Tips for choosing wedding florists in Metro Vancouver

✓

Do's: what to lean into

1
Choose seasonal flowers
In-season blooms are fresher, more affordable, and more sustainable. Ask your florist what is peaking around your date.
2
Bring visual references
Pinterest boards, color swatches, and fabric samples help your florist understand your aesthetic quickly.
3
Discuss repurposing
Ceremony arrangements can move to the reception. Bridesmaids' bouquets can double as table centerpieces.
4
Set a clear budget
Be upfront about your budget. A good florist can work within constraints and suggest alternatives.
✗

Don'ts: what trips people up

1
Don't fixate on one specific bloom
If peonies are out of season, forcing them in will cost a premium. Trust your florist's alternatives.
2
Don't forget setup and teardown time
Florals need time to install. Confirm logistics with your venue and florist together.
3
Don't overlook greenery
Greenery-heavy arrangements are beautiful, affordable, and photograph well.
4
Don't wait too long to book
Popular florists book 6-12 months out for peak wedding season.
