Your wedding day is a bit like a patchwork quilt — every piece stitched together with love, joy, and a touch of magic. And among all the bits that make it truly you, the flowers are right up there at the top. They don’t just sit there looking pretty — they tell your story in colour and scent, in shape and texture.
Finding the right florist isn’t just another box to tick — it’s part of the fun. So, if you’re tying the knot in Lancashire, here’s a laid-back guide to making sure your wedding blooms are everything you’ve dreamed of.

Step 1: Start with a Vision
Before you start scrolling through Instagram or firing off emails, take a moment to picture what flowers mean to your big day.
Are you going for rustic barn charm, sleek city chic, or something a bit boho?
Got a soft spot for peonies or a thing for sunflowers?
Will flowers just be in your bouquet, or will they be spilling across the tables, archways, and dancefloor?
A clear picture in your head makes finding the right florist so much easier — and stops consultations turning into a game of “guess what’s in my brain.”
Step 2: Keep it Local
Lancashire is absolutely brimming with talented florists, and working with someone local (like us at Bluebells and Daisies) has a load of perks. We know what’s in season here, we’ve probably worked at your venue before, and if you need a last-minute tweak on the day, we’re just round the corner.
Plus, we love nothing more than weaving a bit of Lancashire countryside magic into each arrangement.
Step 3: Ask the Right Questions
Meeting florists is like dating — you’re looking for that spark and someone who gets your style. When you sit down with them, here are some handy questions to have up your sleeve:
Experience & Style
How long have you been creating wedding flowers?
Have you worked with my kind of theme before?
Practical Bits
Are you free on my date?
How many weddings do you take on in a day?
Can you get to my venue easily?
Design & Creativity
Can you source the flowers I’ve got my heart set on?
Are you happy mixing tradition with a twist?
Money & Paperwork
What’s your pricing like?
Any extra charges for delivery or setting up?
How does your deposit and cancellation policy work?
Sustainability
Do you use local blooms where possible?
What happens to leftover flowers?
Step 4: Match your Blooms to your Vibe
Flowers don’t just decorate a wedding — they set the mood. At Bluebells and Daisies, we work across loads of styles:
Rustic Elegance: Wildflowers, greenery, and a touch of twine for that countryside feel.
Timeless Romance: Soft pastel roses, peonies, and hydrangeas for all the dreamy vibes.
Bohemian Bliss: Loose, bold, and full of personality — pampas grass, proteas, and pops of colour.
Modern Minimalism: Monochrome magic, clean shapes, and statement vases.
Whimsical Wonderland: Bright, playful blooms that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook.
Step 5: Go Seasonal (Your Purse Will Thank You)
Lancashire’s seasons each bring their own treasures:
Spring: Tulips, daffodils, blossom branches.
Summer: Lush roses, sweet peas, delphiniums.
Autumn: Rich dahlias, berries, chrysanthemums.
Winter: Amaryllis, evergreens, frosty whites.
Seasonal blooms look fresher, last longer, and usually cost less — win-win.
Step 6: Keep Talking
Once you’ve picked your florist, don’t disappear until the big day. Share mood boards, Pinterest finds, and fabric swatches. We’ll offer ideas you might never have thought of, and together we’ll keep the vision on track. A final check-in just before your wedding helps iron out any last details.
Step 7: Beyond the Bouquet
We’re not just about dropping off flowers and waving goodbye. We can handle set-up, tidy-up, and even create keepsakes like dried bouquets, so you’ve got something to treasure long after the confetti’s been swept away.
Why We’d Love to Work With You
At Bluebells and Daisies, we’ve helped countless couples bring their floral visions to life — from big, bold centrepieces to intimate posies. Whether your wedding’s grand or cosy, traditional or totally unique, we’ll make sure your flowers feel like you.
Final Word
Choosing your wedding florist should feel exciting, not stressful. With the right person on board, your flowers won’t just match your day — they’ll make it. If you’re getting married in Lancashire, we’d be delighted to help you create something beautiful.
