Our First Florist Appt

FH and I have our first florist appointment on Saturday. This will be our first vendor appointment for the wedding. Does anyone have any advice? What questions did you ask? How many florists did you visit?

I've been so busy with work that I haven't had a lot of time to wedding plan. I feel like I'm going into this appointment blind. One of my BMs asked me what I was thinking/wanted for the flowers and I couldn't answer. I have NO idea.

I havent been to the florist yet, I have 2 appts on the 17th. But I dont think you will need to know exactly what u want or what flowers. I think u should just know maybe the colors ofvyour wedding so they can give u ideas. I also made a list of what I will need.

I just had my apt sat so he asked what I wanted I had no idea only what colors. He showed me so much stuff that u will fall in love with.

My florist any flowers are included so let them take u around there showroom to get ideas you won't need to get technical until next year

And helped a lot.

I would obviously ask for prices per flower, and if certain flowers (if you have certain ones in mind) are more if not in season. I would also ask about delivery and set up fees because these can get pricey!

I only met with B*urtons, but they don't charge per flower choice, it's one price for any flowers you want in season.

HTH and remember to have fun with it!!
