The arrangements every wedding needs

Planning your wedding flowers? Here’s what you need to consider. How many flowers does it really take to create your vision for your wedding day? Where do they go? What kind of arrangements do you need? And how do you allocate your budget to decorate the ceremony and reception sites?

Why I Built Poppy

Yes, wedding flowers are expensive, and you’re right to ask why. And, yes, Poppy’s flowers are as gorgeous in person as they are in our photos. Like anything lovely that looks effortless, there’s a lot of work that has gone into making Poppy’s flowers available to you. I think you’ll be more confident trusting Poppy with your florals if you know the story behind why I started this company. For what it’s worth, my knowledge of the floral industry saved me nearly $18,000 on my own wedding flowers. And after that happened, I realized I could put that knowledge to work for other people planning their weddings.

Community building through flowers

Through our Poppy Workshops, we work with big teams, small organizations, and groups of friends to create virtual floral design classes. In Poppy workshops, one of our Poppy floral designers leads a team through an hour-long floral design workshop. Our workshops offer a calming mental health break and a restorative hour spent making something of beauty with one’s hands.

How to become a floral designer

There are many pathways to becoming a floral designer. Maybe you were grocery shopping and impulsively reached for a pre-made bouquet – it just looked so fresh and beautiful! You think about the way flowers make you feel. The delicate weight in your hand. The impossibly soft texture of the petals. The nuance of their colors when you hold them against the light here, and the light over there. You feel restored around flowers. Suddenly, you’re wondering: could floral design be your calling?

Poppy is making the floral industry work for women

Most of the flowers sold in the US are grown by women. But there are almost no women at the top of the economic pyramid in the floral industry. Poppy is flipping the script by empowering women at every level of the floral supply chain, from seed to table.
