make suggestions.

do before meeting with a florist?
Understand the types and styles of bouquets and flowers you like. Start a
board on pinterest just for your wedding flowers. Bouquets, boutonnieres,
corsages, ceremony flowers and centerpiece are all good choices to research and
pin. Most florist would love for you to share your board with them, so they can share your vision
and understand the styles and flowers you are interested in.

Florist equal?

look to see if they have their own designs displayed and how relevant their
pictures are to your style of wedding. Many will have blogs, pinterest boards, instagram and facebook pages. Visiting these as well.

I expect to pay for my wedding flowers?
Normal floral budget for weddings is usually around 10 to 15 percent on
your total budget. Wedding wire has a
tool to help with all aspics of budgeting your wedding. Wedding Wire budget creator
Flowers cost can vary by lux type flowers to a less expensive
alternative. So if you are not set on peonies or orchids have your florist
suggest a replacement flower that can give you same look and feel at a fraction
of the cost.
Be up front with your florist. Let them know what budget you are working
with so they can help you with your vision. Be realistic from the start don’t meet
them with $5000.00 expectations and a $1500.00 budget.

bring to the consultation?
Inspirational boards, pictures, fabric, swatches, are always wonderful to
bring to the consultation. You may bring up to
two people with you. The groom and your mother are excellent choices. Children
can be a big distraction so please find a sitter.
