Knack for Replication

Flower Couture is a boutique wedding florist. We design our flowers for every individual customer and no two bouquets are exactly alike.

Having said that, we are not purists when it comes to design. We don’t mind recreating or improving upon an existing style according to the customers’ preferences with flowers that can be found in Singapore.

Customers will email us pictures of flower arrangements from the internet and we try to recreate a similar look and style.

Often times, the pictures are from the western hemisphere, which could mean that certain flowers are not available locally.  In which case, we will advise the customer on alternative flowers to use or we’ll be brutally honest and say it’s not doable. (We rather say “can’t be done” upfront than to disappoint you later on your wedding day!)

Here are some examples of customers’ preferences which we’ve recreated.
