How the bride candy came to be

Christopher Plaza has been in the floral industry for over 10 years, and is nationally known for his whimsical, tropical, and romantic floral creations. With The Bride Candy, he travels nationally to do on-site floral installations ranging from natural and understated to grand and opulent. His studio offers services local to small weddings as well as elopements. And as part of the new normal, the studio also offers a preserved bouquet + boutonniere package that can be shipped anywhere. 

The Bride Candy is Chris’s Miami-based floral studio that he manages with his fiancé, Jeremy. The name comes from Chris’s philosophy on working with brides. “I LOVE my brides. It’s so important to me to get their vision exactly right and work with them to make sure we can create something beautiful together that feels perfect for them. It’s not enough to just do the design and the flowers. I connect with my brides on a personal level and stay friends with them long after their special day.” And that level of partnership and trust with his brides leads to gorgeous works – he’s been featured in Wedding Chicks, Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Popsugar, Business Insider, and many more publications. “I help celebrate love with flowers because I believe that’s why we are here in this world.”

With the highest quality craftsmanship, Chris and his team produce incredibly beautiful and meaningful floral creations. Chris sources flowers from all over the world to find the perfect unique combination to bring wedding dreams to life. “There’s a little bride in all of us! I live for that moment when my brides (or grooms!) finally see my creations on their special day. It’s filled with emotion, and I love being there to share it with you.”
