Finding the best wedding florist in Asheville, NC
/Planning a wedding involves countless decisions, each adding to the unique tapestry of your special day. Of course we are biased, but one of the most impactful choices you'll make is selecting the perfect wedding florist to bring your floral vision to life. In Asheville, the vibrant local culture and stunning natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains is the perfect backdrop for a destination wedding.
Having a recommendation from a trusted wedding professional, such as a planner, can be a great way to find the perfect wedding florist for your special day. But there are a few things that you can do make sure that you find the best fit in a florist for your wedding:
Define Your Floral Style
Begin by identifying the style and aesthetic you want for your wedding. Do you dream of lush, artful floral designs inspired by nature? If so, you might be drawn to florists who specialize in creating one-of-a-kind, bespoke arrangements using seasonal flowers. We pride ourselves on crafting unique, beautiful designs with flowers that we primarily grow on here the flower farm. Our floral design work is perfect for couples who truly love flowers and want their arrangements to reflect that passion.
Research and Reviews
Dive into reviews and portfolios of local florists. Look for those with a strong reputation for delivering personalized, high-quality service. Pay attention to customer testimonials and see if previous clients mention aspects that are important to you, such as attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism. Throughout the initial inquiry and proposal-building process, gauge a florist’s understanding of your vision and their ability to execute it. During the consultation, ask about their process, from flower selection to design and delivery. We take pride in our intimate relationship with flowers grown on the farm, handpicking the perfect flowers to create color palettes with depth and dimension, blending tones inspired by nature and each season.
Personal Connection
Your wedding florist should feel like a partner in your wedding planning! Choose someone who listens to your ideas, offers insightful suggestions, and makes you feel comfortable. At Flourish Flower Farm, we are known for our personal approach, ensuring that everything about your experience with our flowers and designs feels incredibly personal and utterly natural. We take on a very limited number of weddings or events per weekend so that we can provide the absolute best of our flowers and my (Niki’s) full attention as the lead designer. We pride ourselves in providing prompt, open communication and in our creativity to make each wedding special.
Consider Seasonality and Sustainability
Ask about the florist's approach to seasonality and sustainability. Florists who grow their own flowers or support local flower farms often provide the freshest blooms and have a smaller environmental footprint. Be mindful of the materials used in floral arrangements. Many florists use floral foam to secure flowers in place, but this material is non-biodegradable and harmful to the environment. This is why we prioritize eco-friendly practices and avoid using floral foam, ensuring that your wedding flowers are not only beautiful but also kind to the planet. Many florists also offer the option to donate or recycle wedding and event flowers by donating them to local charities and health care facilities. We are proud to partner with a local non-profit, Random Acts of Flowers, to allow wedding flowers to be enjoyed beyond the special day itself.
Inclusivity Finally, it's important to find a florist who is inclusive and welcomes all couples. We proudly supports LGBTQ couples and ensure that every wedding design is handcrafted especially for you, no matter who you are.
Hopefully this advice helps gives you some food for thought in finding the perfect florist to bring your wedding dreams to life in Asheville. If you are getting married and seeking a wedding florist who combines artistic flair with a deep love for flowers, Flourish Flower Farm might just be the perfect match for your special day!
