Your big day is something that you dreamed of ever since, and to make it really wonderful and special as you dream of it, you will need to hire the best person expert in the said field. For your wedding flowers or event flowers, the flower delivery company from a professional florist can be your best option. If you are not aware, you might be getting poor services at a pricey and expensive price tag. Here are 10 ways to avoid getting screwed by your florist for your picture-perfect wedding day:
- Decide whether you will hire a florist in Singapore for the event or not. If you are hiring one, plan for the theme and the desired floral decorations first, and stick to that. Some florists usually give suggestions, but beware because they may only want huge profit from you.
- Talk to several florists before you finally choose the right person. A simple interview may give you enough hints whether the one is more reliable than the other.
- Visit the florist and see what styles of designs she is focusing at. As much as possible, do not discuss your own ideas first. Check the portfolios of previous works.
- Determine your budget and stick to it. A good online florist will find a way to maximize the design even on tight budget.
- If the florist insists that you need expensive flowers just to make the design beautiful for the big day, consider what the other florists will say before you make your final decisions.
- Local flowers are always available. Get the best flowers from local flower shop Singapore and save on cost.
- There are seasonal flowers that are better than the imported ones, but if the florist will insist on giving you a certain type of seasonal flower that is out of season, expect that the cost is expensive. Choose from other seasonal flowers available. They are also as great for the hand bouquet or for the centerpieces.
- If you need petals for the wedding flower basket, do not buy them from the florist. Instead, buy the discounted flowers from the grocery and rip the petals by yourself. Ripping them may cost you additional $10 or more from the florist.
- Check for hidden charges. The delivery fees are usually not included in the agreed price.
- Visit your florist from time to time to discuss your chosen style. Having her visit you at your place will incur you additional charges, aside from the cost of the services for the flower delivery you need on your big day.
