A frequently asked question is when do I need to book my florist?
Here at Pure Botanics the answer is simple, as soon as possible.
But before you get that far I’ve just jotted down a few really important things to consider before you book your florist.
What To Look For
You need to establish that you feel your florist has a clear understanding of the types of flowers and look you are wishing to create. You should be able to determine this at the consultation but it should also be backed up in a detailed quote.
Have you seen lots of examples of previous wedding flowers this florist has produced? That’s not photos from magazines or trade brochures such as Interflora or Teleflorist etc but actual photographs of real weddings. What’s the quality like of the flowers they are showing you?
Do you get on with them, it really important to get on with any wedding supplier as you’ll want to be able to discuss ideas and details as your wedding plans progress.
What do they offer you in terms of customer service on your actual wedding day? How many weddings to they do on one day?
Have they got any testimonials from previous couples?
Once you have found the answers to these important questions then go ahead and book.
At Pure Botanics we take bookings from brides at all sorts of different stages of their wedding planning. Some couples decide to book having met us at a wedding event or having seen our previous work. They then arrange a consultation further down the road when it suits them. Other couples meet us, have a consultation, look at the quote and then book us, it’s entirely up to you. Everybody works differently it’s just important that you feel happy with your decision.
The Earlier the Better
At Pure Botanics the only thing we say is don’t leave it too late, we are dedicated to our customer service and therefore only book one wedding per date. We are also very fortunate to have a well-established reputation; this means that we do get booked up well in advance.
Although some last minute bookings can be lucky and find us still available, on the flip side only yesterday I had to turn away a lovely couple as we were already booked on their wedding date.
