*9 Tips for Finding your Wedding Florist*
Planning a wedding can feel like one big learning process. Lots of unknowns, decisions to be made, and never-ending vendor searches. So I put together some tips for those newly engaged to help you navigate your search for a wedding florist (but generally these can apply to other vendors too!)
1 - Do your homework: Evaluate a few different designers. There's no shortage of talent and each designer has a unique set of offerings. Ask for referrals from your venue, planner, and friends. Look at designers’ work and read their reviews. Know what’s important to you in the evaluation process, whether it be aesthetic, testimonials, or communication style. Feeling aligned with your designer will make the process of working together and the end result that much more rewarding.
2 - Run the numbers: On average, florals account for 10% of the overall wedding budget. Cost factors can include guest count, location, date, and size of bridal party. Be realistic and know what you’re comfortable spending, then tailor your search with numbers in mind.
3 - Determine your dislikes: This seems counterintuitive, but when you’re unsure of where to begin when explaining your vision, knowing what you DON’T like can be a great starting point. Ruling things out will bring you closer to figuring out what it is you DO like.
4 - Trust the process: Small details are sorted out later in the planning process. But by creating a team of vendors early in the process that you feel truly aligned with and giving them your full trust, you can rest assured your dream wedding will come to life.
