From bouquets to centerpieces, the flowers you choose for your wedding are essential to helping fulfill your wedding vision. At our Atlanta barn venue, we believe florals are a beautiful way to express the unique personalities of the couple. Since your florals are so important for your special day, our dear friend Melissa at A Delicate Petal is sharing with us the most important things to consider when choosing your florist.
The store.
When searching for a florist, make sure that they are capable of executing the exact style + look you have in mind for you wedding day! One way to do this is to walk around the store and see some of their example pieces. The different arrangements displayed should show a variety of styles, skill + creativity. It can also give you some inspiration if you’re still considering different arrangements and styles.
Details.
It is also important to ask lots of questions pertaining to how the florist will design and deliver your wedding florals. You will better be able to determine if they are able to provide what you are looking for when you are informed on what the florist’s process looks like. Make sure to ask questions about the small details of arrangement + delivery. At A Delicate Petal, we believe expressions of love can be delivered through flowers. Everything from the design to the delivery needs to be executed perfectly!

Pricing.
Besides the prices listed for their services, look into how much they require as a deposit and what extra ‘fees’ they have. These small fees can add up and add unexpected costs to the pricing quote. Here at A Delicate Petal, we’re pretty straight forward. It’s $100 to hold your date and time. The only other ‘fees’ that we have are vase rental and delivery. No catches! We offer no minimum to book with us, a quote the same day as your consultation, and a team of experts working to design your ideal florals for your perfect day!
Customer service.
How you are treated when you enter the store is very important. If the florist is friendly + accommodating, you can expect the same from their services. As a family-owned and operated business, we take delicate and individual care of every single arrangement, and every single customer. Many florists will go out of their way to provide excellent customer service + offers. We offer the ability to change or edit your quote up until 30 days before your wedding date.
So brides, do you have any tips for how you choose your florist? We’d love to hear!
My wife has been looking for a florist for our daughter’s wedding coming up, and I’m really glad that you talked about how much of a deposit they require and if there are any other fees. Weddings are expensive, so if we can get a set amount from a florist before we get things going, I would love to be able to have that set aside already with no surprises! I’m going to have to talk with my wife about what our pricing limits are, and which florist we should go with for the wedding.
The price does seem to be important when you are choosing a florist. I would imagine that you would need to find someone who is going to give you a fair and accurate estimate right off the bat. My sister is looking for a florist for her wedding so she’ll have to find one that prices their things fairly.
I like how you say that you can get a feel for a florist in their store. I would imagine that going to their actual store could give you an idea for common arrangements they have. I’m trying to find a florist for my wedding so I’ll have to visit their shop to see what kind of bouquets they usually put together.
Thanks for the great article. You wrote that you should visit the florist, and look at some of the examples they have around and see if the style matches your own. I’ve been wanting to get some flowers for my mother, as her birthday is quickly approaching. Along with seeing if the style matches my own, I could also get inspiration for a new look I could ask the florist to put together.
My fiance and I are planning our wedding, and she is having trouble choosing the right florist. There are a lot of options, and it is hard to narrow them down. I like that you talked about asking a lot of questions to get better details of how they will handle the job. That can show you whether or not they are up to your standards. I will keep this in mind as we look around.
It’s good to know that when it comes to choosing a florist for our wedding that there are a lot of different things that we need to look into finding the right one. I like how you pointed out that we need to ask a lot of questions so that we will know if they will be able to design and deliver the kind of florals that we are looking for. It will be great to be able to get the flowers I was hoping to have.
My fiance and I will be getting married this spring. We want to make sure that the florist we pick will be perfect to help us create the atmosphere we are looking for. Like you said, we will want to walk around the store and see some of the example pieces to make sure they show the style we are looking for.
I loved when you mentioned how a good florist would go out of their way to provide excellent customer services. It is important to remember that taking the time to understand this and to do some research can help you find the best flower provider you can find. My daughter is getting married in a few weeks and wants to make sure she finds the best florist to provide the arrangements for her special day, so I’ll share your page with her.
