Behind The Scenes
Want to know what a wedding with Hilary's Floral Design looks like? then let us enlighten you.
Ever Wondered What Goes on Behind the Floral Scenes?
We’re often asked by our couples what the typical process looks like in the lead up to and on their wedding day. And while every wedding we work on is completely unique in terms of style, location, and floral requirements, our approach to creating your wedding flowers follows a well-honed process. Here’s a little sneak peek behind the scenes at Hilary’s Floral Design.
Let’s Talk Flowers
In the months (and sometimes years!) leading up to your big day, we work closely with you to build a detailed wedding file. This includes all key floral areas, your chosen colour palette, design preferences, must-have flowers, and any bespoke installations or styling details for the day.
About a month before your wedding, we’ll have our final consultation—by now, with a very excited couple! This is when we confirm all details and finalise everything. Then comes the fun part: we place your flower order with our trusted suppliers at the market, ensuring we secure the highest quality blooms, hand-picked to suit your style and theme.
Flower Delivery Day
We absolutely love this part! As the flowers arrive at our studio, each and every stem is carefully cut, conditioned, and prepped. Leaves are trimmed, stems are de-thorned, and flowers are fed, watered, and nurtured so they look their absolute best for your big day.
Our hard working team then begins creating your floral arrangements, usually the day before the wedding, crafting every bouquet, centrepiece, and installation with precision and love.
The Big Day Is Here!
Wedding day starts bright and early for us! We arrive on-site to begin installing your wedding flowers. Larger pieces, like floral arches and installations—are often finished in situ, while centrepieces, table flowers, and finishing touches are carefully placed and thoroughly inspected before we leave.
Then comes one of our favourite moments, hand-delivering the bridal bouquet. Sharing in your excitement and anticipation is something we’ll never tire of!
And don’t be surprised if you see us again later, we’re often quietly moving ceremony flowers over to the reception space, seamlessly reusing your blooms so you can get the most from them throughout the day.
Here for You Every Step of the Way
Our friendly, experienced team is here to make your wedding flower journey an enjoyable and exciting part of your planning. Whether you have a clear vision or need some creative guidance, we’re here to help—every step of the way.
We truly LOVE what we do, and it means the world to us to be part of your special day. We’re also incredibly proud to have been recognised with Best Wedding Florist at The Welsh National Wedding Awards—an honour we’ve received for nine years running.
