Flowers will always be an important part of a wedding – but they can also be quite difficult to choose. How do you plan your wedding flowers in a way that yields the best results? We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.
- Same as with everything else in your wedding planning process, it is important to start with an actual budget plan. Like it or not, florals are not cheap – and it is crucial that you know from the very beginning how much you can afford to spend on them.
- Know the basic language. Want to make sure you and your wedding florist communicate well? Try to learn the basics – such as the different names florists use for flowers, colors, and types of arrangements. Nobody expects you to become a specialist overnight, but knowing at least a few things will definitely help.
- Bring your inspiration with you. Don’t shy away from bringing photos and examples of what you like – it will be really helpful for your wedding florist, so that she can create arrangements that are as close as possible to what you want.
- Your wedding season matters. Truth be told, you can find almost every flower under the Sun, any season of the year – but the farther it is from its actual, “natural” season, the more expensive the bloom will be. Settle for flowers that fall in your wedding season and you will save lots of money without sacrificing the beauty of your big day.

Harper Campbell says
Planning my wedding has been a breeze thus far, and I am in the process of choosing my wedding flowers. I like how you pointed out that when it comes to talking to the florist, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to bring photos or examples of what I would like with me; I am not very savvy when it comes to flowers and it would be nice to be able to get them looking like I want. It will be nice to be able to have things looking just the way I would want them to, or as close as possible.

Great point, Harper. We especially like how you said you want your flowers to look “as close as possible” to your inspiration photos. It’s important to trust the professionals you hire. They know what flowers are in season and what works best. If you have chosen something that won’t look good, will put you over-budget or will not be available at that time of year – trust your florist to choose a suitable alternative.

I like that you brought up bringing in pictures and examples of what you like when looking for floral arrangments. This can really help a florist get you exactly what you want out of their service. My sister is getting married next year, and I think taking in examples and pictures of what she wants is a great way to make sure that her wedding is perfect.

“A picture is worth a thousand words”. Most of our clients use Pinterest to organize images that inspire them, but a good florist has the ability to sort through all those photos to discover what a client truly wants. Experienced florists know what works and what does not.

I love that you talked about wedding flowers, it’s my sister’s wedding next month and I’m in charge of finding a florist. I believe that wedding flower is an important aspect of a wedding ceremony so choosing the right ones is very crucial. Better check the portfolio of the florist before deciding, check if their work can meet your expectations and taste.

I like how you said to bring inspiration to your florist. My sister is needing to find a wedding florist in a couple of weeks for her wedding, and she wants to make sure that she does everything right when choosing the flowers she wants. I’ll make sure to pass these tips along to her once she finds a wedding florist to work with!
