Hi there, I'm Fawn, your northwoods and Wausau area florist specialist in wedding + life celebratory florals!
Here's three things bridal clients need to know:
1) Wedding flowers require more planning than most think. All too often, I receive the wedding inquiry with limited information and they want to know how much things cost without any conversation. It's like going to a car lot and asking how much cars cost. Florists need at minimum the date (first), how many couples, if ceremony flowers are needed and how many centerpieces. And are we looking for wildflowers or high-end full bouquets without greenery? Plan to set aside 15 to 30 minutes initially for that conversation.
2) Budget. I get it. You've never planned a wedding before and do not know costs. But it's so helpful to give a price range to go off of that's in your head. I can easily tell someone after a 10 minute convo if the range is doable looking at some inspiration pictures.
3) We don't start working on the flowers the night before. In fact, I begin prepping as soon as I finish the wedding before yours, like on Sunday afternoon. Wedding work typically begins on Monday and ends Friday night....whenever that time is! And then Saturday is show time with delivering, setting up, transferring and midnight clean up sometimes. Floristry is a profession that is more labor intensive and stressful than what most assume. It's not for the physically or mentally weak.
