Making Sure You Choose the Right Wedding Florist
Making Sure You Choose the Right Wedding Florist
Choosing a wedding florist is not always a decision everyone gives a lot of thought to. Some people might already know a good florist and so they go directly to them, while others will simply pick the nearest one to them, or the first one they see listed in their local telephone directory.
But in reality it's worth spending some time deciding which wedding florist to choose, and there are a number of ways you can use to find the right wedding florist for you.
Ask Friends, Family and Neighbors
Word of mouth is perhaps the best way to find the best wedding florist in your area. Ask everyone you know for a good recommendation. Friends and family will be brutally honest about how a certain florist performed on the day, and this method of finding one will take away a lot of worry that can occur as your big day gets closer. If you know you have chosen a good florist who has done an excellent job for other people you know, you won't have to worry about whether or not they will turn up on time or produce the flowers you really want.
Visit the Florist
Finding a wedding florist you can get along with will make the whole process of choosing and ordering your wedding flowers a lot easier. Ideally you want someone who is open to your ideas and thoughts, and who will listen to what you have to say without stopping you to say something is or isn't possible.
The perfect wedding florist for your needs will also be able to give you advice on how to look after your flowers after they have been delivered to you, and how to keep them looking fresh throughout the whole day. The more experienced a florist is, the better they will be able to serve you, as they will have produced the flowers for lots of weddings before yours, and will have a great deal of knowledge to fall back on.
Don't be afraid to ask how long the florist has been doing their job; as a customer you are entitled to make sure you are entrusting this very important aspect of your wedding to someone who has enough experience to make an excellent job of it.
In short, don't settle for the first wedding florist you find. Make sure you look around at a couple of florists at least before making your decision.
