Flowers can be magical, romantic or whimsical and add the perfect grace note to your celebration. Let them tell your story! But how best to define your vision and then share it?
So how do you choose the best flowers for your wedding? Of the myriad of options, how do you select a handful to help you make your Big Day gorgeous and full of personality?
We have gathered some tips for you – read on and find out more. 

 Find a florist you are comfortable with. Take a look at the florists’ websites to see if  their aesthetic is in sync with your own. It is good to focus on ones that are located within a reasonable distance to your venue. Also, check out some reviews to see what past clients have to say about their services – this is extremely helpful if you want to know more about how they work. 
  • Do your homework. Before you meet with a florist, research some of the flowers you like. Remember their names and jot down potential style-related keywords as well. This will help you have a clearer discussion with your florist, so that you know you are both on the same page. 
  • Start a Pinterest Board. It’s fine to describe what you want, but having some good images can really help in determining what you like and this will help your florist get a better idea of how to create the perfect bouquet and arrangements so that you are truly happy on your Big Day. Pin like crazy everything you like then go back and get rid of everything that isn’t part of your vision for the flowers. By curating your board you will see trends emerge-certain colors, shapes and styles will keep recurring. This is what you should share with your florist. Also, make sure to leave your own comments about what it is you like about each image.

I agree that you need to know what kind of flowers you like before you meet with a florist. Having some insight into what kind of flowers you are looking for will help you pick a florist that can supply those. I'm looking for a florist for my wedding so I'll have to find someone who offers flowers I like.

Choosing the right flowers for our wedding is hard! I like how you said to find a good florist and then check their website out. That's a good idea, so we have a good florist and so we can get some inspiration.

I agree that you want to research a florist before you choose them. It would be good to consider things like their licensing and qualifications as well. I'm looking for flower for my wedding, so I'll have to consider researching them first.

With my husband's birthday coming up, I've been looking for a florist to get him flowers. When I find someone to deliver them, I'll have to follow your advice and research them first. Finding out about their experience and qualifications, for example, would be really helpful.

It was really nice when you suggested researching the flower that I want prior to meeting the florist and seeing the types of styles related to it so as to make the discussion smoother. I will be sure to keep this in mind since I am the one who was tasked to choose the wedding flowers for my sister. If only I knew that this was really hard, I would have stuck with choosing the band instead. Though it was good that I have an idea now. She said she wanted roses.

I agree that you want to research a few types of flowers that you like before choosing a florist. Approaching someone with a base level of knowledge would help you know they are qualified. My fiancee and I are looking for floral arrangements for our wedding, so we'll have to consider a few flowers we like before choosing someone to help us.

I like that you mention the importance of finding a florist that you can feel comfortable with and also someone that fits your aesthetic. My husband and I want to have some flowers at our anniversary party. I think we should find someone that has the same style we are trying to have for the party.

My sister has been thinking about getting some flowers for her boyfriend because she wants to show him that she appreciates him. She would really like to get some help from a professional in order to get the right design for her bouquet. I liked what you said about how they should research the flowers that he likes, and see what kind of colors he likes.

I want to get some flowers for my wife. It makes sense that I would want to get some that are a nice color. I'll make sure that I look into the symbolism of each flower color before I choose them.

Wonderful advice! You are correct in that we should be aware of the flowers we prefer as well as the florist. We should not buy flowers unless we have all of the information about the flowers as well as the florist. I like this tip a lot; thank you for such a great blog!

It really helped when you talked about choosing the best flowers for our wedding and how to do it. We're so excited to start planning our wedding, and we think it's time we look for a florist for the job. My fiance and I are getting married in a couple of months, so we'll be sure to start researching flowers before meeting with potential florists. Thanks for the advice on how we could get the flowers we want for our wedding.
