Dana Point Florist - choices

Your choice of aDana Point Florist will likely be made either because you and your family have always used the same one, or, if you do not have a regular florist, through recommendations from friends of family. Both of these reasons are good, and certainly better than choosing blind from Yellow Pages.

However, a Dana Point Florist can do more for you than simply providing the flowers. If you walk into a florist's shop and choose a nice looking bouquet in a vase for your home that is one thing. It is quite a different thing using the services of a florist for your wedding. That will be your biggest day so far in your life, and not one to leave in the hands of people you do not know: yet that is what you are expected to do.

Not only with your florist but with the butcher, the baker and candlestick maker and everybody else with their fingers in your wedding pie. So choose well, and use recommendations when you can, but you are not obliged to take advice. You can, and should, make your own decisions. This is as true with your Dana Point Florist as your Dana Point caterer, confectioner, and wedding singer.

Dana Point Florist - recommendations

So what is this important information that your florist can provide you with? Anything you are not sure about is your answer. Your Dana Point Florist will have dealt with hundreds if not thousands of weddings in Dana Point, and will be able to set your mind at rest on many aspects of your wedding. It doesn't have to do just with the flowers, because the florist will have been involved in the wedding arrangements for all these previous ceremonies and receptions all the way through, from the initial booking to the actual ceremony and will also know the best provider of most of the other items and services required for you big day. If not the best, then perhaps those to avoid! That information is just as valuable.

What type of bouquet is best for your dress, which venues provide their own flowers, which chapels look best with colorful flower displays and which are best with white and greenery? Even questions such as 'what caterer could you recommend?' can be asked of your Dana Point Florist. These people have lots of experience in Dana Point weddings so take advantage of it.

Dana Point Florist - timing

Your Dana Point Florist will appreciate you making your booking early, and a year is not too early. You will be on their calendar and this is even more important if you want the florist to be available personally on the day of the wedding to set up the arrangements and table centerpieces. You will be charged for this service, but if you are having a significant display of flowers, then it will be worth it. The professional touch shows, and your floral decorations will look much the better if set up by your florist. However, you will have to book that service early, hence the recommended year in advance. This is especially true if your wedding date clashes with the proms.

If you think that you would benefit from the advice of your chosen Dana Point Florist, then what you should do is to arrange a meeting when you make your booking. Book the florist first with a date in mind. Then at the first meeting ask advice about venues for the ceremony and reception, and possibly even for the caterer, confectioner and the other service you will have to organize for the reception – your parents will eventually be wishing you had just eloped!

Then you can make your mind up about the venues, taking the professional advice into consideration along with that well meant from your friends and relatives. That's when you get the date set, inform the Dana Point Florist of that date and you will be all set to get on with your arrangements. If you are taking these steps a year in advance then you should be able to secure the venues of your choice.

You should make up a timetable of things to do, with a check-box to tick when they have been done. That way you won't forget anything. You might avoid turning up at the chapel and then realizing that you had forgotten to book the minister! Believe me, people forget the simplest of things (though the minister is stretching it a bit), and a check-list is an essential tool for you. That list should include floral needs, such as the decorations for the church or chapel – you might even need your own floral displays if you are being married in a gazebo on a beach or clifftop – and the reception. Your reception will involve table decorations and centerpieces, and possibly general decoration and also flowers for the cake table and a gift or guest book table: a simple vase display will do if you have these features.

Then there is the wedding party. Don't forget about your bouquet and that of your maid or matron of honor, the flowers for the bridesmaids and the corsages and boutonnières for the families if you are also providing these. You might also have a flower girl with a basket of petals. All of these have to be selected with the help of your Dana Point Florist.

So, as you might now appreciate, your Dana Point Florist can do a lot more for you than just provide flowers. Take her advice because she will want your repeat business (hopefully not another wedding) and will make sure that any advice she gives you will be genuine and very useful to you, and help to ensure that your big day is as fabulous as you deserve.
