Wedding Florist

Things to consider when choosing your Wedding Flowers
By: Wedding Connections

Flowers bring life and beauty to any wedding venue.

Meet with your florist 6 - 9 months before the wedding date. You will need to decide on whether to have fresh flowers, silk, dried, plants, fruits, vegtables or a combination.

During your search for flowers, bring color swatches or pictures of the colors you are planning to incorporate in your color scheme. You may also want to bring photos of the ceremony and reception venue to better assist the florist with assisting you select the perfect floral pieces. Keep in mind that potted plants and trees will enhance any area of need. You may be able to rent them from your florist or local nursery. Ask your florist if they provide floral preservation, if not if they can recommend one, so you can preserve your bridal bouquet for long lasting memories.

It is always best to go with a florist that you had wonderful past experience with or with one that has been highly referred to you by someone one you trust. Ask to view their portfolio, how many wedding they service per day and may you visit during a setup of one of their scheduled weddings.

Ask if a deposit is needed to hold the date, can you receive a price proposal before a deposit is made and when the balance is due.

Check with your selected venues, such as your ceremony and reception site to see if there are any floral/decorating restrictions. Let your florist know what you find out. Ask if the delivery and setup of flowers at the wedding location included in your florist contract. Your florist will more than likely be able to deliver flowers for you and your wedding party for the pre-ceremony photos.

Last but not least, make a schedule of when, where, what to deliver, setup and pick-up, to give to your florist. Make a copy for you and your wedding consultant.

Here’s a list of flower arrangements that your florist can provide.

Bride's Bouquet, Attendants' Bouquets, Groom and Ushers' Boutonnieres, Flower Girl's Basket, Ring Bearer’s Boutonniere, Corsages for mothers, Grandmothers, Flowers for Helpers, Boutonnieres for Fathers, Grandfathers, Decorations for Pews/chairs, Alter, Archway, Candelabras etc., Table Centerpieces, Cake, Cake Table, Gift Table, Guest-Book table and Don’t forget the Throw-a-way Bouquet!
