10 Questions To Ask Your Wedding Florist

Modern Wedding Posted: May 7, 2019

Flowers add a magical and whimsical touch to any wedding, so it's only natural that you want them to look perfect! To achieve those flawless florals, it's crucial to make sure you are working with the right florist. Ensure you pick the right one by first asking your wedding florist these 10 questions. 

Questions To Ask Your Wedding Florist

Budget...

Once you have set out the budget for your flowers, it's time to discuss it with your florist. Be open with your expectations and what you are happy to spend and see what the florist can do for you. The last thing you want is to select your florals and then find out they are outside your budget!

Experience...

Finding a florist can be done in a variety of ways. Regardless of how you found them, be sure to ask about their experience. This includes looking at their social media pages and website, but also asking questions directly. How long have they been a florist? How many weddings have they done? Have they had any experience with a similar wedding style and theme to yours?

Charlotte and Antonio's Wedding

Examples...

Whether it is through photographs or live examples, it is important to see samples of the florists work. This is to ensure that you love the look of it and that their work will suit your floral vision.

Timeframe...

It is recommended to book your florist around 6 to 8 months before the wedding. If you are wanting something rather extravagant or florals that are out of season, it's best to enquire as early as possible as this may require more time. Be sure to discuss your time frame at your first meeting, as this will determine what is possible and whether you will be able to work together or not.

Schedule...

Enquiring about the florists schedule involves a range of crucial questions. Will you be the only wedding they deliver to that weekend? Will they have time to help you set up or will the florals just be dropped off? This is something that will factor into the overall schedule of your big day.

Extra Fees...

Once you have received your quote, it's important to check the fine print. Will there be any additional fees? What extra costs might be required throughout the process? These might include fees for setting up, breakages or travelling to the venue.

Payment...

Wedding flowers are generally not one of the cheaper areas of wedding planning. Whilst the price may look daunting, it's easy to break it down. Ask your florist about payment options and what will be required at what time. Many florists require an initial deposit, but have different expectations about when the remaining amount will be paid.

Set Up...

When the flowers are delivered, will the florist set them up or will you need to? Will there be assistance? What time will they be delivered? Will you need particular spaces to store them? All important set up questions to ask!

At The End Of Day...

When the wedding is over, you will be left with an array of beautiful blooms. Whilst you can keep these for various other purposes, there may be other objects that need to be returned to the florist such as vases. Be sure to create a plan with your florist so that these are taken care of after the big day.

Insurance...

This is one that is easy to forget. Today, many venues will expect vendors and suppliers to have liability insurance. Check in with both your venue and florist to see what is required. This is a good safety net to have, just in case!
