Any questions I should ask a florist?

Question

Other than the basic contract details? I know virtually nothing about flowers and am just starting to meet with some florists..

Also, I love the rose petals down the aisle look.. Does anyone know where I can find something similar and still keep the look?

Please help with this question too! I posted it yesterday and got no answers..

Answer 1

Make sure to ask your venue their policy on rose petals. Sometimes the real ones can stain the floor and they don't allow it. I think your best bet is to try Michaels for some fake rose petals. Or you can try Save-on-crafts.com and look at their freeze dried rose petals:

As for the florist - if you are trying to do things on a budget then you can ask her what flowers she recommends. Most of the time carnations and gerbera daisies are very affordable. You can ask what flowers are in season around the time of your wedding, etc.  

Answer 2

paper roses, they work all the time
