How to Prepare for a Wedding Consultation

It's that time of year again where brides call and come in to talk about their   wedding flowers. I thought I'd post a quick guideline of items to bring to your   floral appointment. An organized bride who has given some thought to her floral   desires before coming in will have a much more roductive meeting than one who   has not taken the time to give it some thought!
Item #1 -  Bring a list of the florals that you will  need.  Nothing is worse than a bride who answers the question "how many brides  maids do  you have?" by counting them on her fingers!
Item #2 -  Pictures of both bridal gown and brides maids   dresses. The more we can get a feel for your style, the better.
Items #3 -  Floral inspiration pictures. This is really a   must. Collect pictures of flowers that show your style. A picture is truly  worth  a thousand words and most brides do not know the name of many flowers.  What  better way to show the texture, color, style and size of each flower  element  than showing us pictures. I highly recommend TheKnot.com and other  sources for  finding great, real wedding photos. Most online sources even let  you search by  color and season! Our own website has page after page of our real  brides to look  at. Back in my day all we had were magazines. Brides today have  so many ways to  find great photos.  Also, if there are flowers or styles you don't   really care for, photos of them as a "Don't" are helpful also. Remember, we are   trying to get into your head, as quickly and efficiently as possible during  your  consultation. Anything you can do to help us get there fast is helpful for   everyone involved, especially the poor groom who may get easily bored by the   flowers!!
Item #4  -  Lastly but still importantly, come in with a   budget. Here's were people get tripped up. They've been told, never tell them   how much you are willing or able to pay but with your flowers, that is exactly   what you should do. If a bride tells me what she needs, what general look and   feel she wants, what colors and what season, I am much more likely to be able  to  give her suggestions to help her stick to her budget than show her things  that  blow the doors off of it! Your florist should be your partner. If you do  not  trust us to be honest with you, you probably should not even be coming for  a  consultation. We're not here to take advantage, we're here to help you create   the wedding of your dreams!  Be sure to check out our YouTube Video to see some of our recent wedding designs!
