The Wild and Wonderful Journey of Wedding Flowers
Ever wondered how a wedding transforms from a Pinterest board into a breathtaking floral wonderland? Well, buckle up—because the road to dreamy wedding flowers is a wild ride involving spreadsheets, secateurs, and a lot of midnight petal-fueled panic.
Step One: The Dream Stage
It all begins with the initial consultation, where we chat all things flowers. Expect a deep dive into your vision, mood boards, and Pinterest obsessions. We’ll swoon over peonies (this is when I remind you that you’re getting married in September and peonies are only good in May!) we’ll debate the timeless elegance of white roses, and gently remind you that blue orchids don’t grow in nature. We’ll also talk budgets—because, sadly, even floral magic has a price tag.
Step Two: The Master Plan
Once we’ve pinned down your dream aesthetic, I’ll craft a bespoke floral design and detailed quote. This is where the logistics kick in—venue visits, supplier coordination, and the occasional mild existential crisis when we realise your dream installation requires a cherry picker.
Step Three: The Countdown Begins
As your wedding day approaches, the behind-the-scenes magic intensifies. Orders are placed for sundries, vases, ribbons, and, of course, hundreds (sometimes thousands!) of stems. When the flowers arrive, we unpack, hydrate, and whisper sweet nothings to them—because a happy flower is a beautiful flower.
Step Four: The 3 AM Flower Frenzy
Ah, the week of the wedding—where florists trade sleep for caffeine and turn into floral ninjas. Every bouquet, centerpiece, and floral arch is crafted with precision, love, and occasional tears. Some installations happen on-site, meaning we may be found teetering on ladders at dawn, covered in foliage, questioning our life choices—but loving every second of it.
Step Five: The Big Reveal
Then comes the best part—delivering the flowers and seeing everything come to life. There’s nothing quite like handing a bride her bouquet or watching guests gasp at a breathtaking floral installation. In that moment, every sleepless night and thorn-induced injury is 100% worth it.
Because for us florists, it’s not just a job—it’s pure joy. So, if you ever spot a florist at a wedding looking slightly delirious yet deeply satisfied, now you know why. We wouldn’t have it any other way!
