A wedding in Quebec is for many couples the most important day of their life. It has to be perfect. A lot of issues have to be considered to make this happen. That includes hiring a skilled florist from Montreal.  There are several ways to determine the talents of a professional. Asking lots of questions is the most efficient approach.

Questions for potential florists

1. Do you have a design philosophy? Creating eye-catching floral arrangements is an art. Florists are proud of their work, especially when they use a specific style. Make sure that you like their techniques, as well as the flowers used in those designs.
2. Can you show me pictures of your work? Every talented artist maintains a portfolio. Examples of past creations are the easiest way to convince customers of their skills if no live examples are at the store.
3. How many wedding assignments have you completed? Experience counts.
4. Can you give me referrals? Satisfied customers gladly give recommendations.
5. Which flowers do you recommend for my wedding? Take a list of details along, such as the color of the wedding dress, the location of the ceremony and reception, etc. Not all flower types may be available or affordable at the time of the wedding.  Be open to suggestions to maximize your options.
6. Can you preserve my bouquet after the wedding? That should be no problem for an experienced florist from Montreal. If the shop is too busy, the staff should be able to provide names of other experts in the industry. Time is of the essence when preserving flowers.
7. How much do you charge? Supply a list of all the necessary bouquets, flower arrangements, boutonnieres, and table center pieces. Ask for a written quote. Compare the estimates from the various florists you approached. Make sure that they are all mentioning the same types of flowers and greenery.
8. Are you available on my wedding day? There are only so many hours in a day. You may be out of luck when the florist already accepted several other orders for that day.
