A paid wedding floral consultation should feel intentional, structured, and valuable. The presentation should feel elevated, more than the template in your stem counter software package. This is where your experience and expertise can shine, especially when paired with a savvy planner. This meeting allows the couple to envision the overall ambiance, including floral enhancements and professional design direction. Remember, the planner is already on the clock; you should be, too.
It sets the tone for the entire client relationship. This can ensure you're always informed of changes quickly, and with time to adjust.
