Planning a wedding is never easy, and some aspects tend to be more challenging than others—like choosing a wedding dress, finding a wedding planner, selecting a venue, and looking up local flower shops. Weddings require the services of a high-quality florist. You can search for local flower shops online and request for an estimate to determine the prices of their flowers and other services that may come with it. You should also consider the following when selecting a florist:
- Look for a complete ‘floral design’ service: The best arrangements match your theme and also suits the occasion. Look for a flower shop or a florist capable of creating high-quality flower arrangements made with your specific requirements in mind. Floral designers are artists, and their services are not merely limited to designing flower arrangements. They can help match the right flowers and set them up in your venue, too.
- Review their catalog of floral designs: A flower shop must provide a catalog of their floral designs. Use that for reference or inspiration when determining the best type of floral arrangement for your wedding. You should be able to see the different types and colors of flowers that the florist can procure for your floral arrangement, too.
- Look at their previous designs: This is a good way to determine the quality of their products and creations. Reputable flower shops with websites usually have a gallery of their previous projects, but you also have the option to visit their actual flower shop to see their arrangements in person, too. While you are at it, consider asking for references and contact their previous clients to learn about their experience in working with that flower shop.
- You might save money with wedding packages: If you are on a budget and do not have any specific type of floral arrangement in mind, ask the florist what their cheapest package is. Many local florists can adjust their plans to suit your budget without compromising the quality of their arrangements.
- Can they supply all the necessary flowers for your wedding?: Local flower shops should be able to make not just the centerpieces or flower bouquets for the church—they should also provide the bridal bouquet, the corsages, flowers for the bridesmaids, maid of honor, and flower girls, and small floral arrangements for tables and even restrooms. Some florists can provide ornaments and candles that go with the flowers, too.
