Wedding Flowers

January is a busy month for us in the flower shop to meet with brides. Here are a few tips for brides regarding their wedding flowers. Most important is to set a budget. Where is it most important for you to have flowers. Make a list of who is getting flowers and where you want to put arrangements.Cut out pictures of bouquets/arrangements you like AND ones you don't like (this helps give the designer a feel for YOUR style). If you have found something you love and think it's out of your budget, ask the designer for a less expensive similar flower or a smaller version to get the look you want. Before you leave your consultation be sure to ask how you reserve your date, deposits, delivery and set up.If delivery and set up is required, who will be on site, a delivery person or a designer to insure a smooth event. Lastly, find out how many events the shop will be doing that day, will you be comfortable with being one of two or three events??
