| Below are some ideas and tips for brides and grooms when deciding on a Wedding Florist for your special day. |
If you know what kinds of flowers, bouquets, and arrangements you are interested
in for your wedding, bring pictures to show your florist. A picture is truly worth a
thousand words. Bring that portfolio of your dreams along to your meeting!
Florists can also provide books of bouquets and arrangements to help you decide
what you like best and this also gives the florist a better feel for your personal
tastes.
Also include pictures of the bride and bridesmaids gowns, along with swatches, if
possible. The florist can offer suggestions on styles and flowers, based on
wedding party attire.
Florists can be a great resource for recommending other vendors, such as
officiants, venues, rental equipment, music, photography, and cakes. They are
more than willing to provide resources for you to check out.
Remember, flowers are an important part your wedding and they do create lasting
impressions. Their enchanting effect on your wedding day will live in the memories
of your guests and in your photographs. Therefore, design your budget with these
thoughts in mind.
The actual cost of the flowers is a small part of a florist's business. The florist's
creativity, imagination, enthusiasm, and services are what you should look for
when choosing a florist. The floral business is a labor-intensive business, and the
quality of workmanship is what truly matters.
Florists can, and some, prefer to know your approximate floral budget for your
wedding. A reputable florist would not use this information as a way to make more
money. Rather, the information gives them a better idea of whether or not your
dreams align with your budget. If not, they can offer creative ideas and options to
achieve your desired effect, which you may not have thought of previously.
A florist should meet and/or discuss details with you a minimum of three to four
times before your wedding day. They can provide a sample arrangement (whether
it's a bouquet or a table centerpiece) for you to view and this provides a better
idea of the end-product the florist can provide.
Florists should provide detailed, written proposals for your review and
consideration. Usually, the proposal costs are based on contracting the entire
floral proposal, since florists, many times, discount other items within the proposal
based on the size of the proposal. If you elect to 'opt out' on some items in the
proposal, inform your florist immediately so he/she can update and revise the
proposal, as necessary. Florists, generally, do not provide proposals based on
the number of flowers, but rather on the arrangement and time it takes to create
the desired result.
Until a contract is signed and a deposit is presented, both the couple and the
florist are under no obligation to commit to your wedding date. Selecting a florist
early in your planning and ensuring their business for your wedding day is
important peace of mind. Don't labor over the proposal too long, if you like what
you see, or another bride may take your place on their calendar.
Florists generally require a 50% deposit at contract signing and the balance due
two to three weeks prior to the event. This is a relatively common practice in the
industry. Generally, flowers will not be ordered until the final payment is made.
If you want to have the florist arrange the flowers on the day of the wedding,
instead of dropping them off, discuss and be prepared to pay for additional labor
to do so. Otherwise, assign others to set up the areas to achieve your vision.
Keep them in the loop and be very specific about their roles and responsibilities on
your wedding day.
Florists can also create beautiful fresh flowers for your wedding cake, and will work
with cake decorators, if appropriate. Consider this option in your discussions with
a florist.
A quality florist should be certified in fresh floral designs. Many are also certified in
silk floral designs. Upon request, they can also provide references from previous
weddings and also a portfolio of their work.
When you select a photographer or officiant for your wedding, it's very important to
connect with them on some level. The same goes for your florist - you should like
him/her. Trust your instincts! This is your day and you deserve quality work and
quality service.
