Planning your wedding flowers? In this episode, Lettie sits down with Christina of Homestead Floral Wedding & Events to talk through the real behind-the-scenes work that goes into wedding florals — from bouquets and arch pieces to weather, budgets, inspiration photos, silk vs. fresh flowers, and those little details couples may not think about until wedding day.
Christina brings 40 years of floral experience and shares helpful insight for brides, grooms, and families planning a wedding. We talk about why wedding flowers are different from everyday retail florals, how far in advance to book your florist, what affects floral pricing, how Pinterest and AI inspiration photos can be helpful but tricky, and why venue logistics matter so much when it comes to arches, installations, and outdoor ceremonies.
In this episode, we cover:
🌸 Fresh vs. silk wedding flowers
🌸 Average wedding floral budgets
🌸 How wedding florists prepare during wedding week
🌸 Why inspiration photos may not always be realistic
🌸 How weather, wind, and heat affect floral setup
🌸 What to know about arch pieces and installations
🌸 Seasonal flowers, substitutions, and floral pricing
🌸 Tips for brides planning rustic, outdoor, or barn weddings
We hope this helps you feel a little more prepared and a lot more confident as you plan your wedding day.
