Trust the Process: 5 Tips for a Better Floral Experience

Trust the Process: 5 Tips for a Better Floral Experience 

When it comes to wedding flowers, there’s a lot of beauty and just as much confusion. From Pinterest-perfect installs to TikTok trends and styled shoot inspo, it’s easy to feel like you need to have it all figured out before even reaching out to a florist. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to be a floral expert to get flowers you love. You just need the right guidance, some honest conversations, and a little bit of trust. At Bell’s Flowers, we’re here to share the real side of wedding florals, what actually matters, what doesn’t, and how we turn your inspiration into something that’s both beautiful and true to you.

1. Pinterest Is a Great Tool, But Not a Floral Menu

We love inspiration boards just as much as you do, but many of the viral floral photos online feature out-of-season blooms, large-scale installs with high price tags, or custom designs created for styled shoots (not real budgets). Instead of trying to copy a look exactly, use it to share your style then trust your florist to bring it to life in a way that fits your season, budget, and venue.

Translation: Let’s use Pinterest as a moodboard, not a shopping list.

2. Flowers Are a Living Art Form and Every Stem Is Unique

No two roses, ranunculus, or hydrangea blooms are exactly the same. Part of the magic of floral design is letting nature guide the final outcome. If you’re after a very rigid, identical, cookie-cutter look… fresh florals might not be your best fit. If you can embrace organic beauty and trust the creative process? You’ll end up with something even better than expected.

3. Your Budget Shapes the Entire Design (and That’s Okay!)

We work with all kinds of budgets, and there is no shame in the number you bring to the table. But transparency is key. Being open about your floral budget from the start allows us to guide you toward the most impactful choices, whether that’s prioritizing a show-stopping bouquet, ceremony install, or gorgeous centerpieces.

The more we know, the more magic we can make.

4. Repurposing Flowers Is Smart 

One of our favorite wedding hacks is reusing your ceremony flowers throughout the day. Think: aisle arrangements that become sweetheart table décor, or arch installs that frame the cake table later on. 

Double the impact. Same blooms. Less waste.

5. We’re Here to Design, Not Just Deliver

Floral design is more than dropping off bouquets and calling it a day. We’re creatives, problem-solvers, and part of your wedding day team. When you hire a florist, you’re hiring someone who sees the big picture, from how colors look against your bridesmaid dresses to how arrangements photograph in different lighting.

We don’t just want your flowers to be pretty. We want them to feel like you.

Final Thoughts

The best floral designs happen when there’s trust, communication, and collaboration. We hope this helped you feel more confident heading into your wedding flower journey. If you’re ready to chat, dream, or ask a million questions, we’re just an inquiry form away.

Let’s make some floral magic.
