The honest answer depends entirely on what you're booking. Premade pieces already in our inventory can go out the door with as little as a day's notice. A custom color match needs real lead time. Here's the real breakdown so you're not guessing.
The short version
| What You Want | How Far Ahead |
|---|---|
| Premade piece, standard colors, date is open | As little as 1 day |
| Custom color match | About 2 months |
| Peak wedding season (Apr–Jun, Sep–Nov) | 2–3 months, book early |
Why premade can move so fast
If a piece is already built and sitting in our inventory in a standard palette, there's nothing to source or hand-build — we just deliver, set up, and break down on your date. That's why premade arches, flower walls, and centerpieces can sometimes be booked with just a day's notice if the date is open.
Why custom colors need real lead time
A custom palette means hand-building the piece to match your exact colors, which takes sourcing and assembly time our team needs scheduled in advance. Plan on about two months for anything outside our current standard inventory colors.
Quick answer: Premade, standard colors: as little as 1 day out. Custom colors: about 2 months. Peak season: book 2-3 months ahead regardless.
Peak season changes the math
April through June and September through November are our busiest months for San Antonio weddings. Even a standard premade piece can sell out on a popular date during peak season, so booking 2-3 months ahead is the safer call if your date falls in that window — regardless of whether you need a custom color.
What to do if your wedding is close
Don't assume it's too late — call us directly. We can tell you in minutes what's available in our current inventory for your date, even if it's just weeks out. The two-month rule is really about custom builds, not a hard cutoff for booking at all.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book wedding decorations?
Premade pieces in standard colors can sometimes be booked as little as one day before your date. Custom color matches need about two months. Peak season (April-June, September-November) is safest booked 2-3 months out.
Can I book decor last minute?
Often yes, if you're using premade pieces already in our inventory and your date is open. Call us directly to check current availability rather than assuming it's too late.
Why does a custom color take longer to book?
A custom palette requires our team to hand-build the piece to match your exact colors, which takes real sourcing and assembly time — about two months, versus a premade piece that's ready to go.
Is peak wedding season different for booking?
Yes — April through June and September through November are our busiest months. Even premade pieces can sell out on popular dates, so booking 2-3 months ahead is safer during peak season.
