Top Tips for Finding a Great Florist for Your Sydney Wedding



While the choice of wedding venue does much of the heavy lifting when it comes to wowing guests, decorations are certainly not far behind. They can add a bit of personality and flair to the traditional proceedings, as well as enhancing the venue’s beauty.

Flowers are popularly used as wedding decorations because they not only look good, but smell good too. However, because they are living plants that have to be cared for up until the big day, it is important to find a florist who looks after their stock well. It is their job to ensure that the flowers are looking their best when they are delivered for the ceremony. Flowers arrangements can add significantly to wedding costs, and flowers which have been cared-for poorly will show it. 

Here are some tips you can use to find a reliable wedding florist near you in Sydney, Australia.

Prioritise reputation and experience

The length of time that any business has operated is a good general indicator of how valuable people find it, especially if it has operated under the same management for a long time. This is true for flower delivery in Sydney, too. When there are lots of different florists to choose from, taking a few minutes to research how long they have been in business is often a good way to whittle down your options.

Now that you have an idea of which florists are generally reliable, it is also wise to check whether people’s recent experiences with them also reflect that. Fortunately, it only takes a quick web search nowadays to find some reviews.

Find out where they source their flowers

There are some big players in the Australian flower market, and some have been caught disguising themselves behind small, independent-looking storefronts. It is not necessarily bad to buy your flowers from these, and they may offer better prices, but they are also less incentivised to care about your big day. Small, local florists are much more dependent on maintaining a good reputation, especially if they are family-owned and are planning to have future generations inherit the business. 

Check their restocking schedule

Even with the greatest care, flowers can only live for so long before they wither and die. Their beauty fades gradually, often starting quite a while before they die, and some florists will hold onto flowers for a while after this process has started in the hope that an order will come in. That might be good for them, but as a customer it means that the flowers you receive will not be looking their best. Favour florists with a relatively short restocking schedule. This will also help you to know whether they are doing much business or not. 

Conclusion

Flowers make excellent decorations for a number of special occasions, but the fact that they are organic, living things presents some challenges that other types of decorations do not. While they are easy to dispose of after the event, in the lead-up they need to be very well looked-after so that they arrive looking bright and fresh on the day. Some florists are better able to do this than others. With these three simple tips, you can make sure that you get one of the best.
