How to choose your Austin wedding florist

10 Questions to Ask Every Florists

Before you book, sit down with each candidate and work through these questions. The answers will tell you everything you need to know about fit, professionalism, and value.

1. Can you share examples of weddings you've done in our style and color palette?
2. Do you work with locally sourced or seasonal flowers?
3. What's your approach to staying within our floral budget?
4. Do you handle ceremony, reception, and personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres)?
5. Can you repurpose ceremony arrangements for the reception?
6. Do you provide rental items like vases, arches, and stands?
7. How do you handle flower availability — what if a specific bloom isn't in season?
8. Do you do venue setup and breakdown?
9. What's your pricing model — per arrangement, flat fee, or custom?
10. Can you incorporate succulents, dried flowers, or non-traditional elements?

Austin-Specific Tips

These tips are based on the realities of planning in Austin and the Texas Hill Country, not generic national advice.

• Texas wildflowers (bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush) bloom March-April and make stunning seasonal arrangements.
• Succulents and native plants are affordable, heat-resistant, and perfectly Austin.
• For outdoor summer weddings, ask about flower varieties that hold up in heat — some blooms wilt quickly over 90 degrees.
• Greenery-heavy designs (eucalyptus, olive branch, ferns) are on-trend and often more budget-friendly than all-flower arrangements.
• Discuss repurposing — ceremony arch flowers can become sweetheart table arrangements to save budget.
