Are You Hiring The Wrong Florist?
Did you know that 3 out of 4 hosts or social planners hire a
florist for their special occasion? Although professional
florists can enhance your special day with flowers, the
florist must know your style, criteria and budget. Many
attributes must be carefully thought through before
selecting a florist or flower shop. Carefully read through
the information below to save you time, money and
unsatisfactory results from your florist.
Many people agree that flowers are one of the most important
elements in your design. From big parties to small
get-togethers, flowers can bring that added touch to any
setting. If you are planning to appoint a florist for your
event, discuss what you want to achieve with your flowers.
Many people do not know what they require and will be left
with disappointing flowers. Lots of hosts or organizers hire
florists that can turn out to be a disappointing investment. If you follow the
5 rules laid out below, you will invest in a good florist
that knows exactly what you like and can use flowers to reinforce
the mood you must create.
1. Research
This step is very important before you talk to your florist.
Discuss what type of flowers you prefer for your special
occasion. To get more ideas, look around in local flower
shops or even online. Get a taste of florists' outlines and
flower arrangements in your area. Knowing what color, size or
type of flower you want will let your florist tailor to you.
Also, researching different flowers trends can give you more
creativity with flowers. If you are aware of what flowers are in season,
your purchased flowers will stay strong and stay healthier,
longer.
2. Budget
When discussing your budget with a florist, be very firm.
Only you know how much you are willing to spend on your
flowers. If the quote that a florist gives you is
unreasonable, search around your neighborhood. It is always
better to find a great deal and a florist that will take
your flowers seriously. A knowledgeable florist should be
able to suggest new flower ideas within your price range.
3. Communication
Communication is key when dealing with your florist. Your
florist must know what you like or dislike. If your florist
suggests a theme
that you are not comfortable with, be
honest. It could save stress and grief later. Get to know
your florist better. If you are friendly, you are more
likely to solve and negotiate problems. A good florist will
build on your ideas and create them into beautiful flowers
for your special day.
4. Style
This one is crucial for your flowers to be perfect. Know
your florist's style. Florists and flower shops usually have
distinct details that are seen in their arrangements and
bouquets. Many professional florists stick to one prominent
style or topic. If you are unsure about his/her style, ask
to look at photos of other weddings, events, etc. that they
have planned. Make sure your florist has some experience in
this area. If you are still not keen, shop around for
another florist who has flowers that you can pour your heart
into.
5. Planning
To make an event fabulous, you must organize and plan.
Always know where you are going to be placing your flowers
and how many arrangements you will need. Florists are great at
helping you categorize and outline your feelings and
personalities into flowers. This creates mood when you are
entertaining your guests. Florists can also point out things
that you may have overlooked. All of the little details,
like planning and being in control, contribute to the
making of a wonderful day!
------------------------------------------------------------
Florists can be a tremendous asset in helping you in designing and
creating magical flowers for your special occasion. Whether
a birthday party, wedding, or anniversary
many florists are willing to plan any event for
you. They can also help you create the appropriate mood
for business functions or a more somber statement such
as a funeral. After reading these tips, you can be
confident that you will save money and time on a
good and reliable florist.
If you put these 5 tips for hiring a florist into action,
you will be rewarded with exceptional results.
