More great tips from expert florist Matthew McDonald of Bookshelf Florist and Gifts in Gaffney, SC, http://www.bookshelfflorist.com/.
Your florist or floral designer for your wedding should have a checklist of what to ask you, but it never hurts to be prepared.
Have the following ready and you will make life easier for everyone:
1. Who and how many are in the wedding party.
2. What arrangements are needed for the wedding.
3. What arrangements are needed for the reception.
4. Pictures of styles you like and flowers.
It's also important to be open to ideas and to go with the flow. There is always something that can go wrong somewhere and usually it will! It might be that a pianist calls in sick and you get a replacement, an extra flower is needed and was not ordered, or the DJ forgets your names.
Just remember it's how well you glide over the problems to make it seem as if there were none.
As we say in my shop, "We help make the moment a memory." The flowers may wilt and the memories fade, but always keep your love strong and your memories will last a lifetime.
