Why Gdańsk is Poland’s Hidden Gem for Weddings
Let’s be honest — Gdańsk is like that charming character in a rom-com who doesn't realize how stunning they are. Cobbled streets, the golden Baltic sunsets, centuries-old churches, and cozy coastal vibes — it's every couple's secret weapon for an unforgettable wedding. But here's the catch: even the most gorgeous venue needs the perfect floral touch.
So, where do you start? With the florist, of course. And today, we're taking you inside the floral studio of Prosta Forma — a team of wedding magicians who've been turning stems into fairy tales since 1999.
Expert Interview with a Top Wedding Florist in Gdańsk
"Gdańsk is a floral playground," smiles Kasia, lead designer at Prosta Forma. "One day we're dressing up the majestic Oliwa Cathedral with cascading roses and hydrangeas, and the next, we're weaving wildflowers into archways on Stogi Beach."
The key? Listening. Not just to the couple but to the season, the venue, and even the weather (yes, Gdańsk winds like to make a surprise appearance). The studio’s philosophy is all about storytelling — every petal matters.
Local Flower Trends and Seasonal Bouquets
Forget Pinterest for a second — in Poland, nature itself is the trendsetter.
Spring in Gdańsk? Peonies, tulips, and ranunculus steal the show.
Summer? Think wildflowers, sunflowers, and lavender.
Autumn? Dahlias, chrysanthemums, and rich foliage for those warm, moody vibes.
Winter weddings? Amaryllis, evergreen branches, and berries are your best friends.
Pro tip: Always go local. Not only is it eco-friendly, but Polish blooms are at their absolute best when they don't have to survive a 3,000 km journey.
Gdańsk Wedding Venues That Deserve Flowers (and Love!)
- St. Mary’s Church — the Gothic giant that takes your breath away.
- Villa Eva — intimate, elegant, and nestled among Gdańsk’s green corners.
- St. John’s Church — perfect for literary souls.
- Sopot Pier — yes, you can get married over the sea breeze!
Insider tip: Always ask your florist to visit the venue beforehand — flowers are like people; they behave differently depending on the surroundings.
Real Wedding Stories (and Floral Fails Turned Fabulous)
Kasia laughs remembering a beach wedding: “The wind was so wild, the bouquet tried to elope before the bride! We tied it down with driftwood, and it turned into the couple’s favorite detail.”
Or the literary-themed wedding at St. John’s Church where old books became part of the floral centerpieces, creating a mini secret garden for guests to wander through during dinner. Magic? No — just brilliant floristry.
