Choosing a florist for your wedding is certainly one of the most important decisions you can make for the event. Because your wedding guests are likely to see the setting for the event before they see you, the flowers you choose can set the tone for the entire day. For example, if your wedding is a very formal affair, traditional flower arrangements in muted tones and elegant styles will convey this to your guests. However, if youre having a relatively informal beach wedding, youll probably want looser, more brightly colored designs. It is your florists job to help you make decisions about your wedding flowers and develop designs that will reflect your personal style and the feeling you want for your special day. Finding the right florist can be a confusing task if youve never had occasion to work with a florist before. Your florist should be someone youre comfortable talking to, whose opinions you trust, and who youd consider continuing to turn to for your floral needs even after the wedding. The Society of American Florists recommends you look for the following in your florist: Find a florist that offers a good mix of products, a high level of service, and the types of designs you find most appealing. To do this, youll want to ask your florist to show you pictures of flowers theyve designed for other weddings and special events. If you dont like what you see, keep looking. Great customer service is key to a good floral experience. Your florist should be willing to spend time with you and get to know what you like and dislike. They should ask plenty of questions and really listen to your answers. They should also offer helpful advice. If you feel rushed or uncomfortable, this wont be the right florist for you. Look for a florist with fresh, good quality flowers. Your florist should carry only the best flowers and floral products. They should offer flower food with all arrangement purchases and be full of advice on floral care. Work only with florists who are part of a professional affiliation, such as FTD, Teleflora, or the Society of American Florists. Choosing the perfect florist may take some time and require a lot of footwork, but proper selection of the florist who best meets your style and needs will make selecting the wedding flowers themselves infinitely easier. The time you spend in searching for a florist will be made up for in the beauty and quality of the flowers for your special day. Just remember, your florist should be friendly and willing to help regardless of whether or not youre a big star like Angelina Jolie. |
