10 Questions to Ask Your Florist

You’re engaged, congrats! This is such an exciting time and while it may seem overwhelming all the details that need decisions, your floral should be a fun part of the process.

Today I’m sharing some of the top 10 questions to ask your florist during your first consultation. It is my hope that by asking these questions you can feel confident in making your floral decisions.

10 Questions to ask

  1. What flowers are likely to be in season?

  2. Are my floral requests in line with my budget?

  3. What recommendations can you make to keep the cost within my budget?

  4. Do you provide any vases/decor? If so, is there a fee for using these items?

  6. Can I send arrangements home with guests?

  7. How do you coordinate delivery at different ceremony and reception venues?

  8. When do you schedule tear-down?

  9. How many weddings to you do per weekend? If you book multiple weddings per day how do you handle my delivery?

A June Wedding at The Lageret

Mike and Kristen’s wedding day was nothing short of stunning. With personal details throughout their special day, a host of incredible vendors including Ruthie Hauge Photography and KIS Event Planning their wedding day came together so perfectly.

Using heavy greenery and white and blush blooms to compliment their sophisticated yet youthful vibes, I created some of my favorite floral arrangements to date.

It was such an honor creating the wedding flowers for these two and cheers to all the years to come Kristen and Mike!

Floral | Vendor - Relax Event Planning

I met Amy back in February of 2018 over a mimosa and some delicious cupcakes to discuss a styled shoot. Amy is one of those people that radiates a love for this industry. 

Relax Event Planning Madison Wisconsin

vendor raves

We all want to make planning a wedding simpler, more fun and to work with incredible and honest people to make our the vision come to life.

When I, as well as my friends, were in the midst of planning our own weddings I started to notice a common theme. We all ended up endlessly scrolling through wedding websites wondering about more than the price of a vendor, but if we could trust them.

The benefit of being immersed in the wedding industry is that vendors get to know one another on a very intimate level, and there is a ton to be said about these deep relationships we build. We know what we can expect from each other, so when a vendor offers a recommendation it's probably a pretty dang good one.

Since I happen to be on the tail-end of the planning I never get to give much of a recommendation of some vendors that I find incredibly talented, honest and completely in love with helping you make your special day dreams come to life.

So, starting today you'll start hearing more about some incredible ladies making my job in the wedding industry so much more of a team atmosphere and helping people like you create a beautiful day.

my honest opinion of an incredible vendor

Amy Relax Event Planning - Wisconsin Wedding Flowers

First on my list for some incredible reasons is Amy at Relax Event Planning. I met Amy back in February of 2018 over a mimosa and some delicious cupcakes to discuss a styled shoot. Amy is one of those people that radiates a love for this industry. 

If I can say anything about this girl it's that she's the real deal when it comes to planning. Amy is incredibly organized, has relationships with quality vendors and has impeccable taste to go along with her enthusiastic personality. 

Amy is a planner at heart, she's be planning events for years so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that this budding entrepreneur is making waves in her first year. Her knowlege of coordinating events large and small is very evident in her work, she's a coordinating queen.

I would hands-down recommend Amy to you. I'm sure from the first time you meet you'll feel her humble nature and her genuine love for making your special day uniquely yours. So relax ladies and leave the stress of the planning to Amy.
