No matter how far out your wedding day is, it is important to give your designer the elements you envision for your wedding. You may not have all the details down yet, but in order to receive an accurate pricing quote, a floral designer must have an idea of what you want for the big day. For example: a bridal bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets, boutonnieres, nosegays, corsages, flower crowns, centerpieces, altar decorations, cake flowers and garland.
Come in with a budget in mind. Flowers can be expensive, so it's very important that you have a specific amount in mind that you wish to spend before your initial appointment. Tell your florist what that budget is at the beginning of the consult and which elements are most important. That will give your designer an opportunity to discuss what they can create for you within your budget. A wedding is a beautiful experience and our goal, as floral designers, is to make the bride feel confident and happy on her big day!
