Waterfront Ceremony Flowers

Salem Waterfront Hotel currently offers an outdoor ceremony location overlooking Salem Harbor as well as indoor ceremony options.

Depending on the couple’s plans and current hotel policies, Ward’s can provide:

• Ground-level floral arrangements
• Pedestal arrangements
• Ceremony-table flowers
• Welcome-sign flowers
• Reserved-family flowers
• Memorial-table arrangements

Couples should confirm all floral placement and décor requirements directly with the hotel before finalizing ceremony plans.

Ceremony Green Flowers

The hotel currently offers its Ceremony Green on Pickering Wharf as an outdoor ceremony option overlooking Salem Harbor.

Because the waterfront already provides a strong visual backdrop, ceremony flowers can be designed to complement the setting without overwhelming it.

Ground-level flowers, pedestal arrangements and personal wedding flowers can add color while keeping the harbor view central to the ceremony.

Maritime Ballroom Reception Flowers

The Maritime Ballroom is the hotel’s primary large reception space. Current wedding information lists dinner and dancing for up to 220 guests.

Floral pieces may include:

• Guest-table centerpieces
• Welcome-table flowers
• Escort-card or seating-chart flowers
• Guest-book table arrangements
• Gift-table flowers
• Memorial-table arrangements
• Presentation bouquets
• Small cocktail-area floral accents

Custom & Supplemental Reception Centerpieces

If you need flowers beyond anything coordinated through the hotel, Ward’s can create custom tabletop designs to complement your wedding colors and style.

Options may include:

• Low garden-style centerpieces
• Classic round arrangements
• Hydrangea-based centerpieces
• Rose and mixed-flower arrangements
• Loose seasonal designs
• Greenery-forward arrangements
• Small accent arrangements

Low-profile centerpieces are especially practical for seated dinners because they allow guests to see and speak with one another comfortably.

Rehearsal Dinner Flowers

Salem Waterfront Hotel currently promotes rehearsal dinners as part of the wedding-weekend experience.

Ward’s can provide:

• Dining-table centerpieces
• A special arrangement for the couple
• Flowers for parents
• Welcome-table arrangements
• Presentation bouquets
• Small tabletop accents

Rehearsal-dinner flowers can coordinate with the wedding palette or use a completely different color scheme for the evening before the wedding.

The hotel also hosts engagement parties in spaces such as the Compass Room, Maritime Ballroom and Mainstay Social.

Ward’s can provide:

• A bouquet for the newly engaged couple
• Dining-table centerpieces

Bridal Shower Flowers

Bridal showers are another wedding-related event specifically promoted by Salem Waterfront Hotel.

Ward’s can create:

• Presentation bouquets

Popular shower palettes include blush and white, blue and white, lavender, soft pastels, bright garden colors and classic white and green.

Wedding Brunch & Farewell Flowers

Couples may continue their celebration with a post-wedding brunch at the hotel.

A wedding brunch usually requires less floral décor than the main reception. Small coordinated table arrangements can carry the wedding colors into the final event of the weekend.

Out-of-Town Welcome Reception Flowers

The hotel also hosts receptions welcoming out-of-town wedding guests to Salem.

Ward’s can provide a few coordinated arrangements for welcome tables, cocktail areas or dining spaces to help establish the wedding palette at the beginning of the weekend.

Flowers for the Compass Room

The Compass Room is used for smaller gatherings, including meetings and wedding-related events.

For a more intimate event, floral needs may be as simple as:

• One special arrangement for the honoree
• Low dining-table flowers
• A welcome arrangement
• A presentation bouquet
• Several small coordinated centerpieces

Corporate Meeting & Event Flowers

Salem Waterfront Hotel also hosts business meetings, conferences, company outings and corporate dinners.

Flowers may be appropriate for:

• Company dinners
• Employee-recognition events
• Retirement celebrations
• Award programs
• Client appreciation
• Guest-speaker programs
• Business milestone celebrations
• Company outings

Ward’s can provide table arrangements, welcome flowers and presentation bouquets for confirmed professional events.

Maritime Ballroom Corporate Event Flowers

The Maritime Ballroom can also accommodate larger professional functions. For corporate events using multiple tables, Ward’s can coordinate low-profile floral designs throughout the room.

For larger quantities, advance ordering is recommended so flower availability, colors, arrangement size and delivery timing can be coordinated.

Retirement & Recognition Flowers

A professional luncheon or dinner at the hotel can provide a fitting setting for retirement or employee recognition.

Ward’s can provide:

• A presentation bouquet
• A vase arrangement for the retiree
• Dining-table centerpieces

Couples with a guest-room block may also wish to send flowers to parents, members of the wedding party or another special guest staying at the hotel.

Individual bouquets or compact arrangements can be delivered when current hotel policies permit. Provide the recipient’s full name and wedding information so the hotel can identify the correct guest.

Bereavement & Memorial Gathering Flowers

When a family is holding an approved memorial luncheon, bereavement gathering or celebration of life at the hotel, Ward’s can provide appropriate reception flowers.

Options may include:

• Low dining-table arrangements
• Welcome-table flowers
• Photo-display arrangements
• Memorial-table flowers
• White-and-green floral designs

Traditional funeral-service pieces such as standing sprays, wreaths, hearts, crosses and casket flowers are generally delivered directly to the funeral home, church or formal service location. Reception flowers can be delivered separately to the hotel.

Ward’s Florist generally offers same-day flower delivery in Salem on qualifying individual orders placed by 2:00 p.m.
