Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, and your floral design plays a crucial role in bringing your vision to life. As a luxury wedding florist in New England, we believe that the best floral designs come from a truly collaborative process. Your wedding flower consultation is an opportunity to discuss your dreams, explore possibilities, and set the stage for a stunning floral experience.

To make the most of your consultation, here’s how you can best prepare:

1. Gather Inspiration

Before your consultation, take some time to curate images and ideas that resonate with you. Pinterest, Instagram, and TikTok are great places to start. While you don’t need to have an exact floral vision, having a sense of your preferred colors, styles, and textures will help guide our conversation.

Pro Tip: Focus on overall aesthetics rather than specific flowers. Seasonal availability and design expertise will shape the final selection.

2. Know Your Wedding Details

Your wedding flowers should complement the overall feel of your day. Be ready to share:

• Your Venue – The architecture, setting, and color palette of your venue influence floral design choices.
• Your Color Palette – Even if it’s just a general idea, knowing whether you love soft pastels, rich jewel tones, or classic neutrals will help us create a cohesive design.
• Your Guest Count & Tablescapes – The number of tables and the layout (long banquet vs. round tables) will impact centerpiece designs.
• Your Wedding Dress & Attire – The style, fabric, and embellishments can inspire bouquet shapes and floral details. This is less critical but helpful to have at the start if possible. 

3. Before your Wedding Flower Consultation Define Your Priorities

Every couple has unique floral priorities. Ask yourself:

• What floral elements are must-haves? (e.g., a statement ceremony arch, lush centerpieces, a cascading bridal bouquet)
• Are there areas where you’d prefer to be more minimal or creative with the budget?
• Do you want florals to be a focal point or a subtle accent?

By understanding your priorities, we can allocate your floral budget effectively to create the most impact.

4. Have a Budget in Mind

Luxury wedding florals are an investment in your overall aesthetic. While we always tailor designs to suit your vision, having a general budget range in mind helps me propose options that align with your expectations. If you’re unsure, we can provide guidance on what’s realistic based on your venue, guest count, and floral wishlist.

Pro Tip: Quality over quantity—fewer, lush, well-placed arrangements often create a bigger impact than spreading the budget too thin.

5. Be Open to Expert Guidance During the Wedding Flower Consultation

One of the joys of working with a luxury florist is that you don’t have to know everything—We’re here to guide you! While you might have your heart set on peonies in September, we can suggest beautiful seasonal alternatives that achieve the same romantic look. Trust the process and be open to creative suggestions.

6. Bring Key Decision-Makers

If your partner, planner, or family member is involved in floral decisions, it’s helpful to have them at the consultation. This ensures that everyone is aligned and prevents back-and-forth changes later in the process.

7. Prepare Questions

Your consultation is the perfect time to ask about:

• Seasonal flower availability
• Sustainability options (such as foam-free designs or repurposing florals)
• Rental options for vessels, candles, and arches
• Timeline for floral design and setup on the wedding day

8. Trust the Vision & Enjoy the Wedding Flower Consultation Process

Florals are one of the most transformative design elements of your wedding. By coming prepared, trusting your florist, and embracing the creative process, you’ll walk away from your consultation excited and confident that your wedding flowers will be nothing short of extraordinary.
