Do ’ s and Don ’ ts for Wedding Florals
1 . DO come to your consultation prepared with an idea of your wedding party numbers , ceremony and reception decorations , and photo inspiration of your dream florals . Pinterest Boards are a great place to start !
2 . DON ’ T worry if you don ’ t know exactly what type of flowers you want . Your florist will be able to suggest seasonal blooms that will work well with your overall colour pallete and style of wedding .
3 . DO remember your guests when deciding on centrepieces / table arrangements . Ensure that your guests ’ view of the wedding party , and across the table to other guests , is not obstructed by florals . Let your florist know the size of your tables and discuss measurements with them to allow room for everything else that will be on the table .
4 . DON ’ T be afraid to talk budget in your initial consultation , it is important for your florist to know if you have a budget in mind . This will allow them to source the best options for you and be able to suggest different florals and foliage that will fit within your budget and compliment your style .
5 . DO remember to have fun ! This is your special day and your florists want to help make your vision come to life !
