Flowers of Kingwood wedding team is one of the best in the greater Kingwood and Houston area
Many florists now report experiencing difficulties in receiving timely and complete flower orders from flower farms. The global effect of the pandemic in early 2020 has been felt by many industries. One in particular is the US Floral industry. If you are needing to have Wedding Flowers in the next 6-9 months, we strongly recommend that you start wedding planning with a florist as soon as possible. Flowers of Kingwood is a great choice if you are in the Kingwood and Houston Metro. One of our many specialties is the floral planning of magnificent weddings.
The flower shortage facing all florists is an accumulation of several outside influences. One thing for sure is that most florists in the US and beyond are feeling the pressure. All are doing their very best to find ways to continue servicing their client base in the most efficient manner. Flowers of Kingwood offers a professional team of wedding planning experts and designers that create stunning flower bouquets. We would be honored and delighted to get started with you in planning your wedding.
Flower Supply Challenges
Environmental Changes – Climates in some regions where flowers are grown have changed. In South America, they are reporting colder nights and more rainfall which has negatively affected flower production. Then domestically, many farms are located in California which as we know has been suffering from severe drought conditions.
Global Pandemic – We all understand the impact this bad event had worldwide. This 2020 event morphed into effecting many different industries including Wholesale Flower Growers. Many had to shut down farms due to quarantine requirements. This in turn resulted in laying off many workers and destroying tons of flowers. Some farms have not reopened and appear to have gone out of business.

Breaking it down further to real numbers, the National Association of Wholesale Distributors reported that there were 5.64 million employed in the US floral industry at the end of December 2020. That equates to 247,717 jobs lost between 2019 and 2020. That is the lowest level of floral industry employment in the past seven years. Then furthering the problem was the reduced number of flowers that were grown.
Increased Number of Weddings – There is a huge increase in the number of weddings. Many were postponed due to the Pandemic. The U.S. Wedding Report study reported that in 2021 there were an estimated 1.93 million weddings scheduled. That number for 2022 has climbed to 2.47 million. This increase in the demand for wedding flowers coupled with the supply issues is making the problem worse.
Foreign Political Pressures – In many parts of the world there are political unrest matters. This is true in Ecuador which is a major supplier of wholesale flowers. There are many protests that have blocked major transportation routes. Numerous flower farms are unable or finding it difficult to transport their flowers to shippers.
Consequently, due to these issues, even though people have gotten back to normal and begun planning events again, there are now fewer flowers and workers to load trucks. Sadly, many flowers are left to die in the heat because they cannot be loaded onto trucks.
In order to provide the best products and service to all clients, Flowers of Kingwood has taken similar actions as other Florists to make some adjustments in order to continue great service for customers. Below are a few of the steps we have taken to best serve our customers in these difficult flower supply conditions.
Set Accurate Expectations – The last thing we want to do is over promise and under deliver. When we set up a wedding consultation, we will provide honest and reasonable time frames to ensure your wedding flowers arrive on time and looking beautiful.
Early Wedding Bookings – Your wedding is a very important day. Due to the issues, we are all faced with regarding fresh flowers supply, we strongly encourage advance wedding planning.
Possible Substitutions – Unfortunately, it may be necessary to be flexible with wedding flower choices. While you will have first choices for your dream wedding flowers, it may not be possible in all cases to obtain those exact flowers.
