What questions should you ask of your wedding flower arranger?

 A number of florists will actively display the venues in which they have worked at before. This is because when they work a venue they get a feel for it and are able to customise your designs to make it fit the style of the room which means your glorious wedding flowers will look great. Some florists also link up with venues in order to provide packages which mean if yours is the chosen florist you may end up being able to get a discount. What’s even better about a florist that has a partnership with a venue is that when they go there they will have a rapport with the venues staff and be able to put in special requests that an out of Towner might not be able to do.

Can they cater for multiple venues in one day?

If you are planning to have the ceremony at a church,How do you know you have the perfect flowers arranged for your wedding Articles the reception in one venue and the evening reception in another place this means you are going to require 3 different sets of flowers. Check to see if you can arrange to have them moved by the florist or by a relative on the day. Or if your budget is quite large check with your florist to see if they can supply the flowers for 2 or 3 of the venues which means you will be surrounded by the same theme of your chosen wedding flowers all day long which will make a very happy memory and your photographs will also reflect this effort.

Are they reliable?

This is a big priority, on your special day the last thing you need to worried about is whether the florist is going to turn up.

Do they have other work you can look at?

Most florists will be able to invite you when they are creating other weddings so you can have a look at the process in which they go through to give you a piece of mind for the big day.

How many other weddings do they do on your day?

Do you really want your florist more concerned with someone else’s wedding when they are creating your flowers, after you plan them so well you don’t want the ideal getting lost on the day, ideally they should only book in a few per day but do check if you are having complicated designs.

Will it be the person who you’ve consulted with doing it?

You’ve spent hours with your florist choosing what flowers you want, only to discover, to your horror, that someone else is creating your master pieces. To ensure this doesn’t happen ask your florist.

Get ideas from magazines, friends and family. Start looking at the colours your would like to include and make a collage of images that reflect the time of flowers you would like.

Be practical, there is no point having a huge floral display on the wedding tables if your wedding guests cannot see each other over it.
