We know meeting your wedding florist can make you feel anxious because you might not know what to expect or what information they need from you.
Let us ease some stress and hopefully give you some clarity.
When you meet with your florist you should have your basic information, date, location, wedding party numbers, possible centerpiece ideas, wedding dress pictures, and a rough estimate of your table numbers.
It’s also a good idea to have a few inspiration photos, flowers, or any color schemes you both like along with you.
Try not to rely on the florist to envision your creation from words alone, the more visual the better.
A lot depends on the location, the number of guests, and how you want your wedding to be remembered. Consider the vitality of the flowers, so that you will have great-looking pieces that won’t wilt over the course of the day.
Your florist will know which will hold up and which are just too delicate. Listen to your florist’s suggestions.
If you did your research and picked a good one, he or she will know from experience how to bring your desires to reality with the best flowers or the perfect hardy substitute.
Don’t Worry! You’ll have time to adjust the final numbers with your florist once RSVPs are received and you have an exact number. This is normal practice.
If you have a budget, make sure to tell them so they can work with you moving forward, be transparent; you’re saving all parties involved time which is invaluable.
Be realistic with your expectation for your vision and your florist will be your best friend giving you all viable options at your disposal.
We hope these gave some comfort in knowing that you do not need every detail finalized.
