Floral designers are becoming increasingly sought-after: with their delicate scents and evocative of the poetry in nature, flowers are the little secret that makes the difference between a good wedding and an exceptional wedding. Bouquets, toppers and installations are the backbone of any setting, creating an emotive atmosphere and adding to the general feel of the event, whether romantic or eccentric. 

One of  – if not the – most creative aspects of wedding planning should be conceptualized by a top floral designer, leaving it to your wedding planner to liaise with him/her to bring your ideas to life. Top floral designers are veritable artists capable of thinking outside the box to enliven a space, elaborate on a theme, and make dreams and visions reality.

We all know that flowers can take up a large slice of the wedding budget. Even if you don’t have a huge wedding budget, you can still contact a floral designer, making sure you maximize your budget by having flower arrangements in key areas of your venue space. You can combine real flowers with fake flowers, and use candles to enhance the romantic atmosphere.

Instagram and Pinterest provide plenty of inspiration for wedding flowers. In the meantime, here’s our shortlist of the world’s most talented wedding floral designers for your upcoming celebrations or simply for you to gather a few ideas.
