Wedding Flower Tips Every Wedding Couple Should Know
Whether you have a vision for your wedding or an open-mind at this stage having a look online (places like Pinterest etc) will help you and your partner get clear on what you do and do not like.
We’re not saying you need to be a flower expert but a little advanced research before you work with a florist is a big help to springboard into ideas.
This can be as basic as what colours you’re thinking, textures etc.

We love introducing our clients to new flowers and varieties they may not have heard of or considered before.
Our creators scour every conceivable resource to conjure up the sort of alchemy the creates one-of-a-kind meaningful celebrations every time.
It can be tempting to just Google a local florist and choose one that looks pretty good.
But the next one of our wedding flower tips is to dig a little deeper than that.
After all, your wedding is a once in a lifetime occasion!
As well as checking out a florist’s social media sites, blog, previous projects, clients, press, sustainability commitments and independent reviews consider:
*”Are they design-driven?” or do they just start bundling flowers together and see where it takes them?.
“How involved and considerate are they of other key elements such as lighting”? These things may sound trivial to some, put things such as lighting have a major effect on how your wedding flowers will look in an evening.
This allows you to see if their experience and skills are a good fit for the services you need.

Beyond the design and the florals, the team putting it all together is equally as important!
Though the chances of something going wrong on your special day can, and should be, minimised, it’s impossible to rule it out altogether.
In this case, the make or break of the perfect wedding comes down to your team putting it all together and how equipped or creative they can be in finding solutions that work.
It’s always nice to have faith and know that your team is ready for anything.
The more questions you ask, the more likely you are to find a florist you can have a positive relationship with so this is one of our top wedding flower tips.
Don’t be shy about querying things such as what services are included and whether the services are sustainable.

We love couples who ask us plenty of questions.
It helps us to get off on the right foot from the start.
This is one of the wedding flower tips that are most vital to ensuring your floral designs are everything you’ve been dreaming of.
Right from the start, you need to be open with your florist so we can get to know and do your love story justice.
This includes:
– Any specific meaningful elements you want to include such as a nod to your cultures, how you met, and what matters to you. – Wedding information such as the date of the celebrations, the venue, and the number of guests etc – Your suppliers (or if you are looking for something in particular we can connect you with our network of talented professionals) –

We often find the best results are when the couple feel like they are a part of the process – we ensure it’s enjoyable and never overbearing but it always feels amazing when you see finished results knowing you had your say in how it turned out.
Your wedding day is obviously about you and your partner.
But, you want your guests to enjoy the occasion too.
And the next one of our wedding flower tips is about them.
When you’re planning flowers for your big day, you’ll want your table landscapes to look beautiful.

But, be careful that your floral decor doesn’t get in the way.
Make sure that your centrepieces are not too tall so that your guests can talk to each other and socialise.
They’ll have a far better time doing this than struggling to communicate with other people at the table because a huge floral display is blocking the view.
This is one of our favourite wedding flower tips because sometimes something you have your heart set on may not be possible because of the venue etc, but we’ll always do our best to make it work by providing you with the best (possibly better) alternative.
We always aim to include clients’ flower choices in our designs, but we appreciate flexibility if this isn’t possible.

As an example, sometimes a bloom you want may be out of season and out of budget, however our extensive flower knowledge and resources means we can open you up to a whole host of stunning possibilities.
When you look at the glorious beauty of wedding flowers, it’s easy to forget the practicalities of making sure they’re perfect.
That’s why the last of our wedding flower tips involves logistics.
This is all about making sure that your floral landscape looks pristine and is erected and removed on time

Strict attention to detail and a lot of essential tasks are required to make sure all of this happens.
This is part of our design process that we’re extremely proud of.
We’re with you every step of the way, and we ensure that floristry logistics are taken care of so you can be sure of a breathtaking display on your wedding day.
