1. Does Their Style Match Your Vision?

Your florist’s style should align with your wedding aesthetic.

When browsing their portfolio, consider whether their previous work matches what you envision. Do they specialize in lush, fine art arrangements or prefer modern, minimalist designs? A florist who aligns with your preferred style will be better equipped to bring your vision to life. At The Flowerslinger we do a range of styles which you can explore in Our Portfolio Here.

2. Do They Showcase Real Weddings?

A portfolio of real weddings demonstrates experience and passion.

Styled shoots are beautiful but controlled environments. Real weddings, however, show how a florist handles the logistics and creative challenges of live events. Look for florists who regularly share their work from real weddings—it’s a sign they are proud of their designs and dedicated to their craft. You Can Explore The Flowerslinger Real Weddings Here

3. Can They Do Bloom Forward and Minimal With The Same Impact?

A florist’s skill is truly revealed in how they handle both bloom-forward and minimalist designs. With many blooms, their ability to balance texture and depth shows in how they create harmony with variety. In minimal designs, the focus shifts to precision—each stem must feel intentional. Mastering both approaches demonstrates a designer’s versatility and understanding of how to evoke emotion, whether using a lush arrangement or a few carefully placed flowers.

At The Flowerslinger we think both styles can be equally elegant and impactful in the right context as shown from lush and minimal approaches from real weddings below.

4. Do They Use Floral Foam?

Foam-free florists prioritize sustainability and organic design.Foam-free techniques also result in arrangements that feel more natural, organic, and dynamic. By working without foam, we can create designs that are alive with movement and uniquely sculptural, giving your event florals an aesthetic edge that sets them apart from the ordinary.

Floral foam is harmful to the environment and limits the natural flow of designs. Foam-free arrangements are better for the planet and often result in more natural, artistic creations. If sustainability and modern design practices are important to you, ask your florist about their stance on foam-free techniques. At The Flowerslinger we have been 100% foam-free from day one allowing our studio to explore alternate techniques that make us unique in floral design–like the foam free installation in the image below.

5. Do They Repeat the Same Designs?

Every wedding is unique, and your florals should reflect that.

Browse their portfolio to see if their designs look repetitive. While a consistent style is expected, your wedding deserves a fresh approach. A florist who tailors each design to the couple ensures your arrangements will feel one-of-a-kind, not like a copy of past events. At The Flowersligner while we do believe that repetition is reputation that applies to the overall approach and feeling of a studio. We customize florals and the approach for each individual client.  Explore Our Portfolio Here to take a closer look.
