What Makes The Painted Bouquet Different Than Other Wedding Florists?

When couples begin searching for a wedding florist, they often discover that many designers offer beautiful flowers. But beauty alone isn’t what creates a wedding that feels deeply personal, intentional, and unforgettable.

At The Painted Bouquet, my approach goes far beyond arranging blooms. My work is rooted in storytelling, artistry, and a deep understanding of how flowers shape the emotional experience of a wedding day — especially for destination weddings in France.

Here’s what truly sets my work apart.

I Design With the Entire Wedding Experience in Mind

I don’t design flowers as isolated elements.
I design them as part of a larger story.

Every bouquet, table arrangement, and installation is created in conversation with:

• Your venue’s architecture and surroundings

• The season and natural landscape

• The way your guests will move, gather, and celebrate

My background working extensively in châteaux, countryside estates, and historic French venues allows me to create florals that feel as though they belong there, rather than decor that feels added on.

I also have a photography background and will always plan flowers where your photos will be to make the best impact and make sure the flowers you’ve invested in are forever in your forever wedding photos!

My Style Is Garden-Inspired, Natural, and Thoughtful — Not Trend-Driven

While trends come and go, my work is rooted in a timeless, garden-inspired aesthetic.

That means:

• Movement rather than stiffness

• Organic shapes instead of rigid symmetry

• Flowers that feel gathered, not manufactured

I take inspiration from French gardens, old stone walls, climbing roses, and the quiet elegance of nature. This approach ensures your wedding flowers feel just as beautiful years from now as they do on the day itself. I love loose and organic-like a garden would grow or how you gather flowers if you were picking a bouquet.

I Work Closely With Couples Planning a Wedding in France

Planning a wedding abroad can feel overwhelming. Many of my couples are English-speaking and planning from another country, which means clarity, communication, and trust are essential.

I guide couples through:

• Floral decisions that work with French venues and regulations

• Seasonal flower availability in France

• Practical design choices that elevate the experience without excess

My role often becomes part florist, part creative guide — helping couples translate their vision into something that feels authentic, refined, and achievable.

I Value Connection as Much as Design

What truly differentiates my work isn’t just how the flowers look — it’s how the process feels.

I take time to understand:

• Why certain colors matter to you

• Which moments feel most important

• How you want your guests to feel when they arrive

This connection allows me to design flowers that feel personal rather than generic. Many couples tell me they felt understood — and that matters just as much as the final result.

I Believe Flowers Should Feel Alive

Flowers are living things, and I treat them that way.

I focus on:

• Freshness and natural movement

• Thoughtful placement rather than excess

• Allowing flowers to enhance moments, not overwhelm them

From intimate elopements to large destination weddings, my goal is always the same: to let the flowers quietly elevate the atmosphere while allowing the people and the celebration to shine.

A Different Kind of Wedding Florist in France

There are many talented florists, and I deeply respect the craft. What makes The Painted Bouquet different is the balance of artistry, experience, and emotional awareness that goes into every wedding.

Flowers are not just decoration.
They frame memories.
They soften spaces.
They hold meaning.
