Which is your favorite wedding detail? Many wedding guests, including brides and grooms, are quick to point out flowers. Flowers are prominent features at most weddings. They are used in boutonnieres and wedding bouquets. The pieces that bring a color scheme to life are also called wedding flowers. Wedding flowers are just as important as their eye-catching appearance, and we love them.
We know how much we love flowers, and we know how much you do too. Here are the top five reasons to hire a professional florist Kingsgrove to help you plan your wedding.
1. Florists Are Experts In What’s Available And What’s In Season
Using flowers that are easily available on your wedding day is one of the best ways to cut down on your flowers. You can do this by selecting flowers that are in season. Florists can source flowers when they are in season. They can either order directly from the farms or work with a wholesaler. However, if flowers aren’t in season, they will likely need to be shipped in from other countries. This can prove costly. It’s not impossible to use out-of-season flowers for your wedding. However, it is important to note that it might cost more.
2. Florists Are Experts In Finding The Best Flowers And Supplies
Ever wonder where florists source their flowers? Or how do grocery stores stock their floral department? Both work with many flower wholesalers and markets. Wholesalers are connected to growers in the flower industry and place orders for boxes (and more boxes!) They can order a variety of flowers based on their customers’ needs, such as florists or grocery stores. Based on what flowers their clients want, florists know which wholesalers they should call and wholesalers how to locate them. It’s an entire supply chain.
3. Florists Are Experts In How To Order And Budget Flowers
Ordering flowers is necessary to make them into arrangements, centerpieces, and bouquets. A florist ordering flowers for a wedding knows that they cannot order exactly the amount they need. They order between 10-20% more flowers than they need. They have plenty of flowers in stock to replace any that arrive damaged or dead. Extra flowers allow florists the option to replace flowers that are damaged or no longer looking their best at the wedding. Florists know how to place an order, when to deliver flowers for peak freshness and which flowers and greens can be sold by the bunch, the stem, or the box.
4. Florists Are Skilled In The Art Of Arranging Fresh Flowers
You can DIY wedding flowers. This is likely to be your first venture into floral design. Florists are experts and know what they are doing. Working with a florist will save you time, money, and energy. We aren’t exaggerating when we say that you won’t want to tackle a DIY project as complicated as floral design within days of your wedding.
5. Nearly Every Weekend, Florists Set Up Or Tear Down Weddings
Nearly every weekend, florists set up and tear down weddings. They can tell you when to have your bouquet ready, where to pin it, how to set up a backdrop or ceremony arch, and how to place your wedding centerpieces before your guests arrive. Florists know how to clean up after the event, and they do it quickly. Set up and tear down are two of the most important tasks for florists. It is important to be able and present at your wedding, as well as delighted by your flowers.
