From Petals to Prestige: Behind the Blooms with Silvertini Florist

From humble beginnings to headline venues, Silvertini Florist has blossomed into one of Yorkshire’s most sought-after luxury floral brands. We sat down with founder Jessica Smith to talk about how it all began, her favourite moments, and how the Silvertini team supports couples on their wedding journey from first consultation to final bouquet.

We asked Jessica, ‘Can you tell us how your journey in this business began and what inspired you to start Silvertini?’ 

Her reply was ‘I began as a passion for floristry has flourished into something far beyond what I ever imagined. Silvertini started from a single bouquet, handcrafted with care, attention and a love for storytelling through flowers. That first arrangement wasn’t just about blooms, it was about evoking emotion and marking a moment. I founded Silvertini from my home in the heart of Waterton Park, and what was once a boutique, home-based service has grown into a nationally recognised brand in luxury event floristry. Our signature style is rooted in elegance, seasonal textures and natural beauty. This reflects the landscape that surrounds us in the world’s first nature reserve. As word spread, we were invited to style some of the region’s most prestigious weddings and private events. It wasn’t long before our work was recognised by leaders in the industry. We were approached by Interflora to join its national network and we've recently become a preferred supplier for major UK bridal retailers.’

Jessica expanded this answer by telling us, ‘One of our most exciting milestones came in 2025 when we became owners of our own wedding and event venue within the historic grounds of Waterton Park. Now known as Silvertini House, this venue is a true reflection of our brand and is a blend of floral artistry, elegant interiors and immersive nature. From bouquets to banquets, we now offer a fully integrated, in-house experience that redefines what it means to celebrate in style.’

Our next question was ‘What’s your favourite part of the job? Has there been a particular moment that stands out?’ Jessica replied to the first part of that question with,

‘There are so many moments that make this work magical, but one of my absolute favourites is the moment of transformation. When a blank space or even a single bouquet becomes something that makes someone stop, smile, and feel something real. Whether it's dressing a wedding ceremony we’ve spent months designing, or watching a family walk into Silvertini House on Christmas Day and audibly gasp at the décor, that reaction never gets old.’ 

The second part of the question Jessica answered ‘A standout moment for me was our first wedding at Grantley Hall. It was a huge milestone. Seeing our team’s work displayed in such an iconic venue was incredibly emotional. Equally unforgettable was the day we first opened the doors to Silvertini House under our ownership. Standing there, knowing we’d built something from the ground up and watching people walk in and feel joy, it was overwhelming in the best way.’

‘How do you help brides through their wedding journey?’

Jessica explained that they always say your wedding flowers should tell a story, your story. From the very first conversation to the final flourish on your big day, we’re here to guide, inspire, and deliver beauty at every step.

Here’s what the journey with Silvertini looks like:

Initial Consultation. It all begins with a relaxed, creative consultation where we get to know you — your style, your vision, your dreams. Whether you bring a mood board or just a colour palette, we listen carefully and begin crafting ideas that feel authentic to you.

Bespoke Proposal. Following our meeting, we send a personalised proposal filled with creative ideas, reference imagery, and indicative pricing. It’s a thoughtful starting point that captures the essence of your floral vision.

Refinement & Collaboration. We refine everything together — adjusting designs, playing with textures, or even starting fresh if inspiration strikes. It’s a collaborative process, always centred around you.

Ongoing Support. Things change — we get that. Whether your guest list shifts or you fall in love with a new idea on Pinterest, we’re here with flexibility and reassurance every step of the way.

Our Signature Touch: Complimentary Sample Bouquet. As your big day approaches, we’ll create a complimentary sample bridal bouquet for you to take to your final dress fitting — a Silvertini tradition that brings your entire look together with intention and beauty.

On the Day. We personally deliver every arrangement, from bouquets to buttonholes, ensuring each piece arrives picture-perfect. Our team works seamlessly behind the scenes to transition flowers between ceremony and reception, refresh displays, and keep everything looking its best — all day long.

Post-Wedding Care. After the celebration, we help you preserve your blooms or repurpose them into keepsakes. Whether you want to dry your bouquet or press petals into art, we’ll guide you through your options with care.

At Silvertini, it’s never just about flowers. It’s about how they make you feel, and the moments they help you remember forever.

From that very first bouquet to transforming venues like Grantley Hall and curating unforgettable experiences at Silvertini House, Jessica and her team have created something truly special. Their story is one of passion, artistry and purpose. They pour love into their work blooms in every detail.
