Reasons Why Choosing Your Wedding Florist First Is a Huge Bonus!

Choosing your wedding florist early in the planning process is essential for several reasons. As a top wedding florist, we’ve always emphasized the impact that beautiful, well-planned floral arrangements can have on your entire event. Here’s why it’s wise to make this decision first:

Sets the Style and Tone of Your Wedding

Flowers aren’t just decorations; they create the atmosphere of your wedding. By selecting your florist early, you have a partner to help you define and execute your vision. Whether you want a lush, romantic feel, a modern, minimalist look, or a rustic garden vibe, your florist will help develop a cohesive aesthetic and suggest floral choices that align with it.

Secures Availability for Desired Flowers and Dates

Many flowers are seasonal, and securing your florist early gives them more time to source the blooms you want, especially if you have a specific look in mind that may require special orders. It also ensures that your florist will have time to schedule you in for your wedding date, which is crucial during peak wedding seasons.

Guides Venue and Decor Choices

Florists often play a pivotal role in your venue’s visual layout. Many couples don't realize that floral design can directly influence other décor elements. If your florist knows the layout early, they can suggest complementary design choices like draping, lighting, and rentals to enhance the floral installations and create a cohesive look.

Aligns Budget with Priorities

Florals can be a significant part of the wedding budget. By choosing a florist early, you can discuss options within your budget range and make smart design decisions from the start. This clarity allows you to prioritize floral installations that will have the most visual impact.

Enhances Photography

Your wedding photos will capture the beauty of your arrangements and design elements, lasting long after the day itself. Your florist will consider how floral designs will look in your venue's lighting and can collaborate with your photographer to ensure that key floral elements are strategically placed for optimal photos.

Ensures a Personal Connection

Working with a florist early allows you to build a relationship that helps them truly understand your story and vision. This connection is invaluable for creating arrangements that feel deeply personal and meaningful, from the bridal bouquet to centerpiece arrangements.

Your florist is a key part of your wedding's aesthetic, and choosing them early allows for a more thoughtfully planned, visually stunning celebration that reflects your style in every bloom.
