#1| Are you available on my wedding date?

The number one question you should ask any potential wedding florist is whether they are available on your chosen wedding date. Most florists will require a deposit in order to reserve your date. Leaving a deposit will allow you to focus on other aspects of planning without the stress of losing your preferred choice. It's important to confirm their availability early on in the process to avoid any disappointments later.

#2| How many weddings do you do in one day?

You’ll want to make sure the florist will have enough time and resources dedicated to your wedding. An experienced florist will have the ability to organize logistics for a smooth and timely delivery. By providing your florist with a clear timeline and schedule of your event, they can coordinate with their team to ensure everything arrives on time. 

#3| What is included in your wedding services?

Before you say “I Do” to the florist, you’ll want to have a clear understanding of the services they can provide. Do they deliver and set-up? Will they take care of breakdown once your event is over? At New City Florist, we handle all aspects of delivery such as setting up your decor, moving arrangements as needed, and cleaning up at the end of the night. We take care of the flowers so you can simply enjoy your special day!

#4| Can I see a portfolio of your previous work? / Have you ever worked at my chosen venue?

Ask to see a portfolio of the florist's previous work or inquire if they have ever worked at your chosen venue before. Seeing examples of their past projects can help you envision how they can bring your floral vision to life. Keep in mind: different venues may have specific requirements when it comes to floral arrangements, so having a florist who is familiar with the space can make the planning much smoother.

#5| How will you accommodate my style and color preference for flowers?

Finally, discuss with the florist how they will accommodate your style and color preferences for flowers. It's essential that they understand your vision and can suggest floral arrangements that align with it. Whether you prefer classic roses or wildflowers, make sure the florist can create designs that reflect your taste. When you work with New City Florist, you’ll receive only the highest-quality flowers! We work with farms from all over the world to ensure the flowers will last for your entire wedding day.
