A good and professional wedding florist will want to know all about your wedding, such as the dress, the venue and the style or theme that you might have chosen, before making any suggestions for the flower arrangements. It is customary to use the same florist for all your flower arrangements to ensure that everything matches and coordinates.

One option for brides and grooms to think about is whether they want fresh flowers or artificial flowers. Two of the main benefits of artificial flowers is that you may wish to keep them after the wedding, and they are very good for anybody in the wedding party who might suffer with hay fever.

Your wedding florist will, of course, help you to choose your flowers for your wedding but it’s good to do some research before finding your florist to narrow down what you want. You need to think of your colour scheme, the style and shape of your bouquet and the type of flowers, such as white lilies or ivory roses. The wedding florist can then ensure that your choice of flower is in season, although many can be grown all year round now.

Be sure to set aside a reasonable budget for your wedding flowers early on in your planning, and you should look to book your wedding florist at least 8-9 months before the wedding, however you should look at booking as far in advance as possible.
