The Process of Finding a Florist for Your Wedding – Top Tips
You’re endlessly searching Google, Chat, The Knot, and anywhere else you can think of to find an amazing wedding florist who can bring your dream vision to life. But how do you know you’ve found the ‘right’ Utah wedding florist? Through the information below, I’m detailing some of my top tips as a wedding industry professional to help you during your search for a local wedding florist. I’ll also be highlighting our sister company, Wild Earth Designs, to give you an inside view of their process, offerings, and the average price point of their customers.
Getting Started
When you begin searching for a local wedding florist, first and foremost, you’ll want to check their pricing. There are plenty of amazing Salt Lake City wedding florists, but if their pricing doesn’t align with your budget, it’s a quick path that will lead you to frustration. Most florists offer a beginning minimum spend, which should be clearly listed on their website. Before you receive a more detailed quote, this beginning minimum spend will give you an idea of what your jumping-off point is.
Second, check their work. What is the overall look and feel? Do they offer an array of designs for couples through a variety of styles? Or does their work seem to be replicated throughout their portfolio? A skilled wedding florist will also be a designer who can create a variety of looks, depending on their couple’s vision. Does the portfolio you are browsing showcase whimsy, luxury, black tie, boho, modern, and romantic? Or does everything kind of have a sameness to it? A portfolio is always telling; a variety of looks within will showcase the range of depth offered by the florist, giving you an idea of what’s possible when it comes to your own wedding.
Lastly, check their reviews. What are past couples saying about their experience? Were they offered a friendly process that prioritized communication and insights? Or did they have a difficult time getting in touch with their Utah wedding florist after the deposit was made? Each of these various brand touchpoints will provide an overall sense of the wedding florist you are interested in working with before you make your final decision.
