Wedding scope and floral direction

Plan wedding flowers in San Francisco

Share the date, location, flower list, style, and budget. A florist will review the details and tell you what they can provide before anything is booked.

A request starts a conversation. It does not reserve the date.

A couple compares a bridal bouquet, a wrapped flower gift, and a table arrangement.
Use the scene to distinguish wedding flower roles. It does not represent a package, venue relationship, or reserved date.

Begin with the date and place

The florist needs the wedding date, venue or destination, ceremony and reception timing, and the right person to contact.

  • Wedding date
  • Venue or destination
  • Ceremony and reception timing
  • Contact person
  • Details still being decided

If the venue is not final, share the area you are considering.

Include alternate dates or times if the schedule can move.

Make a rough flower list

Exact counts can come later. Start with the pieces you already expect to need.

  1. Bouquets and other personal flowers
  2. Ceremony flowers
  3. Reception flowers and any installations

Mark any pieces you are still considering.

Show the look you have in mind

Share colors, reference images, favorite flowers, and anything you want to avoid.

  • Color palette
  • Overall style
  • Favorite flowers
  • Flowers or colors to avoid
  • Overall budget

Use photos to show direction, not to require an exact copy.

The florist may suggest changes based on season, budget, or availability.

Clarify the service around the flowers

Larger plans may involve delivery, setup, transfers, pickup, vessels, or structures. Ask what the florist can include.

  1. Delivery and setup responsibilities
  2. Ceremony-to-reception transfers
  3. Pickup, vessels, or structures

Only the responding florist can confirm these services.

Send the wedding details

A useful first request includes the date, place, rough flower list, style, budget, and any service you may need.

  • Date and location
  • Flower list or rough quantities
  • Colors and inspiration
  • Budget
  • Delivery, setup, or pickup needs

Submitting a request does not reserve the date or book a florist. Review the proposal before payment.
