Go online or use a wedding planning app that can help you narrow down the local flower shops to only the best and highly recommended vendors. Choose a florist that has many years of experience in arranging flowers for weddings.

Talk to the florist. Get in touch with the flower shop to interview the people who will be arranging your flowers. Talk to them about your wedding, and discuss your budget and the flowers that you want to see on your big day. Tell them about your color scheme, what the groomsmen would wear, and how your bridesmaids intend to style their hair. This way, the florist can prepare the correct flowers that are easy to handle or wear.

Look for pictures of wedding floral arrangements that you like and show them to the florist. A good florist should be able to understand the floral arrangements that you want to achieve without your budget going overboard. The florist may have some suggestions based on his or her expertize on prices and flower types.

See samples of the florist's work. If the flower shop has a website or a catalog, there should be some sample of their previous wedding flower arrangements. Consider searching for testimonials and reviews about the shop, too.
