Wedding Flowers

Planning your wedding flowers should be a priority. A reputable florist tends to book two years in advance, so as soon as you set a date and choose a venue, start looking for a florist to plan your floral landscape for your beautiful day.

• Selecting your color palette and theme is the first thing to decide. Pinterest boards are wonderful to share with your florist. It helps them to see the vision you are gravitating to.

• Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The more questions you ask, the more likely you will find a florist you can have a positive relationship with.

• Ask for a free wedding consultation before you make any firm commitments. This helps you discover if you are on the same page for your special day.

• Selecting a floral statement piece often has more impact than thinly spread decorations.

• Your wedding flowers should always enhance your dress and never overshadow it.

• From the start of the process, discuss your wedding flower budget so that the florist can help you optimize it. And the florist will clearly show you the exquisite results and attention to detail you’ll get for your investment.

• Be flexible. Flexibility will help brides meet their budget requirements.

More than anything else, the most important thing is that you have fun and enjoy this special time!
