As co-founders of the Arizona Flower Collective, we have unparalleled access to the finest local blooms, ensuring that every arrangement we create is not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible.

Why Hire a Studio Florist

1. Personalized Attention and Customization

Studio florists typically work with a limited number of clients at a time, allowing them to provide personalized attention and tailor their services to meet your specific needs. This means you get a bespoke floral design that truly reflects your vision and style, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

We do not offer packaged wedding flower deals, because we always ended up customizing the package for each couple. Now, we just discuss what’s most important for you on your wedding day and give you an estimate for those items! It’s different for every couple. You will not value the same floral arrangements as the next person, and we want to honor that. We only take one wedding or event per week to ensure that each couple gets our full undivided attention and creativity!

2. High-Quality Materials and Innovative Designs

Without the overhead costs associated with maintaining a traditional retail space, studio florists can invest more in high-quality materials and innovative design techniques. This focus on quality ensures that your floral arrangements are not only beautiful but also long-lasting and unique.

3. Flexibility and Adaptability

Studio florists often have more flexibility in their schedules and can adapt to last-minute changes or special requests more easily than larger retail florists. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for weddings and events, where timing and precision are crucial.

Decide you need rehearsal dinner florals the week before or of your wedding? No problem – we’ve got your back. Send us an email at least 72hrs in advance and we will make it happen! 

Note: All changes to your wedding order are complete at the time of your final payment, which is 3 weeks prior to your date!

4. Sustainable Practices

Many studio florists, including Urban Desert Flora, prioritize sustainable practices. By choosing a studio florist committed to eco-friendly methods, you can ensure that your floral arrangements are not only stunning but also environmentally responsible. This includes using locally grown flowers, composting arrangements after events, and minimizing waste.

5. Strong Industry Relationships

We cannot stress enough how important networking and building professional relationships has been for the success of Urban Desert Flora.

Studio florists often have strong relationships with local growers and wholesalers, which allows them to source unique and high-quality flowers that may not be available through larger retail florists. These connections ensure that your arrangements are fresh, vibrant, and tailored to your preferences.

Our founder and lead designer has also co-founded the Arizona Flower Collective, the first organization with a fully local wholesale market, making our access to and relationship with local flowers the most comprehensive. While you might have your own account at a floral wholesale, our experience and deep knowledge of the flower trade, combined with the strong relationships we’ve built with our wholesale reps, ensure that your flowers are unique to you. Event flowers are our specialty! Let us cook!

Theses connections are crucial for a several reasons: 

• Our strong relationship with local growers allows us to source the most unique and high-quality flowers that are not available through larger retail florists. 
• Networking within the floral and event industry fosters collaboration and innovation.
• By working closely with other professionals, we are trend setters and are up to date on the most innovative floral trends and techniques, which we incorporate into our designs. Our collaborative spirit allows us to continually improve and offer cutting-edge floral arrangements. 

6. Creative Freedom

Working with a studio florist gives you access to a designer who is passionate about their craft and eager to push creative boundaries. This creative freedom results in innovative and personalized designs that stand out and make a lasting impression.

Often times, our clients want a unique twist on a common theme or trend, or they want something artistic and bespoke. There typically isn’t a great photo on Pinterest to help depict the design. This is why we sketch and use non-flower reference photos to communicate these designs. 

Looking for a design inspired by your favorite landscapes? We are here to infuse the desert into the prairie, a tropical climate, or whatever theme you’d like! There’s not an idea out there that will scare us away! Let’s truly create something special. Put your trust in us and you will not be disappointed! 

7. Stress-Free Experience

Hiring a studio florist means you can leave the floral details to the experts, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your event. From initial consultation to final setup, we handle all the logistics, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.

8. Enhanced Communication

With a smaller client base, studio florists can offer more direct and frequent communication. This ensures that your ideas and feedback are heard and incorporated into the final designs, resulting in a more collaborative and satisfying experience.

We hear you and we’ve got your back!
