Choosing Your Florist

The floral arrangements designed for your wedding can make or break the entire look of your event.  Not only do flowers offer color, decoration, and a romantic sensation, but they also symbolize a variety of different things…soon to be covered in my next blog!

Flowers can help transform a formally unadorned space into a stunning personality-filled one.  These days, many florists who concentrate in weddings do not just create the bouquet; they apprehend and implement the design of your reception, altar, and centerpieces.

Most brides are often challenged with the question of how to find a florist they can afford and trust, but before you start looking, here are some tips on how to choose the perfect florist:

  1. Before you start looking for a florist start collecting some photos with floral decorations like you vision for your wedding
  2. Discuss your finances and floral budget clearly so you know what you and your florist are working with
  3. Research the reviews of florists in your area and schedule an appointment to meet with them
  4. Ask for recommendations from your wedding planner or married friends

Your Wedding Emergency Toolkit

As I get closer and closer to my first official debut, I thought I would take the time to create an emergency checklist for all of those frantic planners out there!  There is nothing worse than lining up your bridal party right before the processional and having to deal with a button falling off of a jacket, or a piece of hair that fell loose.  I think it’s important to always be prepared for the worst, to save you desperately looking for something at crunch time!
