| Flowers are an element of weddings,
so how do you go about finding just the right florist? Bouquets
and flowers are such a traditional part of the wedding
ceremony because of how well they express joy and celebration.
Needless to say, it is essential to find a florist whose work
you love and who understands your desires. Ask for recommendations
from your caterer, wedding
coordinators, or from other newlyweds. Set up an introductory
meeting with a few different florists to view samples of their
work and photographs of previous weddings. Pay particular attention
to the florist’s style. For those who want a tailored, formal
look, arrangements overflowing with wildflowers will seem incompatible
You can bring along pictures from books or magazines illustrating
your ideas, because demonstrating exactly what you like will
help the florist more closely tune his work to your taste.
Prices vary dramatically among flower vendors, so choose someone
who can accommodate both your vision and your wedding budget
planner. After the introductory meeting, a florist will usually
follow up with a proposal. It is perfectly appropriate to fine-tune
the plan. Choosing a florist with plenty of wedding experience
makes a great difference in the success of your wedding, because
he will know to ask you about smaller details, such as if you
want flowers included in your wedding
cake designs, or petals for your flower girl to toss.
