When planning your wedding, the dress and venue are the first things on your mind. But what about flowers? Flowers play an essential role in any marriage, from bouquets to centerpieces. Many factors go into choosing the best for your big day. You want to make sure they have a team of florists who can create exactly what you want within your budget and timeline. The right florist will be able to guide you through every step of the process and advise which blooms work best for different types of events.
Consider the number of guests.
The number of guests will determine the quantity and style of flowers you need. If you’re having a large wedding with hundreds or even thousands of guests, consider renting fresh-cut flowers from a local florist or purchasing them online. You will also need to think about how much time it takes for your florist to assemble each arrangement and whether or not they have enough staff members on hand at the time of delivery.
It’s always better to err on the side of caution when ordering your wedding flowers because you can always order more if necessary than it is to run out during the ceremony!
Think about the distance from the venue.
The distance between your venue and the flower shop is essential, as it will determine how much time they need to deliver your flowers. You want a florist who can deliver on time and within a tight schedule if necessary. If you’re planning a wedding with many events in one day (like an afternoon reception or evening party), finding a local florist who can work within those parameters may be best.
It’s also worth considering whether or not this flower shop has experience working with weddings: some might have more experience than others, depending on their reputation in the industry and previous clients’ experiences with them.
Prioritize local flowers.
Local flowers are fresher and more beautiful. Freshness is critical for flowers, so you’ll want to ensure that your bouquet has been picked within a few days of the wedding. While you might be used to ordering online or over the phone, local florists can help guide you toward options that will be in season at the time of your wedding (and, therefore, cheaper). You’ll also get an opportunity for face-to-face interaction with someone who knows exactly what they’re talking about!
Local flowers are more affordable than imported ones. In addition to being fresher and prettier than out-of-season options, local flower farms often sell their blooms at lower prices because they don’t have as much overhead as more extensive operations do–which means less money spent on transportation costs for shipping orders across state lines or overseas!
Discover their aesthetic.
In addition to the questions above, you should also ask your potential florist if they have a portfolio of past weddings they’ve done. This will give you an idea of their aesthetic and approach to floral design. It may help you decide which florist is right for you! You can also ask them to show you some recent photos of weddings they have done recently or even just recently. These photos should be similar in style and theme to yours, so there are only a few surprises on your big day!
Another great way to get an idea of what kind of person this person will be working with on your wedding day is by asking them what their favorite flowers are–what do they love most about working with flowers? If this person has been doing this for years as I have, chances are good that we’ll share similar tastes in styles (and maybe even favorite colors.
Make sure they’ll work with you.
When you’re in the market for a flower shop, it’s essential to know that not all of them are created equal. Some will offer more flexibility and customization than others, which is especially helpful if you have specific ideas about what kind of flowers you’d like or if you want to incorporate other elements into your wedding decor.
When choosing a florist, meeting with them in person is always best, so they can advise on how best to use their services. Ask them about their cancellation policy (if there isn’t one, consider looking elsewhere), refund policy (if there isn’t one), payment methods, and any other details that might affect your decision-making process before signing on with this particular company or individual artist/designer.”
When should you order your flowers?
When ordering flowers, we recommend you contact us at least two weeks before your wedding. This will give us enough time to source the best flowers and create a design that perfectly reflects your vision. If this is not possible, or if you are hoping for something more unique than what we can offer, we recommend contacting multiple flower shops for quotes so that they can compete against each other on price and quality.
What kind of flowers are you looking for?
Flowers are one of the essential elements in any wedding. They’re not just there to look pretty; they can also help you achieve your vision for your big day. If you want bold, colorful, soft, romantic, or simply classic flowers, a flower shop specializes in those styles.
Flowers have many different uses at weddings:
- Table centerpieces will make sure everyone is seated comfortably at dinner time! You can ask your florist to create something unique based on your theme or color scheme–or pick up some vases at a thrift store and do it yourself.
- Bouquets make great accents when used as decoration throughout the venue instead of being held by bridesmaids (or other family members). You could also use them as part of an escort card display if you want to avoid everyone looking at their phones all night long trying to find their seats!
What do they specialize in?
When choosing the right flower shop for your wedding, there are many things to consider. The most important thing is that you get precisely what you want, which also means ensuring that the flowers are high-quality and affordable.
The best way to do this is by finding out what services they specialize in. If they have experience with weddings, they can provide everything that goes into making one perfect day (or night).
How much do they charge, and what is included?
Regarding pricing, you want to ensure that the flower shop you choose can provide all the services and products you need while staying within your budget. The best way to do this is by asking them how much they charge for each service and development so you can get an estimate before making a decision.
It would help if you also considered whether or not there are any additional fees associated with their services–such as delivery charges or extra costs for certain types of flowers–and what exactly is included in the price (i.e., do they have setup time?).
Do they offer free delivery and installation?
When planning a wedding, you may wonder if the flower shop offers free delivery and installation. While this is a common question, it’s essential to know that the answer isn’t always yes. Some florists do offer these services, but others charge extra for them.
When asking about delivery and installation fees, make sure you ask what the costs are for both options to compare prices between florists before making your final decision. Also, ensure they provide a discount if they charge extra because sometimes this can add up quickly!
Ask for a sample.
The best way to narrow your search is by asking for samples and references. Ask the florist for a sample of their work, or even better, ask them to send you pictures of previous weddings they’ve done. If you have a budget in mind and need help to afford every flower on their list (it happens), ask them about substitutions and alternatives that will still look beautiful but won’t break the bank. This way, when it comes time to choose an actual florist on your big day–you’ll know precisely what kind of products they offer at what price point!
Another way to make sure everything turns out perfectly? Ask about references! The best way I’ve found is by asking: “Who else has used your services?” You don’t need any more information than that–just knowing there are other happy couples out there gives me peace of mind before signing anything official myself!
