What questions should I ask the florist?

My mom and I are going to see a few florists next week, and I was wondering what questions would be helpful to ask? What did you wish you knew to ask?

It is always helpful to be prepared with questions to ask when choosing your vendors. Here are 11 question ideas for a florist regarding their services, fees&

1. Is there a contract? How are the fees broken down?
2. Are the flowers guaranteed? What are the limitations?
3. Will they deliver if your wedding is on a Sunday or a holiday?
4. How much advanced-notice is required prior to the wedding date?
5. How many consultations are needed? Recommended?
6. Are there additional fees i.e. outside local delivery area?
7. Are there any specialty or additional services that you should be aware of?
8. What are the fees associated with the additional services?
9. For the bride: Do any of the attendants have allergies? Ask your florist which flowers they would recommend?
10. Meanings of certain flowers? (may be helpful for a theme-based wedding)
11. Are there price differences/breaks for certain flowers during certain seasons?

To better assist you at the initial consultation, the florist will want to know your colors, style/theme and budget for flowers.

Hope this helps! Enjoy!
