What type of questions should I ask the florists
When you go to meet your florist you can take along snippets from magazines or print outs from online of exactly what you are looking for. Pictures are the most helpful way to help the florist understand the style you would like for your wedding. You may wish to have a colour theme through the wedding so make you take information of your venue, dresses and bridesmaids dresses, the florists will be able to tell you what is and isn’t suitable. Have a budget in mind so that the florist can help to show what you can get for your budget. Remember some flowers are cheaper in different seasons and be open minded to suggestions as the florists are the experts.

Once you are happy make sure you book it up straight away and this can be as far in advance as you like, florists tend to get book up quite quickly especially in the peak summer season so make sure you get your name down asap. You will more than likely need to meet up with the florist again about 2 or 3 months before the wedding to reconfirm the flowers are available and the colours.
