Behind the Blooms

What You’re Really Paying For With Wedding Flowers

By Jen CF.

As a florist, weddings are just one part of what I do, but they’re certainly one of the most special. Alongside Karen, my righthand woman and fellow flower enthusiast, we’ve had the joy (and the challenge!) of bringing so many couples’ floral dreams to life. And one thing we’ve learned? There’s so much more to wedding flowers than meets the eye.

When couples first see their wedding flower quote, I completely understand the raised eyebrows. On the surface, it might seem like a lot to spend on something that lasts a day, but what you’re really paying for is the expertise, time, and care that goes into making everything perfect.

From our first consultation, Karen and I are already thinking about how to translate your ideas into floral designs that fit your venue, your style, and your budget. Every arrangement is bespoke, tailored specifically to you, there’s no off-the-shelf option when it comes to wedding flowers. Add in selecting and ordering flowers from our trusted suppliers, early morning market runs, flower prep, hours of arranging, travel, setup (sometimes in the pouring rain or blazing sun) it’s a huge amount of work that happens behind the scenes to make your day look effortless.

Being realistic with your budget is key. Pinterest-worthy displays can be stunning, but not always practical. We’re always honest about what’s possible and offer creative alternatives to make sure your flowers still have the wow factor without blowing the budget, however if you have the budget the world of flowers is your oyster.

And here’s something we can’t stress enough: choose a reliable, well-established florist. Your wedding isn’t the time to take chances. You need a team with experience, a calm head, and the ability to deliver under pressure. We take pride in being that team, turning up early, solving problems quietly, and making sure every bloom is in place before you walk down the aisle.

Our reviews and personal recommendations speak for themselves. We’ve built our business on trust, word of mouth, and a genuine love for what we do. Flowers aren’t just our job, they’re our passion, and we bring that same care whether we’re creating a bridal bouquet, a funeral tribute, birthday flower gift, or a weekly bunch for someone’s kitchen table.

At the end of the day, you’re not just paying for flowers. You’re investing in something that will be part of your photos, your memories, and your story. Wedding flowers are fleeting, yes, but the way they make you feel, the way they tie everything together, and the beauty they add to one of the most important days of your life, that’s what lasts..

So yes, wedding flowers are an investment. But with the right florist, they become one of the most meaningful and memorable parts of your day.
