How to Choose a Wedding Florist
Choosing a wedding florist is an important decision as the flowers play a crucial role in the overall look and feel of your wedding. Here are some steps to help you choose the right wedding florist:
Do Your Research
Look for florists in your area that specialize in weddings. Read online reviews, check out their websites and social media pages to get an idea of their style & the quality of their work.
Schedule a Consultation
Once you found potential florists, schedule a consultation with each of them. During the consultation, you can discuss your vision, budget, and any other requirements you may have.
Check Their Portfolio
Ask to see photos of the florist's past work, especially their work on weddings that are similar to yours in style and size. This will give you an idea of their expertise and creativity.
Ask About Availability
Make sure the florist is available on your wedding date and can accommodate your needs. Most florists’ calendars are fully booked April-October, so book your florist 7-12 months prior to the date of the wedding.
Discuss Your Floral Budget
Be upfront about your budget and ask the florist what they can offer within your price range. They should be able to provide you with options that fit your budget.
Consider the Florist's Style
Choose a florist whose style aligns with your vision for your wedding. Look for a florist who can create arrangements that are unique and reflect your personal style.
Ask for Recommendations
If you have friends or family members who have recently gotten married, ask them for recommendations. They may be able to recommend a florist they used and loved.
Get Everything in Writing
Once you've chosen a florist, make sure you have a written contract that outlines all of the wedding details, including the type of flowers, delivery times and cost.
