Questions to ask your florist before booking

Q – What questions should we ask our florist before booking?

Here are the most important questions you should ask:

• What experience do they have, and how long has the company been going?
• Do they arrange the flowers themselves or subcontract them?
• Do they have a portfolio, reviews and letters of recommendation you can see?
• What flowers would they recommend for the time of year you're getting married, and are there any that aren’t in season?
• Do they charge extra for vases and candelabra hire, or is the loan included? Do they collect any loaned items, or do you need to return them?
• Have they worked at your venue before, and do they deliver everything there?
• Do they have public liability insurance?
• Can you collect the bouquets the day before?
