FLGatorGal88 · May 2012

so the next thing on my list is to find a florist... I have been trying to think of questions to ask besides the basic ones... For those of you who have booked your florist what questions did you ask? TIA

To be Honest I asked the basic questions, but mine was different because they are a family friend who owns the shop.

I know if you choose certain flower out of season they cost more. I would ask for expected drop off time so you can corrdinate with your church or venue. I still need to do this!!!

how many weddings do you do a day/weekend?
can/will you do mock-ups so I can see what it will look like.

Def ask how many weddings they do per weekend. Some flower shops are like machines that turn out a dozen weddings a weekend. Mine only does one wedding per weekend, which I love. As about delivery, set up, and break down. Look at referances online.

Honestly, the biggest thing for me in finding a florist besides budget, was finding one who could take my ideas for my wedding thus far, and translate them into flowers. I had never felt inspired by pictures of flowers I'd seen, but the florist I found took an interest in the wedding as a whole so that the could translate the style into flowers. He wanted to see my dress, shoes, jewelery, venue, bridesmaids dresses, etc.
