  2. Will you provide me with an itemized list of all the elements we’ve discussed, along with prices?

  3. When can I expect to receive my contract from you?

Useful Tips:

  • Prior to meeting with potential floral designers, have your color scheme finalized; create a list of the kinds of flowers you like; and have some examples (photos or pictures from magazines) of the kind of bouquets and arrangements that appeal to you.

  • After you’ve met with each floral designer ask yourself, “Did the florist answer all my questions to my satisfaction?” “Do I feel like the florist really listened and understood my vision?” “Am I comfortable with this person?”

  • Once you’ve booked your floral designer you’ll want to provide them with a picture of your dress and swatches or photos of the bridesmaid’s dresses and the linens you’ll be using.
