How To Plan A Wedding Affordably

Wedding flowers are a crucial part of the wedding. If they are done poorly then they ruin the look of your wedding. When they are done right it helps create a stunning look of beauty. This is why hiring the right florist is necessary (Unless you are doing your own arrangements).

So, how do you choose the right florist? Here is how you can avoid wasting your time, money, and get the best job done.

1.Does The Pictures Match Their Work?

Its important for you to see some actual arrangements. Many can show you pictures, but that doesn’t always mean much. The pictures can be enhanced and they may not even be their pictures. Have them show you some arrangements that they are currently working on. You particularly want to see the arrangements of the florist who would be doing your arrangements. This will give you a better idea of what their work is like.

2.Does Their Style Match Yours?

This is a very important part of selecting the right florist. Every florist has a different style. Does their style match the type of arrangements you would like? Just because a florist is really good doesn’t mean they can create the type of arrangements you like. In the end you need to like it. It’s your wedding and your money.

3.Have Them Explain The Pricing

When you get a quote have the florist explain where that price is coming from. Have them break things down for you. If the cost is high have them make some changes to the arrangement. Don’t assume that they can’t do it for cheaper if you like their designs. They might be able to swap a certain flower with something that is cheaper and still get a similar look.

4.Let The Florist Know Your On A Budget

Cost is a big concern for many couples. Let the florist know ahead of time that you are on a budget. Tell them that you can only spend x…… amount on wedding flowers. Show them some arrangements you like and ask them what it would cost for them to do those arrangements. You might not be able to afford the exact arrangement you want but a good florist will try to make things work within your budget.

5.Know What Colors You Want In Your Wedding

A good florist can help out with the overall coloring and and decorating with your wedding. Many of them can give you some very valuable suggestions. I recommend that you have a good idea of how you want your wedding to look and what colors you want to stand out for the wedding. Make sure that you already have your ceremony and reception venues selected. It’s even a good idea to take pictures of the rooms and show them to the florist. This allows her to easily come up with proper designs.

6.Find Out How Many Weddings They Have To Work

Ideally you want to hire a florist who isn’t over worked. For example, you don’t want to hire a florist who is doing 5 weddings on the week of your wedding unless they have the employees to handle that work load. Make sure that do find out how many weddings they have the week of your wedding and how much work they will take on at one time.

7.Discuss Delivery And Setup

Be aware that it can cost extra for setup and delivery. Make sure that everything is scheduled ahead of time. Let them know at what time you want everything setup. This is straightforward but it is easy to mess up communication.
