Garden Walk Designer's Choice — Tall & Oversized Floral Arrangements

Village Flower Shoppe | Palo Alto, CA

The Garden Walk Designer's Choice is one of our most beloved signature arrangements, crafted by our expert floral designers using the freshest seasonal blooms available. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or simply want to brighten someone's day, this arrangement delivers a stunning garden-inspired aesthetic that feels both lush and effortlessly natural.

Available in multiple sizes — including our popular Tall/Oversized option — the Garden Walk Designer's Choice lets you choose the level of impact that fits your occasion and budget.

Choose Your Size

We offer the Garden Walk Designer's Choice in the following sizes:

• Standard — A beautifully full arrangement, perfect for tabletops and everyday gifting
• Deluxe — More blooms, more volume, a more impressive presentation
• Premium / Tall — Our oversized, statement-making version with additional height, extra stems, and premium flower selections

Each size upgrade reflects not just more flowers, but a more complex design, taller vessels, and often the inclusion of specialty or exotic blooms that are not available in smaller sizes.

What Additional Charges Apply for Oversized or Specialty Arrangements?

This is one of the most common questions we receive, and we believe in full transparency when it comes to pricing. Here's a clear breakdown of what factors contribute to additional charges for our oversized and specialty floral arrangements:

1. Size Upgrade Fees

Upgrading from a Standard to a Tall or Premium arrangement typically involves an additional charge that reflects:

• More stems — Oversized arrangements require significantly more flowers to achieve proper fullness and height
• Taller, larger vessels — Premium vases and containers cost more and are sized to support heavier, taller designs
• Extended design time — Our designers spend more time constructing larger arrangements to ensure structural integrity and visual balance

2. Specialty & Premium Flower Surcharges

Not all flowers are priced equally. Certain blooms carry a premium due to their rarity, seasonality, or import costs. When you select a specialty arrangement or request specific flowers, you may see additional charges for:

• Exotic blooms such as orchids, protea, garden roses, or peonies
• Out-of-season flowers that must be specially sourced
• Imported or rare varieties not commonly available at local wholesalers
• Specialty foliage and fillers that complement premium arrangements

Our designers will always work within your budget, but if you have a specific flower in mind, it's worth asking about availability and any associated surcharges upfront.

3. Custom Design & Labor Charges

The Garden Walk Designer's Choice is, by nature, a designer's choice arrangement — meaning our florists have creative freedom to craft something unique each time. For truly custom or specialty requests, additional labor charges may apply when:

• You request a specific color palette or theme that requires sourcing non-standard inventory
• The arrangement involves unique structural elements (e.g., cascading designs, tall centerpieces, floral sculptures)
• Same-day custom requests require expedited sourcing or design work

4. Delivery Surcharges for Oversized Arrangements

Larger arrangements require extra care during transport. Oversized or tall floral arrangements may incur a delivery surcharge due to:

• The need for specialized packaging or additional stabilization materials
• Restrictions on how many oversized arrangements can be transported per delivery run
• Extended delivery times for fragile, tall designs that require careful handling

Delivery is available throughout Palo Alto and surrounding areas. Please contact us directly if you have questions about delivery fees for a specific oversized order.
