What Is Their Role?
A florist's role is to provide services tailored to a couple’s needs to help design the look, ambiance, and beauty for any special occasion using their creativity and know-how for a wedding ceremony and the reception. For example, making floral arrangements, cake embellishments, and décor for these and other special events.
In addition, staff generally performs the labor necessary to make such an occasion seamless so the couple can handle all of the other wedding-related activities, such as providing the delivery service, setup and cleanup, and preservation of flowers.
Some of the services included are consultations, site visits, event designs, production, sample arrangements, table centerpieces, bridal party bouquets, flower crowns, boutonnieres, corsages, flower girl baskets, rental décor, wedding arches, flower, and plant care.
Tips to Consider Before Choosing a Florist
When choosing a florist, it is a good idea to plan the aesthetics of your special day. For example, will the wedding ceremony and reception be inside or outside, in a church or a forest? Will there be a theme? For instance, you could have a renaissance or culturally inspired styled-theme. You can also choose to keep it classic and perhaps have a ceremony only. Next, consider the time of year for the type of flowers you desire for your big event. It is easier if the flowers are in season since it may be more costly and time-consuming if the florist has to special order.
Then decide what your wedding party will wear and the color scheme. Typically, the bridesmaid flower bouquets and groomsmen's boutonnieres will match the colors of their wedding attire. So naturally, the bride will want specific flowers in their bridal bouquet, which the florist will design. Table decorations often match the color scheme of the wedding party and the bride's bouquet, but it's not necessary.
The final step is considering a budget for what you want and can afford. Since items can add up quickly, it is a good idea to do some research and get some prices and recommendations before deciding on a florist. When contacting a florist, let them know your wedding style to ensure they can accommodate you and will give you the best prices.
Budgeting For a Florist
How much will this service cost, and how much should you set aside? On average, you should set aside around 8-10% of your wedding budget for the florist. Typically, couples can spend $700 to $2,500 on flowers, including bouquets, table arrangements, décor, and other items.
In today's florist industry, the average bouquet can cost around $250 for Bridal Bouquets and $80 for Bridesmaid bouquets. However, there are some tips to lower costs. You can work with the florist and choose in-season flowers, cost-effective blooms, or statement blooms that can fill a space. Keep an open mind; collaborate with the florist for more cost-effective ideas and some DIY tips to help keep costs down.
