5 Ways to Help Your NYC Wedding Florist, Help You

April 8th, 2011 by Lindsey

Wedding planning can be hectic. Avoid last-minute worrying and hassles while working with your NYC wedding florist by keeping these 5 tips in mind:

Know Your Style

The best way to ensure that the NYC wedding florist you’ve selected can help you is to find a NYC wedding florist that you can trust, who shares your tastes, and whose work you love. Every designer has a style, whether it’s traditional and feminine or modern and ultra-chic. It also helps to bring images of the kinds of styles you like when meeting with your NYC wedding florist.

Create a Relationship with Your NYC Wedding Florist

Make sure to spend time with your floral designer and tell them about yourself. Floral designing is like artwork, and the best way to get the wedding of your dreams is to create wedding flower arrangements that truly represent you and your loved one as a couple. For this, your floral designer has to get to know you.

Plan Ahead

Start planning your wedding flowers at least 6 months prior to your wedding; a year is always the best practice. This will allow your NYC wedding florist to show you all the flowers in their appropriate seasons, and how they will look the following year during their blooming season.

Stick with Seasonal

We strongly recommend choosing seasonal flowers for your wedding. Yes, many NYC wedding florists can find peonies in November for your special day, but by then their season is well over. Out of season flowers can be a hassle to acquire, and something could easily go wrong: limited providers in remote locations might deliver late, grow a bad batch, or send the wrong color and ruin an entire wedding concept. Any NYC wedding florist will advise you to stick with seasonal flowers, because the last thing you want is last minute hassles and changes.

Go With Your Instincts

Once you make your decision, stick with it! Don’t go back and forth – when all is said and done, nobody but YOU will know if you had originally planned callas or roses or hydrangea in your bridal bouquet. Don’t sweat the small stuff; those little details are JUST FOR YOU!!! Pick what you love and stick with it.

At the end of the day, your wedding flowers are there to add a beautiful ambiance to the ceremony, reception and the whole night. Visit our Wedding Florists section to find out how our NYC wedding florists at Big Apple can make sure your wedding day is perfect.
