Choosing a florist

I think it's important to read any reviews on the florists before you pick. I've made our bouquets from artificial flowers, and am buying roses from Cosco to put in the centrepieces. I ordered flowers for the men and for my future mother-in-law at the beginning of the year from a site called Wish. Everything is shipped from Asia and you do have to give them 2 months to arrive, but the prices were great.

I just booked my florist a month ago and what we did was get the preferred vendors from the venue and we also looked at florists in the area on weddingwire since they usually have approximate pricing and then I went and looked at their websites, instagrams and facebook pages to see the one that had a similar style to what I had in mind. And then I asked the one's I liked for a quote for what I wanted. I would suggest you figure out the basics of what you want like type of bouquet (round, cascade, composite etc) what do you want for centrepieces high or low and how many.

I'm also getting married in Banff and unsure about choosing a florist - or perhaps ordering flowers from Costco in Calgary and doing it myself? Please let me know who you decide to go with!

I would say to find a budget you are comfortable with and some flower inspiration ides and find a florist that can work with those parameters but can also give you ideas and/or suggestions.
