Before a flower ever reaches your wedding day it has already had quite the journey! While California is the largest US distributor of flowers, most blooms actually come from Central America and Holland. Flowers are grown on large-scale farms, then packaged and cold-shipped around the world and to us. It is an impressive feat of logistics and technology. By the time a flower reaches us here in Ohio it has traveled thousands of miles, but still has a long way to go before it makes it to a wedding! Here starts the real wedding flower journey!

Once the flowers reach our studio they are unboxed and dipped into a solution then hydrated in clean, fresh water. After hours of hydrating, thorns and excess leaves are stripped from the stem, and each stem is given a fresh cut. For a large-scale wedding, processing can involve thousands of stems and take up to 2 days of team effort! It’s a tedious but essential step before the magic design work can even begin. Remember flowers are a perishable product and there is always some amount of loss during travel. This means we are always ordering extra flowers to ensure we have plenty of product for your special day. Outdoor temperatures can wreak havoc on flower shipments, there can be delays at customs and flights can be rerouted due to weather. The longer the flowers sit in boxes the higher chance they won’t rehydrate and greater chance of a lesser quality. When these stressful delays happen, we are working behind the scenes to secure backup options and make sure you are none the wiser! This is why you hired Floral V Designs! We have a large team ready and waiting to create your amazing day!
