Behind The Scenes
Firstly may I congratulate you on your engagement, now the excitement begins. Each and every wedding are as unique as our couples. We like to work with our clients and listen to their ideas and then shape their dreams into reality. Every season brings different shapes, colours, textures, and forms of each flower, and tree in nature, the seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, all excite me as a florist.
Consultation:
After your initial enquiry with me, we can chat through Zoom, telephone and WhatsApp depending if you live in the UK or abroad.
The start:
Planning- I am a planner and want to ensure that every element of your wedding day is covered from securing beautiful florals from local British growers, and growers from further afield to ensure the staging of your wedding day is perfect. We deliver from start to finish.
Visuals:
I have teamed up with a local artist who will bring my ideas to reality for you to visualize your proposed designs, flowers, textures, and colour palette. -The dream!
Proposed budget:
We shall provide an estimated proposal for you to consider. Every proposal is custom-made depending on the size of your wedding. Should you wish to proceed a booking fee is payable to secure your wedding date with us. However, your booking fee will be refunded should you choose Yolanda Blooms. The full balance is payable 3 weeks before your wedding day.
Time-scale:
Depending on the size of your wedding your wedding flowers could take 1 week to prepare for a large wedding or 3 to 4 days for smaller weddings. I will place my order to my growers or suppliers 2 weeks in advance, then await the arrival of flowers the week of your wedding, then condition every single flower stem(conditioning means cutting and removing leaves of all flowers, thorns off all roses, and cut every stem to let the flowers absorb water) which could be thousands of stems. There are different stages and different methods of conditioning all types of flowers which could take up too 1 full day just conditioning the flowers to ensure the perfect opening of blooms for your wedding day. Then the designer begins working long hours to ensure every flower shines, but we love it.
Pressure off:
Let us take any pressure off you it’s time to relax and enjoy the rest of your planning knowing that you have professional florists looking after you. We will work together with your venue, and other suppliers to ensure you have a fabulous day.
BREATHE, RELAX, ENJOY!

What People Are Saying
“Yolanda understood this brief and really surpassed my expectations on what we could achieve. I was delighted with the end creations – from my beautiful bouquet, to the church pews, to the reception centre pieces. What I will most remember about working with Yolanda is her true passion for what she does, her creativity and idea.”
— Alicia
“What I loved most about working with Yolanda is how quickly she conceptualised what I imagined my day to be and brought it to life, at first in flower story boards and then on my wedding day. What she created was truly breath taking and actual work of art but would you expect anything less from someone that’s won not once but twice at the Chelsea Flower show?.”
— Janine
