How to Select Your Wedding Florist – A Guide to Finding the Perfect Fit
First off—congratulations! 💍✨ If you’re reading this, chances are you’re in the exciting (and slightly overwhelming) process of planning your wedding, and we couldn’t be happier for you!
Now, we may be a little biased (okay, a lot biased) since wedding flowers are what we do—but we also know firsthand how tough it can be to choose the right florist. With so many styles, price points, and personalities out there, figuring out who will bring your floral vision to life can feel like a big decision.
That’s why we’re here to help! Below, we’re sharing the most important things to consider when choosing your wedding florist, plus a little insight into how we do things at Black Eyed Susan’s to make the process as smooth, flexible, and stress-free as possible.
1. Find a Florist Who Understands Your Vision
Your wedding flowers should reflect you—whether that’s lush and romantic, modern and minimalistic, or full of bold, unexpected blooms. A good florist will take the time to understand your style, look at your inspiration photos, and make thoughtful recommendations based on your venue, season, and aesthetic.
2. Request an Estimate Before Committing
Wedding flowers can range from simple elegance to show-stopping installations, and pricing varies accordingly. A great florist will provide a detailed estimate upfront so you can be sure you’re aligned on budget before moving forward.
3. See Their Work Before You Book
Flowers are an art form, and every florist has a different style. If possible, see a sample arrangement before putting down a deposit. This ensures you and your florist are speaking the same design language—after all, “boho chic” can mean very different things to different people!
4. Look for Flexibility & Great Communication
Wedding planning is full of moving parts, and your floral needs might change. A good florist should be responsive, adaptable, and willing to adjust as your plans evolve.
5. Find a Full-Service Florist if You Want a Seamless Experience
Not all florists offer full-service setups. If you want everything from bouquets to large-scale installations—and someone to handle setup and breakdown— look for a florist who does it all so you don’t have to stress about logistics on your big day.
