So how do you find the best florist for your wedding?

Ask around.
Getting recommendations is a great way to choose a wedding florist. Find out if your friends and family know of any florist they are impressed enough with to recommend.
Some banquet halls have also worked with certain florists regularly. If you are having a reception in a banquet hall, then ask the staff there if they have any recommendations.
Determine your floral wedding budget.
Flowers are seasonal. And expensive spring flowers imported for a Winter wedding will cause your wedding budget to explode. These two issues are important details that a wedding florist needs to know to let you know if they can meet your needs.
Visit wedding florists to see samples of their work.
While at the floral interview, give the florist a general idea of what you would like to get a price estimate. Find out if the florist is available to provide flowers on the date of your wedding. Try negotiating on the price, and do not forget to ask for references.
Take the quotes home as well as notes you’ve made of each visit with the florist. Use this information as well as your gut instinct and how comfortable you felt with the florist to help you make your final decision.
Choose a certified wedding florist.
Search for a florist certified by the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD) if you are especially concerned about the quality of your flower displays. This certification ensures the florist is an expert in many different designs since the certification process is rigorous.
Take a good look at the wedding florist’s shop during a consultation.
Decide if the showroom is attractive, organized and high quality. The amount of effort a florist puts into their showroom or even website can give you an idea of the type of work you can expect from them.
