At Flowers by Anya, we design wedding florals for couples who want more than just flowers — they want artistry, emotion, and a seamless, luxury experience. One of the most common misunderstandings we see is the idea that wedding flowers are just “nicer” versions of supermarket blooms.
The truth? They’re not even in the same category.
Here’s why wedding flowers are in a league of their own, and why working with an experienced luxury florist makes all the difference.
1. Craft vs Commodity
Supermarket flowers are mass-produced for price and shelf life. They’re selected for durability, not beauty. Wrapped in plastic, they’re designed to be sold quickly — not remembered forever.
Wedding flowers, on the other hand, are crafted. Every stem is chosen for its texture, movement, colour tone, and seasonal beauty. At Flowers by Anya, we work only with the freshest, most exquisite blooms — from velvety garden roses to wild, romantic sweet peas — to design floral pieces that feel unique, refined, and truly memorable.
2. One-Size-Fits-All vs Bespoke Design
Supermarket bouquets are generic and one-dimensional — pre-packaged with no thought for the occasion or emotion behind them.
Wedding florals are entirely bespoke. At Flowers by Anya, our process begins with understanding your story, your style, and your space. Every bouquet, tablescape, or floral arch is designed with your wedding aesthetic in mind — whether you’re planning an intimate country manor ceremony or a grand editorial-style celebration.
3. Scale and Expertise
Designing wedding florals isn’t just about arranging pretty flowers — it’s a logistical and creative ballet.
Behind the scenes: early market runs, floral conditioning, scheduling with venues and planners, building large-scale installations, and ensuring every bloom is flawless when it matters most. From stairway garlands to suspended floral clouds, nothing is off-limits — but it takes experience and precision to pull off.
With years in the industry and a deep love of detail, we make it look effortless — even though it’s anything but.
4. A Luxury Experience From Start to Finish
Discerning couples don’t just want flowers — they want a luxury service that matches their expectations for quality and care.
That’s why we offer:
- Initial consultations and venue visits
- Tailored floral concepts and moodboards
- Sample arrangements
- On-site styling and day-of execution
This is a full-service experience, built on trust, creativity, and genuine connection.
5. Part of Your Legacy
Wedding flowers aren’t temporary — they live on in your memories, your photos, and your story.
They’re the first thing you see as you walk into your ceremony. They’re in the bouquet you hold as you say “I do.” They’re behind you in your first dance. These aren’t “just flowers.” They’re part of the emotion and atmosphere of your day — and should be treated as such.
In Summary: There Is No Comparison
Supermarket flowers are just that — everyday, off-the-shelf, and transactional.
Wedding flowers, when done right, are transformational.
They require artistry, expertise, and a level of care that only comes from a specialist in luxury floral design. At Flowers by Anya, we create timeless, elegant floral experiences for couples who appreciate the difference — because they know their wedding deserves nothing less.
