Breezy, elegant wedding florals for seaside celebrations in Rehoboth Beach.
Rehoboth Beach has long been called the nation's summer capital, and its charm is easy to understand. This is a refined coastal town where the ocean, the boardwalk, and the gardens just inland set the stage for weddings that feel light, warm, and quietly luxurious.
As a luxury wedding florist in Rehoboth Beach, Melissa-May Designs brings bespoke floral design and full-service styling to both beach and garden celebrations along the Delaware coast. Melissa-May Tarlton has led the studio since 2010, serving couples across Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
Romantic at heart, calm in the details. Seaside weddings ask for florals that move with the breeze and hold up to the light, and the studio designs each one to feel effortless while taking only a limited number of events per weekend.
Beach and garden weddings in Rehoboth
Rehoboth pairs the open horizon of the Delaware Beaches with the softer greenery of the town just behind the dunes. Some couples marry with sand underfoot and salt in the air, others in a garden or coastal estate a few blocks from the water, and each calls for a slightly different hand.
Melissa-May Designs designs for both. Oceanfront ceremonies favor airy, sun-resilient palettes and forms that read against sky and water, while garden settings invite lusher, more layered arrangements. The studio matches the florals to the light, the wind, and the season so the day feels seamlessly coastal.
Full-service coastal floral design
The studio offers bespoke bridal bouquets and centerpieces, large-scale floral installations, and full-service wedding and event design and styling, finished with artistic detailing like hand calligraphy, engraving, heat foiling, and painting. It is floral and design work only, elevated and complete, with planners referred when full planning is needed.
For a Rehoboth wedding, that might mean a bouquet built to catch the sea breeze, an arch that frames the horizon, or a reception layered with candlelight and calligraphed details as the evening cools. Elevated over ordinary, connection over perfection, moments made to last.
