Foraging for a florist? Get the best blooms for your budget with these tricks and tips from the experts.

Five things to consider before booking your florist… What’s your budget?

This is one of the most important things you should try and pinpoint before talking to your florist. Most florists are more than happy to work within any budget, but this will help them know what they have to work with from the get-go.

Research different florists

Just like photographers, most florists will have their own unique style and taste. Do a bit of research on different florists and their styles through their website or Instagram, or request to see their portfolio. This will help ensure you’ll be happy with your florals come wedding day.

What ideas do you have?

Do you have a theme, colour palette or style in mind for your day yet? All these elements can help your florist create blooms that work cohesively with the rest of your wedding day styling. Come equipped with any pictures or Pinterest ideas that you love.

Is your wedding date available?

While this may seem like an obvious thing to consider, florists can be booked up to a year in advance, so if you have someone in mind, it’s best to bite the bullet and book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment later on.

Has the florist worked at your venue before?

While definitely not a deal-breaker, if a florist is familiar with your wedding venue, they’ll have a better idea of what will work and look great in the space.
