My journey from a DIY bride to a professional wedding florist has been nothing short of transformative. With each bouquet, boutonniere, and centerpiece I've meticulously crafted, I've honed my skills and accumulated invaluable insights into the art of floral design. Now, I'm passionate about passing on this knowledge to fellow DIY enthusiasts, arming them with the tools and techniques they need to bring their floral visions to life.

You’re getting married!  Congratulations!  You now have so many decisions to make when planning for your big day.  It can get overwhelming and stressful.  But ensuring you have beautiful, uniquely “you” wedding flowers doesn’t have to be stressful at all.  Giving creative freedom to your florist is the answer!

When picking a wedding florist, determine if their overall design style and vision is what you want for your wedding flowers.  Since you already love their style, giving them creative freedom will be much easier because you’re already impressed by their floral creations. 

If florals are something that matter to you for your wedding day, then just go for it!

I've talked to so many people, myself included, who regret not having more flowers or the flowers they want. I was the bride who spent $2000 total on my wedding and honestly I wish more than anything I would have spent more on what truly mattered to me.

Let’s be honest, weddings are STRESSFUL!

Honestly, it all boils down to if you want to save money and add the time and effort of flowers onto your plate, or if you’d rather spend the money to not have to worry about it and let us take care of it for you!

If you want your florals to truly emanate who you are, find a florist that fits you and your personality! Otherwise you might find yourself paying a lot for work you don't like or only semi-like.

You really don’t need to know the exact details, numbers, or even arrangements you’ll need…the most important thing is to just get your florist booked for your wedding!
The details can come later!

Majority of my weddings have adjustments made up to a month before the wedding date. Changes happen and most of us florists are more than willing to be accommodating to those changes.

Consultations for wedding flowers is a vital part of the process of hiring a florist for your wedding day! Here’s what to expect from a consultation when you inquire with Sweet Afton Floral.

It may come as a surprise to some of you to hear that there is a proper way to hold your bouquet for photos.

Have you ever noticed when you’re taking a selfie that there are some angles that you like better than others? it’s basically the same with bouquets!

The Sweet Afton Floral experience! I’m guessing you’re probably here because you’re in need of wedding flowers and might be considering Sweet Afton Floral…but also might want to know more about how this works!…

If you’re planning an event, you might be asking yourself, “why do wedding flowers cost so much?”

As florists we get asked all to often why the cost for flower arrangements is so high. Most couples don’t know where to start, and that is OK! It is my hope...
