The process of selecting a florist for your wedding can be a daunting task and its natural to feel unsure of where to start. You want to choose a florist whose work catches your eye and resonates with your personal style and vision for your wedding day.
Selecting a wedding florist should not be based solely on cost, but rather on the quality of their work, experience and ability to bring your vision to life. Take your time and do your research. Below are five reasons to use a professional wedding florist.
Expertise and Experience
Professional wedding florists have years of experience in designing, arranging, and delivering flowers for weddings. They know the latest trends, styles, and colour schemes that work well together, and can advise you on the best flowers for your venue, colour palette and budget. They can also provide valuable insights on the availability and seasonality of flowers, and suggest alternative options if your preferred blooms are not in season. It’s important to choose someone whose work catches your eye and who’s personality resonates with you.
Quality and Freshness
Wedding flowers are one of the most photographed and admired elements of any wedding, and you want them to look fresh, vibrant, and beautiful throughout your day. A wedding florist can guarantee the quality and freshness of your flowers, as they work directly with reputable growers and suppliers who provide only the best blooms. Wedding flowers require meticulous planning, attention to detail and flawless execution. Wedding florists have the skills and expertise to handle flowers with care, ensuring that they are properly conditioned, hydrated, and arranged to maximise their longevity.
Getting in touch
When contacting potential florists, take the time to write a proper enquiry and be sure to provide all the key details they need to provide an accurate quote, including your wedding date, venue and any specific requests you may have. Don’t just ask for a price list, be open to suggestions and recommendations from your florist and acknowledge any helpful initial information provided by them, even if you decide not to choose them.
Have a Budget in Mind
It’s important to have a budget in mind, but be flexible where you can. Think about your overall vision for your wedding day and what you want to convey through your flowers. Be upfront about your budget and a good florist will take the time to understand your vision and create a bespoke proposal that fits your flowers budget effectively.
Trust is Key
Finally, trust is essential when working with a wedding florist. The reality of using a natural product like flowers on a long day like a wedding can be very different from the perfectly staged images we see on social media. They are experts in their field and can provide valuable advice on what will work best for you to create a wedding that looks and feels amazing.
