Choosing your Wedding Florist – Five Things to Consider
2. Are They Passionate About Sustainability?
If sustainability is a priority for you, ensure your florist shares this commitment. Ask about their sourcing practices and design methods. Do they support local growers, use seasonal blooms, and work foam-free like we do here? These thoughtful choices not only reflect a care for the planet but also allow for optimum quality, inclusion of delicate and unusual blooms, capturing the moment in time and making your wedding florals feel harmonious and memorable.
3. Do They Offer Tailored Guidance?
This is where the magic happens. Your florist should take the time to really listen to your ideas and help refine them into something spectacular. They should ask questions about your venue, palette, and style, then guide you with creative suggestions that feel uniquely yours. For example, at Made with Grace, I work closely with couples to uncover the little details that matter most and design florals that are a true reflection of their story. It can be a small detail, like hand painted botanical stationary on the dining tables, that inspire the wider concept of the table flowers and dining space to elevate this space so harmoniously for example.

4. How Transparent Are They About Costs?
Wedding flowers are an investment, and an honest, open conversation about budget is key to getting the most value for your money. A good florist will give you a clear idea of what’s possible, help you prioritise what’s most important, and offer clever solutions to maximise your floral impact. This kind of transparency not only builds trust but ensures you feel confident about your choices every step of the way. You can find an indication of our pricing over on the wedding flowers page.
Choosing your florist isn’t just about finding someone who can make beautiful arrangements—it’s about finding a creative partner who will enhance your day with artistry, care, and expertise. By asking these questions, you’ll be well on your way to discovering someone who shares your values, understands the aesthetic of your day, and brings the kind of expertise that makes your floral moments unforgettable.
