered expectations at the door so the flowers can feel like you, not like someone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like.

As much as possible. We source seasonal and locally grown flowers when available and use foam-free, reusable, or lower-waste mechanics throughout the design process.

Earlier is always better, especially for peak wedding dates and larger installations. If you already have your date and venue, you have enough to start the conversation.
