Flowers set the tone for your wedding—they transform spaces, reflect your style, and create unforgettable moments. Choosing the right florist is about more than picking blooms; it’s about collaborating with a professional who can bring your vision to life. If you’ve read our Just Engaged? A Guide to Montreal Wedding Planning, booking your florist is the next step in creating an elegant, well-curated celebration.

Ask Yourself Real or Faux Flowers?

• Do you want fresh blooms or high-quality silk flowers?
• Consider your budget: good silk flowers can sometimes cost as much as real ones.
• Create a mood board to clarify your colors, textures, and floral style.

Key Questions to Ask Your Florist

1. Design Style & Vision

• How would you describe your design style—classic, romantic, or garden-inspired?
• Where will florals have the strongest visual impact?
• Should we invest more in ceremony, tablescapes, or installations?
• How can we repurpose arrangements throughout the day?

2. Seasonality & Availability

• Which blooms are at their peak on our wedding date?
• Are substitutions available if certain flowers are unavailable?
• How do you maintain consistent color tones across bouquets and arrangements?

3. Process & Collaboration

• Do you provide mood boards or sample palettes?
• When is the final design confirmed?
• How do you handle last-minute adjustments or changes?
• How do you coordinate with the planner and venue?

4. Logistics & Budget

• Is delivery and installation included?
• Do you handle teardown after the event?
• What is your deposit, and when is the remaining balance due?

Note: Many florists have a minimum order around $3,000 for large weddings, but this varies depending on the size and scale of your celebration.
