I have a few tips for this question…hopefully they are helpful!
Consider the style of your wedding, look for a florist that has a signature style that is what you are looking for. Best way to know this is by looking at their instagram accounts for current photos. All florists can adapt their natural style but I would suggest looking for one that aligns with your vision.
Location is important…I would suggest having a florist that is no more than 2 hours away from your venue. You don’t need a florist that is on the door step though!
Book in an introductory call to start the ball rolling. You need to book a florist that you trust and that you can see yourself getting on with over the coming months.
Share your vision with potential florists. It’s always a great idea to send over a few photos for inspiration so that a florist can use this as a starting point to make suggestions. At Foxy Buds we will add more inspiration in of course and if you are starting with a blank canvas that is no problem either. At Foxy Buds we are used to working with clients that require styling advice and those couples that have a very clear vision.
If you are hiring a wedding planner still have that introductory call with a florist it hugely helps us florists gain a glimpse of your personalities that we can emulate in the floral designs. It’s nice to have a bit of character in the floral arrangements.
