Choosing a Florist

It will be really rare for you to walk into a florist shop and have them tell you that they don't do Wedding Flowers! However keep these things in mind when you look for a florist.

Do you already like their shop and their website? If not you won't like their flowers.

Look at the pictures that they advertise with, and if they aren't great it's not a good sign. Remember that these should be their best, andif they aren't then the flowers they offer you will usually be the same!

Are they willing to talk to you straight away?- I work in a wedding decoration store and am usually booked with brides all weekend.However we make it a point to have a chat to all Brides that come in the door! They should be friendly and happy to see you.Remember that you are paying them for their service.

Be wary if they tell you 'no you can't do that'. Remember that this is your wedding and you should choose what you would like, butunderstand that they are the expert. What I mean by this point is last September I did some flowers for a lovely Bride! She was a dream to work with, and when she first came to see me she was stressed to the stage that her skin was giving her severe breakouts! After chatting to her for awhile I found out that she had been to two florists before me who had told her that what she wanted wouldn't look any good! (her pictures are attached with this blog) Her idea was simple and they would look great, but the florist had other ideas! Remember that this is your wedding, - someone you are paying should work with you and see the vision for your dream day, not re-create theirs!

Remember that if the florist tells you they can't get the flowers at that time of year, 9/10 times they are telling the truth.
