Things to Remember When Hiring a Florist

Color, fragrance, shape - three key components to choosing flowers for your wedding.

Choosing the florist to provide and arrange those flowers is, perhaps, the fourth key component!

Here are some important considerations as you look to hire a florist:

Florists often have a signature style: romantic, modern, minimalist, traditional, boho, to name a few. Their social media pages and website should give you a good idea of what their eye favors and how you can expect their experience to translate to your vision. What’s important here is that they can bring your vision to life… not just recreate something that’s already been done! You want a florist who listens to your opinion and responds positively to your ideas.

Before hiring a florist, you need to know what service you’re looking for.

Do you just want flowers done professionally for bouquets in the ceremony?
Do you want them to take care of centerpieces and other arrangements?
What does the florist offer in terms of service? Delivery, setup, and breakdown may be priced separately, or they may offer a full service package. You need to know if they rent vases, arches, or other decorative items.
