What is One Myth About Your Vendor Category That You Would Like to Debunk?
Most wedding professionals are doing so much more behind the scenes than people often realise. They’re not just executing a task—they’re collaborating, creating, and carefully shaping moments that feel deeply personal and meaningful. We asked wedding professionals about some aspects of their business that may be misunderstood.
Celebrants: More Than Just a Script
“Some people assume that celebrant-led ceremonies follow a set template, but it’s actually quite the opposite,” says Celebrant Kim Hall. “Each ceremony is thoughtfully built from the ground up, inspired by the unique story, personality, and wishes of the couple or family at the heart of it.”
Celebrants aren’t simply reading pre-written words but rather they’re learning about your values, your journey, and what you want your ceremony to truly feel like. They’re creative partners who design something entirely your own. Think of a celebrant as a storyteller, guiding your celebration with heart and intention.
Florists: It's More Than Just Pretty Flowers
“One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that wedding flowers are ‘just expensive for no reason,’” shares Primrose Porter of Flowers by Primrose. “But behind every arrangement are months of thoughtful work—consultations, moodboards, venue walkthroughs, early morning flower market visits, and sustainable sourcing practices.”
Florists aren’t just arranging flowers. They’re weaving together a visual language that reflects your love story. When you see that stunning floral arch or perfect bouquet, you’re seeing the result of creativity, planning, and deep care that started long before the blooms arrived.
Small Creatives: Custom, Heartfelt, and Often Overlooked
“Many couples don’t realise how many small businesses are out there creating personal, meaningful items just for them,” says Kalmia of Kalmia Wedding Albums. “Working with a small business is a wonderful way to support passionate makers and get something truly one-of-a-kind.”
From handcrafted albums and signage to lovingly made stationery and favours, small creative businesses often pour their heart into every detail. It’s not just about the final product—it’s about the story behind it, and the connection you build along the way.
Looking Beyond the Myths
Every wedding professional brings something special to the table: a process, a passion, and a dedication that can’t always be seen at first glance. Ask your vendors about their work, what inspires them, and how they create what they do.
Chances are, you’ll uncover not only incredible talent, but also genuine care, artistry, and commitment—qualities that make your celebration truly unforgettable.
