What’s Covered in a Wedding Florist’s Prices?

Although wedding florists have different pricing and packages, here’s what you can expect when you hire your wedding florist.

Consultation

To get an idea of your style, your wedding florist should set up a consultation to discuss your vision for your wedding. Your venue, color palette, season, and personality will help your florist create a proposal that describes the arrangements they’ll create as well as the prices. During your consultation, make sure to be up-front with your florist about your budget. Although you should feel free to give guidelines, feel free to give the florist creative license to select the blooms that make the most sense based on your bottom line, style, and palette.

Sending Samples

Once you sign on the dotted line, make sure to ask your florist to provide sample arrangements. Otherwise, you may end up with unexpected mistakes on your special day.

Flower Ordering

A large part of your budget and the florist’s time will be spent hand selecting, ordering, and purchasing your flowers from their local grower or wholesaler.

Perfecting and Storage

Your florist’s job doesn’t stop after they order the flowers. Once the blooms arrive at their floral shop, your florist will work on perfecting your flowers by taking thorns off of roses, trimming unsightly petals, and creating beautiful arrangements. After they look in tip-top shape, your florist will store them in a refrigerated space to keep them fresh all the way up until your wedding day.

Delivery and Set Up

When your big day finally arrives, your florist will deliver and set up your flower arrangements at your venue, so you can spend more time getting pampered. They’ll make sure that your bouquets, boutineers, alters, and table arrangements lool Instagram-worthy.
