What do wedding florists do?

A wedding florist doesn't merely show up on the day of your wedding and start arranging flowers; frequently, the creative process begins much earlier. The entire flower-design process for a wedding can, on average, take longer than six days.

Creativity process

The couple will initially get in touch with the florist for a talk and discussion, which will eventually lead to a more thorough consultation. The wedding florists will provide a prompt sheet or questionnaire to the couple to help them decide what is essential to them in terms of flowers if they need some assistance in distinguishing between what they truly want and what they believe they should have.

Planning commences

Once sufficient details have been acquired, the florist departs and composes a document of ideas and thoughts that includes any images that the couple has brought together as inspiration for their wedding and adds to these ideas and adds the kinds of flowers that may be used and where.

The wedding florist is finalized

There is usually a plan B because flowers are impacted by the weather, occasionally crops fail, and sometimes varieties are no longer farmed. If the couple decides to proceed, extra planning is done to guarantee that all the raw materials come together at the precise correct time. Always have a backup plan, just in case, and the wedding florists are ultimately responsible for making sure this is done.

The florist must speak with the couple at least a month before the wedding to make sure nothing needs to be adjusted because plans can occasionally alter. The necessary flowers and greenery are then ordered.

The wedding week

The florist then receives the flowers and foliage at least four days before the wedding. As soon as they arrive, a careful inspection of the product's quality is conducted, and they are rehydrated. The stems will then be recut by the florist and placed in fresh buckets of water and a rehydrating solution.
