What to Look for in Your Wedding Florist
Before you inquire with any New Orleans florists, there are a few things you should consider. These questions can help you guide your research.
What’s your budget for florals? You can be flexible on this point, but it’s good to have an estimate in mind before reaching out to florists.
Which florists’ work aligns with your vision for your wedding? For example, if you care about color, find a florist whose portfolio showcases loads of color.
Can the florist work with your venue? It can be helpful to see the florists’ previous work in your wedding venue or similar venues.
Do you want to factor in environmental concerns? If so, pick a florist that uses locally grown, seasonal flowers as much as possible.

I’ve worked with all of these New Orleans florists and have been blown away by their gorgeous creations.
1. Cry Baby Floral
I work with these New Orleans florists often since our clientele loves color! I get excited whenever I get to work with them. Cry Baby Floral will drench your wedding in color. Their team is amazing.
Cry Baby Floral knows how to work with different venues and materials. They incorporate fruits, flowers, and other greenery into installations. Some of their pieces end up looking like still life paintings.

2. Doris Ione
In the past, I’ve worked with Destiny of Doris Ione. She truly takes in the atmosphere of a space and amplifies it with her art. Whether it's a back yard wedding or a high end hotel, she elevates everything around her.
Destiny did the ceremony installation for a backyard wedding I photographed. She incorporated florals to look like they grew naturally around the ceremony spot. It was epic!
3. Theia Flowers
Megan, owner of Theia Flowers, is the former creative director of Pistil and Stamen, a New Orleans favorite which closed a few years ago. I initially found Megan’s work through Pistil and Stamen and was excited to see that she’s continuing her work in weddings through Theia Flowers.
Every time I see Megan’s work, I’m in awe. Her floral art is as beautiful as a poem. Seriously stunning! At a Pharmacy Museum wedding I photographed, she created an arch with orange and gold tulips. The color and movement is unreal.
4. Sharime Kayla Design
Sharime Kayla Design is another one of the New Orleans florists who knows how to bring something unexpected to a wedding day. She thinks through every detail in your ceremony space, bouquets, and reception. Her sense of color is fantastic.

Fat Cat Flowers creates wedding florals with really unique blooms. Think protea and anthurium. They embrace colors and figure out what makes sense for your venue. I love the installation they did on the gazebo at Margaret’s Place. So breathtaking!
