How to get your perfect wedding flowers in Glasgow

Flowers can really set the tone for a whole wedding. Whether it be a spring, summer, autumn or winter wedding, the flowers you choose will reflect the season and your personal style. You may prefer something understated with small arrangements that are of high quality beautiful and classy  or you may prefer flowers that are bold and big – something much more flamboyant. Whatever your style you will find excellent florists in Glasgow who will work with you to provide the perfect flowers for your wedding.

Glasgow Florists for your wedding needs

There are many specialist florists in Glasgow that will deal specifically with your wedding flowers; they are usually talented and committed people that will work tirelessly to create exactly what you want – and all ready in good time.

When you’re looking for flowers for your wedding, it’ a good idea to look through bridal and flower magazines to see what’s in fashion and what suits your own style.  If you have something definite in mind then you should arrange to sit down with the florist you have chosen and discuss your requirements. You may want flowers for everyone in the wedding party, or you may just want arrangements for the table and for your bouquet. If you aren’t too sure what you want don’t worry as the florist will be able to offer expert advice.

Match colours with your wedding dress

If you already have your wedding dress and your colour themes in mind; try to take a picture of the dress or a sample of the colours with you when you go to the florist. This will let you consider the best match to your theme and style.  It will also give the florist an idea regarding what flowers could be used and what fresh flowers  they will need for your big day. Some brides prefer not to have all fresh flowers as you may want to keep your bouquet or some of the arrangements as mementos.

Make a list of your needs

You will need to take a list of who needs what flowers to your florist if you have not previously discussed this with them.

Interview florists

To find a good florist in Glasgow the best thing to do is give your potential florist an ‘interview’. The shop itself can tell you a lot about their skill and how organised they are.  Do you know anyone else who has used that particular florist? Does the florist have any certificates in floristry and do they have staff members who can help them prepare your wedding flowers? Can your potential florist get flowers that are not run of the mill or can the florist only get roses and other such common flowers – some people want more exotic bouquets and need a florist that can provide these.  Do they come with recommendations and have you seen testimonials from some of their previous clients? All these types of potential questions could give you a better picture of how the florist will handle your wedding and your wedding flowers.

It’s also useful to have thought about and decided on your budget. The florist will be able to advise you about what your money can buy.  It’s not always the case that the most expensive is the best or looks the most sensational or even fits in with what you have in mind.  If you give your flowers some thought and get a good florist then your wedding flowers will be wonderful.
