You are engaged and are looking to get all of your vendors lined up. You haven’t picked a venue, a dress, how many attendants or even your colors. This is not the time to call the florist. But when is the right time? Most event florist can throw together a huge wedding in a few weeks. The only issue you will have is making sure your favorite one isn’t booked.

Most florists want you to come to a consultation with the following pieces of information:

• Your venue/location

• Your aesthetic and vision for your wedding

• Your BUDGET!

  Budgets can be scary. Every good flower designer can guide you on how to make the most of your flower budget. Florist will help you understand how much money will be needed to make your vision come alive. Budgets are so personal. Most florist will have a minimum spend and you can find one that fits yours.

Most florist book a year to eighteen months out. As the rush of weddings slows down from the past two years, many florist won’t be booked that far ahead. You will want to view the designs of the florists available. This will help you choose a florist who’s style is one that you love. Most event florist will travel long distances. Don’t assume that you have to use a florist close to your venue.

The florist you choose should make you feel happy, joyful and supported on your wedding journey. The florist you select should make you feel comfortable discussing budgets, timelines and idea changes. Never choose a florist based on price alone. You should truly enjoy the process of selecting your beautiful florals for your day.
