10 Common Myths About Wedding Florists—Debunked!

When planning your wedding, you’ll hear plenty of advice about flowers—but not all of it is true. As a professional wedding florist in France, I’ve heard it all! Here are 10 false statements about wedding florists that might surprise you:

1. "Wedding florists just put flowers in vases."
   ✨ False! We’re designers, logistics coordinators, and installation experts, creating art with flowers.

2. "I can save money by ordering flowers myself."
   🚫 Not true. Florists have access to wholesale markets, know how to source the best blooms, and can prevent costly mistakes.

3. "Flowers will look the same no matter who arranges them."
   🎨 Every florist has a unique style. Choosing a florist is like choosing an artist—our creativity makes your wedding floral design special.

4. "Florists only work on the wedding day."
   ⏱ We spend weeks planning, sourcing, conditioning, and designing long before your big day arrives.

5. "All flowers are available year-round."
   🌷 Nope! Flowers are seasonal. Your florist will guide you on what’s fresh and in season for your wedding date.

6. "DIY wedding flowers are easy."
   😰 Designing florals takes time, skill, and knowledge about bloom care. It’s more complex than it looks!

7. "A Pinterest photo can be perfectly replicated."
   📸 Inspiration is great, but flowers vary based on season, lighting, and location. We create designs inspired by your vision, not exact copies.

8. "Artificial flowers are cheaper."
   💸 High-quality faux flowers can be just as expensive—sometimes more—than fresh ones.

9. "Adding more flowers will automatically look better."
   🌿 Balance is key. A skilled florist knows how to create impactful designs without overcrowding.

10. "Florists don’t need to visit the venue."
    🏰 Venue visits help us plan installations, understand logistics, and create a seamless setup.
