Choosing a Vendor - Florist

Choosing a florist depends on the type of event that you will hold.

For an elaborate even with a lot of flair you will need elaborate flower arrangements.  Not all flower designers can create one of a kind, over the top, type of designs. 

Here are a couple of steps to take before choosing your flower designer:

1.    Review their website first.  If their website does not clearly showcase their work move on to the next florist on your list. 
2.    If you like what you see on their website, give them a call and schedule a one on one meeting.  You want to see in person if they are a good fit for you and your event.  At the meeting go over your vision, bring pictures of the designs you like, be prepared with type of flowers you would like to use and freely share that information with them.
3.    Have them create a sample of what one of your arrangements will look like.  You will most likely need to pay a fee, but it is worth the money for you to see their work in action.
4.    A large and elaborate event will require a florist who has sufficient number of assistants to help put together the many different intricate and sophisticated designs.

Think of if this way:  picking the perfect floral design for an event is like picking the perfect barbeque sauce for your stake, or the perfect frosting for your cake.  The event with the just the right floral design is satisfying to the eyes, just like the perfect barbeque sauce is satisfying to the taste buds, remembered for a long time.
