What to expect from a floral consultation
It’s a working conversation
A consultation is not a presentation. It is a discussion that defines direction. You do not need a finished brief — references are useful, but not essential.
Context comes first
Venue, timing, and guest numbers shape everything. A long-table reception requires a different floral rhythm to a formal seated event. Outdoor ceremonies introduce different constraints again.
Defining tone and structure
Rather than focusing on colour alone, a florist will guide you through overall feel — loose, structured, minimal, or sculptural — and how that translates into arrangements.
Budget is addressed early
Budget is discussed in terms of allocation, not itemisation.
The goal is to prioritise areas of visual impact.
Flexibility is built in
Final flower selections are refined closer to the date. The design intent remains consistent, even as materials shift seasonally.
