Ask to see a lot of pictures of actual work they have done. That will give you an idea of how their arrangements look completed. If you know your color scheme/flower types, then see what ideas they give you for centerpieces. If you don't know what you want, see how creative they are. Ask if they will make you a sample before your wedding for no charge. Ask for references and call them to see how well the flowers held up during the day. Good Luck!
Also, I don't know who you're meeting with -but definitely give Flower Michele a call for an appt - they are amazing!

Florist usually walk you through everything. I found that I didn't have to ask much. Here are some things that I wanted to know:
Pew bows for ceremony. Flowers for special aunts, uncles, readers, grandparents. Flower petals for Flower girls. We are having bouquets sent to our Mom's the day of the wedding.
Good luck and have fun. I really enjoyed this part!
