Tips for Finding your Perfect Florist

Ready to bloom your wedding vision into reality? Whether you're dreaming of a minimalist chic affair or a boho botanical extravaganza, finding the perfect florist is key. Check out our top tips below to ensure your floral dreams come to fruition!


Get Social: Start your search by browsing Instagram and Pinterest for floral inspiration. Follow local florists and wedding accounts to discover trendy floral designs and find potential florists to consider.


Crowdsource Recommendations: Turn to your online community for recommendations. Post on social media asking for florist recommendations or join wedding planning groups to get advice from other engaged couples.


Slide into DMs: Once you've found a few florists you like, don't hesitate to slide into their DMs to inquire about their services and availability. Many florists are active on social media and happy to chat with potential clients.


Virtual Consultations FTW: Schedule virtual consultations with your top florist picks. Use video chat to discuss your vision, share inspiration photos, and get a feel for the florist's vibe and personality without leaving your couch.


DIY Flower Parties: Host a DIY flower party with your bridal party or family members to create sample arrangements using flowers from local markets or grocery stores. This can help you visualize your wedding florals and narrow down your choices.


Price Shop Like a Pro: Get transparent pricing upfront by requesting quotes from multiple florists. Compare prices for similar floral arrangements and services to ensure you're getting the best value for your budget.


Check the 'Gram for Reviews: Don't forget to check the florist's Instagram for reviews and testimonials from past clients. Look for tagged photos of real weddings to see how the florist's designs look in action.


Embrace Eco-Friendly Options: Show your commitment to sustainability by choosing a florist who offers eco-friendly floral options, such as locally sourced blooms, foam-free arrangements, and reusable containers.


Book in a Snap: Once you've found the perfect florist who shares your vision and vibe, don't wait to secure their services. Lock in your wedding date with a deposit to ensure they're available to bring your floral dreams to life.
