Essex wedding florist Simply Stunning Flowers gives its expert advice

Victoria Makepeace of Simply Stunning Flowers gives us her top tips for booking your wedding flowers...

- Get inspiration from different florists, event companies, magazines and online, as this will help you realise what you want, and most importantly, what you don't.

- With good florists in high demand, get your date booked as early as possible. Changes can still be made in the run-up, as the flowers won't actually be ordered until around ten days prior to the event.

- Follow a shortlist of florists on social media to ensure you like the way they work and their style fits with yours. Then, get in contact and arrange a consultation to chat and see their working surroundings. For example, my workshop is very rustic so you can expect to be sitting among leaves and floral debris, but you'll see where my inspiration comes from.
