Your Wedding Flowers: Understanding Your Vision

Your Wedding Flowers: Understanding Your Vision

At Irelands Florist, we understand how meaningful your wedding day is—it’s not just an event, it’s a celebration of your love, your story, and everything that makes your relationship uniquely yours. Flowers are such a powerful part of that story. They create mood, evoke emotion, and leave lasting impressions. But we also know that planning your wedding flowers can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in—with heart, experience, and a deep passion for what we do.

We’re not just a florist—we’re a business with heart at its very core. Every wedding we work on is treated as if it were our own. We’re genuinely invested in your day, and it’s our mission to make sure your floral experience feels exciting, calm, and deeply personal.

As a florist with over 30 years of experience in weddings and events, I’ve had the honour of working with hundreds of couples. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that no two weddings are ever the same—because no two couples are ever the same. That’s why our first step is always to get to know you. When you come in for your consultation, we’ll talk about your vision, your style, your story. We’ll listen carefully, ask the right questions, and gently guide you through all the options. Whether you know exactly what you want or feel completely lost, we’re here to help you bring it all together.

Of course, budget matters. While many wedding experts suggest allocating around 8–10% of your total wedding budget for flowers, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice. We’ll always work within your means to create something beautiful. Sometimes that means finding clever alternatives—like swapping out an imported flower for a seasonal local bloom that offers a similar look at a fraction of the cost. The results? Still breathtaking. Still very much you... just without the high price tag attached.

And while we love having lots of planning time, we’re also realists. Life is busy. Plans change. Maybe you’ve had to pivot venues or bring your wedding forward. Maybe you’ve only just started planning and your date is creeping up fast. Whatever the case, we’re no strangers to working on shorter timelines. Our team is quick-thinking, solution-focused, and always up for the challenge of making magic happen—even on tight timeframes. If there’s a way to make it work, we’ll find it.

So whether you’ve been dreaming of your bouquet since you were five, or you have no idea where to start—know this: we get it. It’s completely normal to feel a bit unsure or even overwhelmed when it comes to wedding flowers. But that’s what we’re here for. We’ll hold your hand through the process (figuratively, unless you need a real one too), answer every question, and make sure you feel confident and cared for from your first visit right through to the moment you hold your bouquet. No pressure. No judgement. Just friendly guidance and honest advice.

We can’t wait to hear your story and bring your vision to life. There’s something incredibly special about helping couples celebrate such a momentous day, and it’s not a role we take lightly. When you're ready, reach out to book your consultation. Whether you're just starting to imagine your big day or you're deep in the planning zone, we’d be truly honoured to be part of your wedding journey. Let’s make something beautiful together.
