Three reasons to hire a professional florist for weddings

Your wedding day is one of the most memorable days of your life. When it comes to one of the most important elements—the florals—here are three reasons to leave it to a professional:

1. Saves time

With so much to do leading up to and on “The Big Day,” spare time is not something the bride will have. The chosen florist should offer day-of services such as delivery of the flowers to the first place for photos, preferably where the bride is getting ready, as well as delivery and set up for the ceremony and reception. When the wedding celebration is finished, a return visit to pick up rental items should already be scheduled so the new couple can set off on the honeymoon without worry.

2. Ensures quality

There is nothing more disappointing than the bride-to-be in a panic because the flowers she ordered online and in bulk are not in top condition. Professional florists know the correct colors of the flowers being ordered and are aware of what is in season and which blooms will be the most beautiful and economical for your wedding. They inspect, clean and hydrate all flowers that come into their shop according to the guidelines set up through floriculture for the best longevity and health of the blooms.

3. Offers a sounding board

Professional florists have years of experience with different cultures, religions and traditions, and know what works and what doesn’t. They also know other flowers that are available in similar colors and textures to provide the look you want. Additionally, they can act as a buffer between what you want for your wedding day and what your family and friends want for your wedding day.
