How to choose the right florist for your wedding

Congratulations - you just got engaged! Here are my top 5 tips for choosing a florist for your wedding.

Getting engaged - what an exciting milestone! Congratulations! Now the fun (and yes, a little overwhelming) part begins: planning your dream day. One of the most impactful ways to set the tone for your wedding is through your flowers. From a stunning bridal bouquet to impressive table decorations, flowers add that extra magical touch.

But how do you find the right florist? As someone who has been in the flower business for many years, I have some tips to share.

1. Choose a florist with skills and expertise

Your florist should be able to turn your vision-whether it's lush and classic, minimalist and modern, or wildly romantic-into reality. Look for someone with a portfolio that matches your style. The right florist knows how to balance your desires with seasonal flowers and create something unique to you.

2. Look for easy and reliable delivery options

On your wedding day, timing is everything. A reliable florist will make sure your flowers arrive fresh, on time and looking stunning. At The Mayflower, we pride ourselves on a smooth delivery process, because the last thing you should have to worry about is: "Where are my flowers?"

3. prioritize experience

There's something magical about working with a florist who has years of experience. From tight schedules to unexpected challenges at the venue, I've had the privilege of handling it all, and it's that experience that makes your flowers perfect no matter what.

4. Focus on the customer experience

Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but working with the right florist should be easy. You deserve someone who listens, communicates clearly and makes the process enjoyable. At The Mayflower, we strive to create an experience that's personalized, caring, and stress-free-your wedding flowers should bring you joy, not more stress.

5. trust your gut

At the end of the day, choosing a florist is all about trust. If their work takes your breath away and you feel that they truly understand your vision, then you have found "the one" (the florist).
