Every wedding bouquet, floral arch, and tablescape begins long before the first bloom is arranged. It starts with a vision—an idea, a mood, an emotion. At Hanako Flowers, the creative process is an intricate dance between artistry, sustainability, and the personal love stories of each couple.
A Journey from Vision to Reality
the art of wedding flowers
Painting with Flowers & Their Meaning
The journey starts with a conversation. A couple walks into our studio, their eyes filled with excitement, sharing their vision: softly romantic, modern and sculptural, wild and untamed, or a timeless classic. Some bring mood boards, others just a colour they love, a childhood memory of a garden in bloom, or a flower that holds deep sentimental value.
For us, floristry is more than just arranging flowers—it’s about weaving a narrative through nature’s palette. Every flower has a voice, a meaning, a history. The Victorian language of flowers, or floriography, gives each bloom a deeper symbolism, allowing us to infuse arrangements with hidden messages of love, devotion, and new beginnings.
THE INSPIRATION
Roses
The ultimate symbol of love and passion, with each colour carrying its own meaning. Soft blush for admiration, ivory for purity, deep red for eternal love.
Peonies
A favourite for weddings, representing prosperity, good fortune, and a happy marriage.
Lily of the Valley
Delicate and fragrant, symbolising purity, happiness, and devotion.
Orchids
An exotic beauty that stands for luxury, refinement, and deep love.
Forget-Me-Nots
Small but powerful, embodying faithfulness and enduring love.
Dahlias
dramatic and bold, representing strength, commitment, and an unbreakable bond.
We take this symbolism and curate floral selections that are not just visually stunning but rich with personal meaning—a bouquet that speaks, a tablescape that tells a story
With a vision in mind, the sourcing process begins. At Hanako Flowers, we believe in choosing each bloom with intention—not just for its beauty but for its journey.
Sourcing with Purpose & Sustainability

Imagination
It is our top priority to think outside the box to bring you the most impactful and memorable floral designs to your wedding. NO cookie-cutter designs, NO lazy execution.
Innovative and original - ALWAYS
Local & Seasonal First
We work closely with trusted local flower farms, handpicking the freshest stems at their seasonal peak. This reduces our carbon footprint and ensures flowers are at their most vibrant, having never seen a refrigerated cargo hold.
Ethical, Sustainable Imports
For exotic and luxury blooms, we carefully select sustainable international growers who uphold ethical labour standards, responsible water use, and eco-conscious farming practices. We never source from mass-produced flower farms that rely on harmful pesticides or exploit workers.

Slow Flowers
not Mass-Produced Blooms
We embrace the slow flower movement, sourcing mindfully instead of defaulting to chemically treated, artificially preserved flowers. We prioritise blooms that have been grown with care, not forced into unnatural growth cycles.
Each flower we select is a conscious choice, ensuring the final designs are as responsible as they are beautiful.

Where Magic Happens
Back at the studio, the transformation begins. The space hums with creativity, the air filled with the scent of fresh flowers.
the design
balancing movement, form, and texture—every stem placed with intention and artistry.
Bouquets are hand-tied,
designed like living art, ensuring arrangements feel abundant yet effortless, natural yet refined.
Tablescapes take shape
from cascading arches to dramatic hanging blooms, appearing as though they’ve always belonged in the space.
Floral installations come to life
We work using sustainable mechanics like Bio foam, Agra wool, chicken wire, moss, and reusable structures, ensuring that every design has a light footprint but a lasting impact.
A Wedding Day to Remember
The morning of the wedding is a flurry of quiet precision. Bouquets are carefully packed, each bloom placed in water to stay fresh. At the venue, our team moves with calm efficiency, ensuring every flower is positioned perfectly.
Then, the moment arrives. The bride holds her bouquet, fingers brushing over the delicate petals. The reception doors open, revealing a dreamscape of flowers—a space transformed by colour, texture, and meaning. Guests are swept into a floral world that feels both intentional and effortless, grand yet deeply personal.
But what they don’t see is the journey—the early morning farm visits, the hands that carefully selected each stem, the hours spent crafting every detail with love.
Because at Hanako Flowers, a wedding isn’t just an event. It’s a story told in petals, leaves, and stems—a fleeting moment captured in nature’s most beautiful form.
