About Florists

Flowers play a deeply symbolic role in South Asian weddings, from the sacred jaimala (varmala) garland exchange that seals the union to the elaborate floral mandap that frames the ceremony. Asian wedding florists understand the cultural significance of specific blooms — marigolds for Hindu ceremonies symbolising auspiciousness, roses and jasmine for their fragrance and beauty, and orchids for modern elegance. Beyond the ceremony, florists create bridal bouquets, hair flowers (gajra), table centrepieces, entrance arches, and increasingly popular floral walls for photo backdrops. The choice between fresh and artificial flowers is an important consideration: fresh flowers offer natural beauty and fragrance but wilt over long celebration days, while high-quality silk flowers maintain their look throughout and can be kept as mementos. Many Asian wedding florists offer a hybrid approach, using fresh flowers for garlands and bouquets where fragrance matters, and premium artificial flowers for structural installations like mandaps and arches. When booking, discuss your colour palette, share venue photos, and ask to see examples of their work at similar-sized Asian weddings.

Common Questions

How much do flowers cost for an Asian wedding in the UK?

Jaimala garlands cost £30-£80 per pair. Bridal bouquets range from £60-£200. A full mandap floral decoration costs £500-£3,000+ depending on the flower types and density. Complete venue floristry packages for an Asian wedding typically run £1,500-£6,000.

What flowers are traditionally used in Asian weddings?

Marigolds are central to Hindu ceremonies for their auspicious significance. Roses symbolise love and are used universally. Jasmine (mogra) is popular for garlands and hair decoration. Lotus flowers represent purity. Modern Asian weddings also incorporate peonies, hydrangeas, and orchids for a contemporary touch.

Should I choose fresh or artificial flowers for my wedding?

Fresh flowers offer natural beauty and fragrance but can wilt during long Asian wedding days. High-quality artificial flowers look stunning in photos and last throughout the event. Many couples choose fresh for garlands and bouquets (where scent matters) and artificial for mandap decor and large installations.

What is a jaimala or varmala ceremony and what garlands do I need?

The jaimala (also called varmala) is the garland exchange ceremony where the bride and groom place flower garlands around each other's necks, symbolising acceptance and respect. You need two matching garlands, typically made from roses, marigolds, jasmine, or orchids. Order these specifically — they are different from decorative garlands.
