Are you getting married soon?
As soon as you start planning your wedding, you’ll notice that it can get overwhelming with all the aspects to manage. After all, you have to look for appropriate venues and do your research, choose the date, and hire vendors for the big day.
So what makes a good wedding florist? Now that you’re getting married (congratulations!), here are some factors to look out for.
Are You Available on My Wedding Date?
The question of whether or not a florist is available for your wedding date should always be at the top of the list when choosing a wedding florist. A florist’s calendar can fill up quickly, especially in the wedding season, so it is important to carefully determine who you are selecting and make sure they are available on your special day.
Being upfront with your date can help the florist better prepare their schedule and resources ahead of time. Do not be afraid to ask if they would need to outsource any additional floral items and how long in advance they would need to order them.
How Long Have You Been in Business?
Choosing the right wedding florist is a big decision, and one of the most important questions you should ask is, “How long have you been in business?” The florist you choose should have a long and successful history of creating custom floral designs for weddings and other special events.
A florist with extensive experiences, such as several decades in the business, will be more knowledgeable and can better accommodate your budget and needs. Knowing that your florist has the skill, artistic ability, and commitment to customer service will give you peace of mind and the confidence that you have chosen the perfect florist for your special day.
Can I See a Portfolio of Your Work?
A portfolio can serve as a great way to get a good indication of the quality of their floral designs, as well as the styles and colors they specialize in. It is an excellent resource when it comes to making a decision, as it allows you to see firsthand the quality of the florist’s work.
To get the most out of this question, be sure to ask to see pictures of the florist’s finished products from past events. This will give you a good idea of what you may be able to expect from the florist on your own wedding day.
Which Flowers Do You Recommend?
When selecting a wedding florist, there are specific questions to ask in order to best understand the florist’s ability to meet the color scheme, vision, and budget. A great starting point is to ask the florist what they recommend for picture perfect wedding flowers, given the colors, vision, and budget.
This question not only allows the florist to provide insight into their particular design style and give recommendations based on what’s available seasonally but also provides an understanding of how well the florist understands the budget and their style of incorporating the colors.
