Congratulations! You just got engaged. Time to start planning the wedding of your dreams. “But where do I start, which florist should I go with and how do I even find them?”

These are the most commonly asked questions when brides start to plan their wedding. Don’t worry, I’m here to help!

As a fellow small business owner, I highly recommend searching for a florist that is close to the area you’re getting married. This will promote supporting small businesses and will cut down on any excessive delivery fees.

When determining which florist to work with, take a look at their previous designs. Browse through their social media, their reviews, etc. It’s extremely important to take a look at their design style. For example, if a bride is looking for more whimsical and organic, garden-inspired designs, then going with a traditional florist who primarily does the “roundy moundy” look might not be the best option. You will feel more confident in your florist if you find one that does the style your looking for on a regular basis as well as giving that florist the creative freedom to work their magic.

I hope this helps you get a better idea of how much to set aside in your wedding budget for florals!
