Insights from a Luxury Wedding Florist
When you’re newly engaged, the excitement of planning your dream wedding can be both thrilling and overwhelming. With so many details to manage, it’s easy to overlook certain elements that can dramatically influence the look and feel of your day—especially when it comes to florals.
As a luxury wedding florist, I’ve worked with countless couples to create floral designs that are not only beautiful but truly unforgettable. Time and time again, I find myself wishing couples knew these three important things before diving into wedding planning.
- Your Venue Will Define the Flower Story
Your venue isn’t just a setting—it’s the foundation for your floral vision. The architectural style, lighting, ceiling height, and overall layout will determine what kinds of installations will elevate the space best.
Booking a glamorous ballroom? Think grand statement pieces like floral chandeliers or lush aisle runners. Saying “I do” at a garden estate? We might focus on organic, textural arrangements that complement the natural surroundings.
Luxury tip: Book your venue first, then collaborate with your floral designer early to ensure your florals enhance, rather than clash with, the space.
- Pinterest is Inspiration, Not a Blueprint
Pinterest is wonderful for dreaming—but remember, many of those images are from editorial shoots with unlimited budgets, rare blooms, and often no real-world constraints.
Rather than copying a photo exactly, let it serve as a starting point. I love when couples bring visuals, but even more, I love taking those ideas and translating them into a one-of-a-kind design that fits your venue, season, and budget.
Design insight: We’ll focus on the emotion behind your inspiration—romantic, modern, timeless—and create something fresh and personal.
- Florals Set the Tone for Your Entire Wedding Aesthetic
Think of flowers as more than “decor”—they’re a storytelling tool that brings your wedding vision to life. From colour palette to texture to structure, florals shape the entire vibe of your celebration.
When we’re involved early in the planning process, we can design cohesive floral elements that tie together every visual aspect of your wedding—from the ceremony to cocktail hour to reception.
Creative tip: Share your mood board, colour ideas, and wardrobe styling with us early—we’ll use that to build a floral design that feels elevated, intentional, and uniquely you.
Final Thoughts
Your wedding flowers are more than pretty petals—they’re an essential part of your story. When you trust your florist early on, you allow space for collaboration, creativity, and the kind of luxurious detail that sets your day apart.
So before you get lost in your Pinterest board or start ordering linens, remember:
Choose your venue wisely
Use inspiration as a guide, not a rule
And involve your florist early—we’re here to elevate the vision, not just follow it.
