Senior Wedding Floral Designer & Installation LeadWedgewood Weddings | A Divine Event (Design Studio)

Location: A Divine Event is located in Norcross, GA with installations taking place on site at Wedgewood Weddings Venues
Schedule: Tuesday–Saturday or Wednesday–Sunday, with regular weekend availability required

Pay Range: $26-$30 based on experience
Position Type: Part-Time 25-40 hours a week depending on event & production needs, with some opportunities for 40+ hours based on event demand.

Wedgewood Weddings is seeking an experienced Senior Wedding Floral Designer & Installation Lead to join our Atlanta design studio and make an immediate impact on the quality, consistency, and execution of our wedding and event floral designs.

This is a senior hands-on design role for a highly skilled wedding floral professional who can step confidently into a fast-paced production environment, produce elevated floral work, lead event installations, and help raise the standard of execution across the team.

The ideal candidate has significant wedding and event floral experience, strong technical mechanics, excellent speed and consistency, and the ability to execute full-scale designs with minimal direction. This person understands not only how to create beautiful floral work, but how to produce it efficiently, organize it clearly, transport it safely, install it professionally, and troubleshoot it calmly under real event deadlines.

We are looking for someone who can immediately contribute at a high level: designing, leading, improving processes, supporting team standards, and ensuring that every floral piece, ceremony design, centerpiece, personal flower, and installation leaves the studio event-ready and fully aligned with our design expectations.

About the Role

The Senior Wedding Floral Designer & Installation Lead is responsible for producing high-quality wedding and event florals, supporting production flow, leading installations, and helping maintain design consistency across multiple venues.

This role requires someone who is confident creating polished, professional floral work at scale. You should be comfortable designing from recipes, inspiration images, approved client notes, and established company standards while also knowing when to flag concerns, adjust mechanics, improve efficiency, and solve production challenges before they become event-day issues.

This is not an entry-level florist position. This is a senior production and installation role for someone with strong wedding floral experience.

• Execute approved floral recipes, design notes, mood boards, timelines, and production schedules with accuracy and consistency.
• Create full-scale wedding and event designs at a high level with minimal supervision.
• Identify design, product, mechanics, or quality concerns and communicate solutions quickly.

• Maintain a professional, guest-aware presence while working on-site.
• Communicate clearly with the studio team, venue team, and leadership regarding event progress, concerns, changes, and completion.
• Confirm that event spaces are left clean, polished, photo-ready, and fully aligned with the client’s approved design.
• Drive to and from venues in company vehicles on event days.
• Load & Unload Equipment & Florals ensuring safe transportation

Production Standards, Organization & Team Support

• Help improve production flow, organization, cleanliness, labeling, packing, and setup standards.
• Support training, coaching, and quality feedback for junior designers, freelancers, and production support team members.
• Help cultivate a culture of accuracy, speed, cleanliness, accountability, and pride in the finished product.

• Minimum: 5+ years of strong wedding, event, or large-scale floral production experience.
• Strong wedding and event installation experience required.
• Experience leading or directing event setups, installations, or production teams strongly preferred.
• Advanced floral mechanics, including arches, urns, large-scale designs, personal flowers, and transport-safe construction.
• Strong eye for color, balance, proportion, texture, movement, and overall floral composition.
• Ability to design quickly and consistently in a high-volume wedding production environment.
• Ability to follow recipes and standards while also bringing senior-level judgment and problem-solving.
• Strong organization, communication, cleanliness, and time-management skills.
• Calm, solutions-oriented mindset under deadlines and event-day pressure.
• Ability to work independently while also supporting a fast-paced team environment.
• Comfortable standing for extended periods and lifting up to 30–40 lbs.
• Reliable transportation and ability to work across multiple Atlanta-area venues.
• Availability Tuesday–Saturday or Wednesday–Sunday, with a strong emphasis on weekends. Some Mondays, evenings, holidays, extended shifts, and workweeks over 40 hours may be required based on event needs.
