It is important to determine what kind of person you want to be your florist before you head out and start meeting selected florists. Are you looking for a person who will take complete control over the floral arrangements and maintain a large say over the process or are you looking for someone who you will be able to lead along every step? Or are you looking for a florist who is a combination of both?

In addition, you will also need to know the florist’s design tendencies before you commit to one. Ask to see a portfolio when you meet the florist to see if their style matches what you like or want for your wedding and talk to friends to find out who they used if you like what their florist did for them or to find out if they would be a good character match for you. If you find someone that you have not heard about or you do not know, make sure that you check them out with the Better Business Bureau to see if anyone has had problems with them in the past. If so, steer clear to give yourself the best opportunity for beautiful floral arrangements that you are happy with.
