Wild and wonderful: 5 of the best Cork wedding florists

By Katie Mythen-Lynch September 24, 2019August 27, 2019

The best Cork wedding florists are always in high demand.

Whether it’s an bouquet of roses and peonies you want to tote up the aisle, or an armful of gorgeous greenery, some florists have a knack of turning a simple bunch of blooms into a piece of art.

If you don’t have access to your very own country garden (or even a balcony for a potted hydrangea) leave all your floral requirements to the experts.

These are the best Cork wedding florists to call for all your fashion-forward flora needs…

1. Wild Floral Couture

Flowersmith, artist and all-round creative genius Jill O’Keeffe is the go-to gal when it comes to innovative botanical design and styling for weddings, events and editorial in Cork. Her complete adoration of the great outdoors inspires her eclectic style, so you can be guaranteed an original take on wedding bouquets to buttonholes.

She regularly shares her vast knowledge with beginners with her seasonal workshops and classes so keep an eye on her website for updates.

2. The Best of Buds

Boasting one of the most eye-catching shop fronts in the city, The Best of Buds spills out of the gorgeous Winthrop Arcade onto Winthrop Street. Owner and floral designer-in-chief Carole and her team are inspired by people, fashion, music, culture and food and work hard to capture the personalities of their clients in their wedding creations.

Put Best of Buds in your little black book for unique or quirky birthday or anniversary bouquets and hatboxes too – they deliver throughout Cork.

3. Hanako

Plucked fresh from her rambling hilltop flower farm in West Cork, Hana’s wild blooms follow the rhythm of the season.

“I love working with different flower personalities; the way some are free in form, some wild, all unique.” she says. “They are a stark contrast to the rigid, chilled flowers that are mass produced and flown in from afar.”

She’s accepting wedding bookings for 2020 now so get in touch with her here.

4. Cork Flower Studio

Located in a handy spot on Douglas Street, Cork Flower Studio has been bringing colour and life to weddings and events for more than a decade.

This family business has a reputation for fabulous sculptural work (feast your eyes on these hand-adorned chairs) and they always seem to have a fun heather or brassica plant to pick up en route to a party or get-together too. Don’t leave without some gorgeous Cork-made Crop Candles.

5. Bloomsday Flowers

If it’s roses and romance you’re after, you can’t go wrong with Bloomsday Flowers.

The creative team deliver wedding bouquets, cake flowers and rustic church decor all over Cork and their Carrigtwohill shop stocks all kinds of wedding bits and bobs too.
