As you embark on the beautiful journey of planning your wedding day, one of the most enchanting aspects to consider is undoubtedly your wedding flowers. They have the power to transform your venue into a fragrant, fairy-tale setting, adding an extra layer of romance and charm to your special day. To help you select the perfect floral artist to bring your dreams to life I  have crafted a  guide on how to choose your wedding florist (because I am obsessed with flowers at weddings).

• Begin with Inspiration

Every couple  has a unique vision for their  wedding day, and it all starts with inspiration. Start by gathering ideas from magazines, websites, or even your own garden. Create a mood board filled with colours, textures, and styles that resonate with your heart. This is the canvas upon which your chosen florist will work their magic. Extra tip: If you have a planner or stylist on board then this is something they will help you with.

• Research and Refine

Once you have a clearer vision of your floral desires, it's time to dive into the world of wedding florists. Research online, ask for recommendations from friends and family, and explore their portfolios. Look for a florist whose style harmonises with your vision, someone who speaks the language of your heart through their arrangements. Extra tip: This step is key - find the style you love first and foremost, don’t go searching for a florist who you then want to imitate another florists’ work. Creatives do best when we can follow our true style.

• The Consultation: A Blooming Connection

A consultation with your prospective florist is an opportunity to cultivate a blossoming connection. Approach it as a beautiful conversation, where you share your ideas and listen to theirs with an open heart. A skilled florist will not only bring your vision to life but also offer insights and suggestions that enhance your floral dreams.

• Consider Your Budget

Softly, but importantly, consider your budget. A talented wedding florist understands the delicate balance between dreams and reality. They will work closely with you to create a floral design that is both breathtaking and within your means. Trust them to create beauty that fits your financial comfort zone. Extra tip: Ask for their minimum spend before booking in a consultation.

• Blooms that Speak to Your Soul

Choosing flowers that resonate with your heart can be an emotional journey. Listen to the whispers of your soul as you select blooms that hold special meaning for you and your partner. Whether it's your grandmother's favourite rose or the wildflowers you discovered on your first date, incorporating personal touches will infuse your wedding day with deep sentiment.

• Attention to Detail

In the world of wedding floristry, it's the subtle details that make all the difference. Pay attention to the florist's commitment to detail, from the quality of blooms to the presentation of each arrangement. A delicate touch can elevate your wedding from ordinary to extraordinary.

• Availability and Reliability

Wedding planning can be a whirlwind of emotions, and you deserve a florist who is a steady anchor in the storm. Ensure your chosen florist is available on your wedding date and is reliable when it comes to deliveries and set-up. This peace of mind allows you to focus on the beauty of your day.

• Trust Your Instincts

In matters of the heart, intuition often leads the way. Trust your instincts when selecting your wedding florist. If you feel a warm connection and a sense of trust during your consultations, it's a sign that you're on the right path to creating the wedding day of your dreams.

Conclusion

Choosing your wedding florist is a delicate journey filled with beauty and grace. With inspiration as your guide and a heart open to connection, you'll discover the perfect floral artist to paint your wedding day in the soft and beautiful hues of your dreams. Remember, it's not just about flowers; it's about creating a timeless tapestry of love and beauty that will be etched in your hearts forever.
