Watch carefully on how you were received, if the person assigned to you gave you the assistance you needed, giving suggestions, opinions and ideas. If you were left alone with wedding bouquets catalog, just leave, this place isn’t the right one.
Take a good look
Have a good look in the inside of the shop. How look the arrangements in pot? Are they fresh and nicely made, without having too much decorations. Are the colors harmonizing with each other? Watch with attention propositions in the catalog. What is your first impression? Are the compositions having something unique to distinguish them, either all of them look alike? Decide if you want to have similar wedding bouquet.
Matching the bouquet

Did she ask you for the photo of your gown, groom’s clothing color, bridesmaids, reception hall and church decorations? Is she able to explain which flowers will suit you best, accentuate your type of beauty and personality? Is she able to explain which style of bouquet will look best with gown and accessories you’ve chosen? Were you asked about your personal favourite flowers? A good florist is able to listen with attention to the client requests and to understand the “likes” and “dislikes” of the future spouse.
The budget planning
