How was this South Australian list of top wedding floral designers compiled?
At ABIA Weddings, it is important to us that all wedding couples plan their special day with confidence, based on the recommendations of recently-married couples and their own real experiences. So, this list is solely based on the feedback of real customers who voted for their wedding florist in the prestigious South Australian ABIA Wedding Awards. Of particular note, this list is not a compilation of businesses with the most Instagram followers, or those who paid to get their name on a list.
Since 1996, ABIA have asked real brides and grooms to rate their wedding vendors out of 100% for:
- Quality of Product and Experience
- Quality of Service and Communication
- Value for Money
- Attitude of Staff and Friendliness
The South Australian wedding floral artists below are those that attained a combined rating of more than 95% in these categories, in order of achievement, and were announced as winners and finalists at the recent South Australian ABIA Wedding Awards.
