Wedding Florist
Selecting a great wedding florist is vital to the beauty of your ceremony and reception. Talk to people in your area who have recently had a wedding or know someone who has recently had a wedding. Check out websites and look at the pictures of various florists’ work. If your bouquet is late, your arrangements are wilted, and your corsages and boutonnières are the wrong color, you won’t enjoy your special day quite as much as you should.
A good wedding florist will: Be open to all of your ideas and do her best to match your wishes. They will be able to deliver the flowers at your request. They will provide good advice and alternatives if something you want can’t be worked out. Also, make sure they guarantee fresh and on time flowers.
A contract is always a good idea with wedding florists, as wedding flowers are not cheap and you don’t want to pay for something you don’t get. A good florist should have one of these already drawn up. Also find a good florist that will adhere to your budget.
Before you go to meet your wedding florist (meet in person, don’t discuss details over the phone) have colors and a general idea of what types of flowers you want. It also helps to have your dress picked out, so the florist can match your bouquet with your dress. If possible bring a sample of the fabric of bridesmaid dresses or groomsmen ties.
