WordPress Website Design Wedding Florist

Bergdorf’s Flowers is a wedding and events florist based in Richmond, London. Run by Kat, an exceptionally talented florist, the business specialises in weddings at prestigious venues including Kew Gardens and Bingham Riverhouse, as well as high-profile events and television work for productions like House of the Dragon and brands like Vivienne Westwood.

When Kat first contacted me in 2021, her website was actively working against her. The site was over 15 years old, barely functional beyond a single image slider, and completely failed to represent the quality of her work. For a florist of her calibre working at some of London’s most beautiful venues, the site was doing more harm than good. I helped her patch it temporarily while she focused on her business, but by 2024 it was time for a complete rebuild.

I built a custom WordPress site that finally showcases Kat’s work properly. The site features real weddings with professional photography, dedicated pages for her key venue locations, an active blog, and clear paths for couples to get in touch. Since launch, her Kew Gardens wedding bookings have grown substantially, she’s been awarded listed supplier status at Kew, and she’s in the application process for other prestigious venues. Beyond the website, I provide ongoing maintenance, manage her social media, and offer business support as she continues to grow.
