Giving your florist creative freedom!

You’re getting married!  Congratulations!  You now have so many decisions to make when planning for your big day.  It can get overwhelming and stressful.  But ensuring you have beautiful, uniquely “you” wedding flowers doesn’t have to be stressful at all.  Giving creative freedom to your florist is the answer!

When picking a wedding florist, determine if their overall design style and vision is what you want for your wedding flowers.  Since you already love their style, giving them creative freedom will be much easier because you’re already impressed by their floral creations.

What florists want our clients to know

You really don’t need to know the exact details, numbers, or even arrangements you’ll need…the most important thing is to just get your florist booked for your wedding!
The details can come later!

Majority of my weddings have adjustments made up to a month before the wedding date. Changes happen and most of us florists are more than willing to be accommodating to those changes.
(as long as it's within a reasonable timeframe)
