Getting married? Congratulations! This is a very exciting time of planning and waiting for the big day. As you make all the important decisions regarding budget, venue and theme for your wedding, there is one element that you will want to pay special attention to because it will set the tone for your entire wedding - your flowers. Flowers can make a wedding chic and modern, fun and festive or any combination of these. Today's wedding flower choices are only limited by the bride's imagination and budget. Every color, shape, size and style of flower is available and can help turn your wedding day into the fairy tale you always wanted.

It can be overwhelming to think about what flowers you would like for your wedding with all the choices you need to make to ensure your wedding day is spectacular while you still stay within your budget. And, for anyone thinking it's a great idea to do your own flowers to save money and get your creative groove on, you'll wan to think again. Doing your own flowers is very time consuming and if you don't know what you're doing, you could destroy your flowers and double your expenses as you end up working with a florist in the end anyway.

Once you have made the wise decision to let a florist do your wedding flowers for you, it's time to get to work with this skilled professional and design the wedding look of your dreams. Experienced florists are a wealth if information and ideas and the best ones will be able to shape your vision into a reality. Better yet, if you are clueless about flower choices and design, your florist can add the artistic touch you need to really personalize your wedding flowers and create a unique floral element all your own. Before you sign on the dotted line, you will want to ask a few questions as you "interview" your florists to help decide who will be the best for your needs and budget.

Here are five questions every bride should ask her bridal florist:

1. Can you work within my budget and what do brides typically spend for your services?
2. What types of flowers do you suggest for the time of year/size/venue/style of my wedding?
3. What sort of guarantee do I have that my flowers will get to me on my wedding day?
4. Can you provide references for your happy customers?
5. If my budget or needs should change before my wedding, can you be flexible at all?

Your wedding flowers are an integral and highly-visible part of your wedding and you want to do everything you can to make sure the florist you choose will work with you to make your wedding beautiful while making your experience as stress-free as possible.
