Flowers and Florists FAQs
Start by considering your wedding theme, colour palette, and the season in which you're getting married. Certain flowers are more readily available at different times of the year, which can impact both availability and cost. You might also want to choose flowers with personal significance or ones that align with your desired aesthetic, such as elegant roses, rustic wildflowers, or tropical blooms. Consulting with a florist can help you select flowers that suit your style and fit your budget.
It’s recommended to book your florist at least 6 to 9 months before your wedding. This ensures that you have plenty of time to discuss your floral vision, finalise the designs, and coordinate with other elements like venue décor and colour schemes. Booking early is especially important if you’re getting married during peak wedding season, as top florists may book up quickly.
To stay within your budget, consider choosing flowers that are in season, as they’re typically more affordable than out-of-season blooms. You can also opt for more greenery and foliage to fill out arrangements while using fewer flowers. Repurposing flowers from the ceremony to the reception is another cost-effective way to maximize your floral budget. Talk to your florist about creative options like using potted plants or smaller, simpler arrangements for centrepieces.
For your florist consultation, bring any inspiration you have, such as photos, color swatches, or a Pinterest board. Be prepared to discuss your wedding theme, venue details, and floral preferences, as well as your budget and any special requests like allergies or preferred flower varieties. This will help your florist understand your vision and work with you to create a cohesive floral plan for your wedding.
