Flowers For Your Wedding - What To Look For In A Good Florist

Here's some quick essential tips on what to look for when finding a florist for your wedding. Ask friends, family, and colleagues if they have used a florist and can recommend them. Word of mouth is often better than looking at an advertisement. Find out if they are qualified and have a back-up guarantee on their work. Visit the shop - see if their flowers look fresh and if they have a wide range of flowers to choose from. Don't forget to ask as well - they may have more out the back. Ask to see a portfolio of weddings they have done before and prices, so you will know what to expect for what you see.

There may be package deals available as well.

Check to see if they make only traditional bouquets, or if they are willing to make or suggest something different if required.

Ask about delivery, set-up times and any associated costs that may not be included up front. Ask if you are required to do anything to make sure plans run smoothly on the day - there may be a price reduction if you have the time to spare and be involved.

When you have decided what you want and are clear on all costs involved, ask to have it written down in a contract that is signed by both of you. This is your guarantee as in all your wedding arrangements - should something go horribly wrong
