How to book the right florist for you

.

Do your research

Word of mouth is the best way to start your search in all aspects of your wedding. Ask your friends and family for suggestions.

Make sure you are open to suggestions

Getting on with your florist is key to getting the wedding flowers you'll love. Book an initial consultation. You may have in mind what you want, your florist will help this become reality.

Keep talking

Talk to your florist, show them magazine cuttings you've gathered, a picture of your dress and swatches of the colour scheme. Be descriptive!

Money matters

Have a budget in mind. You may have absolutely no idea about the cost of flowers when you intially set your budget so it is a good idea to be flexible about the blooms - flowers in season are often cheaper.

The big decision

Once you have had a initial consultation with your florist and received a quote, then make your decision.
