The flowers you choose to have as a part of your wedding ceremony can really enhance the event. However, locating a great wedding florist Bostonis not all that simple. The best florists will be busy so be sure to book early. It is always best to make these arrangements about six months before your wedding.
In order to locate a great florist, you can ask the banquet or reception hall owners for recommendations. These people are in direct contact with florists on a regular basis so you may indeed get a few names this way. If that does not do the trick, then asks family, friends and co-workers for suggestions. If you have been to a wedding recently which featured some beautiful Boston wedding flowers, by all means give that couple a call and ask them which florist they used. If you get a name this way, ask your friends if they had a pleasant experience with the florist and if the budget was adhered to. All too often florists will make empty promises regarding keeping within the budget and then a couple of days before the wedding will drop a bomb on the couple being wed by telling them that their flowers will end up costing them much more than they had been told previously.
Once you have obtained a few names of professional floral design Bostonbusinesses, call them all and get some price estimates. You should also take the time to make an appointment with them all so you can see their work for yourself. Many of the best florists will not offer you an estimate over the phone because they would like to sit down with you to discuss your wedding, its theme and the type of clothing that will be worn. This way the correct colors and types of flowers will be used, so do take any florist up on the offer to have a face-to-face meeting because it is definitely to your benefit.
Do not hesitate to tell the florists you speak to about your likes and dislikes. Remember that it is your wedding and you are the one with the final say. Do not allow any florist to 'convince' you to choose flowers you do not care for. The best florists want to know your preferences and will be more than happy to work with you to ensure you get the types of arrangements you enjoy.
