What you need to know about flowers before hiring a florist?
Newly engaged and looking for a florist? Don’t know anything about flowers?
You’ve come to the right place. At White Fox Floral we make it our goal to have the flower part of your wedding planning process be as easy as possible for you.
With that being said…
What do you need to know about flowers?
Absolutely nothing. Zip! Seriously, you don’t need to know anything about wedding flowers! You don’t need to know what flowers are in season, what a scabiosa looks like, how to keep flowers alive or what colors roses come in! NOT 👏 A 👏 THING👏
That is why you hire a professional florist. We know all the things, so you don’t have to.
What you DO need to know is that hiring a florist is a lot like shopping for shoes. There are a lot of styles and options. Every florist has their own design style.
Before you contact a florist, decide if their overall floral design and look is something you love! If it is, reach out and fill out their inquiry form!
You are more than welcome to attach photos of arrangements that you love. In fact, we love that. We can use your photos as a reference when creating your dream wedding.
Just remember that you are hiring their work and their style. They will not be replicating the photos you have sent, only using them as a reference. You bouquet will be completely unique for you and your big day!
Not every florist loves using greenery in their arrangements just like not every boot is made for hiking. Pick a florists whose work you simply LOVE and your wedding will be a dream! ✨
Still not satisfied? Feeling uncertain?
Here is a bit of flower knowledge for you.
Yes, flowers do have seasons.
Some flowers are available year round and can be imported from other countries. Some flower are only available 2 months of the year.
If you are looking for a specific flower to be apart of your wedding day remember that we work with mother nature. We have zero control over the elements, because of this even if the flowers you want are in season, we cannot guarantee anything. However, you better believe we will do our very best to get that product for you and/or provide you with replacements that are just as good or better and fits perfectly for your special day!
