Organic garden style, sculptural installation and classic arrangement read very differently in a room. Choose a studio whose past work matches the feeling you want, then talk palette and season.
Specific blooms come and go through the year, and out of season flowers cost more and travel less well. The best florists steer you toward what is at its peak on your date, which lifts the result and steadies the budget.
Large installations need build and strike time, ladders, rigging and a crew. For a destination wedding, confirm whether the studio travels or partners with a local team to source and build on site.
