florist meeting - what should i ask?

Off top of my head:

When you pay a deposit.

What time on the day you can expect the flowers.

Whether they deliver or you would have to collect.

Ooo thank you, I never thought of those at all!

1. How long have they been making wedding arrangements?

2. What style do they specialize in -- modern, traditional, romantic, etc.?

3. Can I see a portfolio of their work?

4. Are they familiar with my ceremony and reception location?

5. How do they charge for their services -- a flat fee or per-item fee?

6. What is the cost of each item: bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, etc.?

7. Can the florist also provide an aisle runner, candles, candlesticks/holders, trellises, potted plants, etc.?

8. Can they work within my budget?

9. How far in advance will they make my bouquet and centerpieces?

10. Will the florist make a sample bouquet and centerpiece for me to see?

11. When will the flowers be delivered? Is there a delivery fee?
