Have you chosen the right wedding florist?

When you realise you’ve got the right wedding florist they answer all these questions.

Have they worked the venue before?

A number of florists will actively display the venues in which they have worked at before. This is because when they work a venue they get a feel for it and are able to customise your designs to make it fit the style of the room which means your glorious wedding flowers will look great. Some florists also link up with venues in order to provide packages which mean if yours is the chosen florist you may end up being able to get a discount. What’s even better about a florist that has a partnership with a venue is that when they go there they will have a rapport with the venues staff and be able to put in special requests that an out of Towner might not be able to do.

Can they cater for multiple venues in one day?

If you are planning to have the ceremony at a church, the reception in one venue and the evening reception in another place this means you are going to require 3 different sets of flowers. Check to see if you can arrange to have them moved by the florist or by a relative on the day. Or if your budget is quite large check with your florist to see if they can supply the flowers for 2 or 3 of the venues which means you will be surrounded by the same theme of your chosen wedding flowers all day long which will make a very happy memory and your photographs will also reflect this effort.

Will they be able to guide me through the whole creation process?

A good florist has experience. This means they will have dealt with many weddings in the past and ultimately have some insider tips – so make them your new best friend. If you get on well with your florist they may well ending up providing a lot of creative inspiration however most will be able to guide you through it in order to get the flowers just right.

What if I change my mind?

A good wedding florist in the north east  understands that the customer is always right, and more importantly how special your big day is so they will want to make it as easy for you as possible.

Many flowers and foliages are now available all year round. This may mean that at certain times of the year they cost more but if you’ve got your heart set on it stretching the budget a little is the least you can do. Flowers that are not in season traditionally either get grown in artificial environments or get flown in from a country where they have a natural climate for growing these. Typical all year round flowers include carnation, gerbera, iris, lily and rose with orchids and birds of paradise being a little more tropical.

Make sure your wedding day is special by choosing a good quality wedding florist. Look out for reputations and experience in being a wedding florist at North East venues. As stated above experience in doing the flowers at the venue you are using is very valuable.
