First of all your florist must be familiar with the venue. This ranges from the style of the venue and the space available, right through to logistical information such as access times and key contacts.

Apart from a higher quality of design and product, one of the main things that separates a professional event florist from your average florist is the level of service. You should expect your event florist to be available in person for a professional consultation, provide you with a detailed written quote, and deliver exactly what is promised. A professional event florist will provide exceptional creative ideas and work to provide maximum value within a set brief and budget.

It almost goes without saying that you should choose a supplier that produces work of the highest quality. That should be fairly easy to ascertain from viewing their portfolio, but also ask for testimonials of their event clients and obtain their contact details as talking to their clients will give you a real understanding of the level of service they provide.

Expect an event florist to deliver and set up anywhere. They should respect that you are dealing with one of many suppliers, and be flexible in meeting your needs, timings and availability.

You can count on a professional event florist to help you in any way possible to achieve a successful event. At the end of the day they should be a silent partner and understand that their work is a reflection of you.
