She always makes sure to find out what color gowns and dresses we will be showing at our fashion shows and she makes the most perfectly-matching bouquets ever! Her arrangements are always so unique and special. Each one is done with heart! I love everything she does and suggest her to every bride!
CKAS Events & Weddings, LLC	Allyson of Davis Florist is very talented with her floral designs. She's also very courteous, professional, and loves to share her knowledge. I very much look forward to working with her.
Sandi Foraci Photography	Allyson's floral designs are some of the best I have ever seen. The thing that impresses me most about her work, is her fresh and unique style. Her arrangements are top knotch...just beautiful. Always fresh flowers, and never the same look, which tells me she really works with her brides to give them what they want. No two bouquets are the same. Her personality is so easy going and she's such a hard worker. You just can't go wrong.

How far in advance should I contact the florist when ordering wedding flowers? Flowers are one of the most important aspects of your wedding day. They set the mood and tone for the event and will be remembered for years to come. Many florists can accept only a set number of weddings on a given day, so it is important to contact your florist well in advance to begin planning. A good rule of thumb is to contact your florist at least three months in advance. However, if your wedding is going to be an exceptionally elaborate event, take place during peak wedding season or fall on a holiday, then six months to a year is not too soon to contact your florist. This will allow the florist to begin looking for any props or specialty items you might need. Wedding flowers can be highly specific and colors often have to be very precise, so florists need advance notice to place flower orders. Will a florist work within my budget? Yes. Be honest about your budget on the initial consultation so the florist knows what to recommend. By taking your budget into consideration from the very beginning of the planning process, the florist can give you the best advise on how to place the flowers for maximum effect and what types of flowers will be the best value to achieve your desired look. Is it okay to visit several florists to get estimates? What should I bring to the flower shop when I have my wedding consultation? The more information you can provide the better your florist will be prepared to offer creative suggestions. Your florist will want to create a spectacular and memorable event for you. Anything you can bring will be beneficial. Pictures that depict what you have in mind are extremely helpful. Bring a photo of your dress and a sample of the fabric or lace if you have it, as well as swatches and photos of the bridesmaids' dresses. Also think about what "style" of wedding you want. If you are not sure, your florist can offer suggestions based on your wedding plans so far.

Working with a Florist. Contact your florist once you've selected the date, time and place for your wedding and reception. If you aren't familiar with the florists in your area, ask for recommendations from other brides, reception halls or churches. If possible, set up an appointment with the lead designer who will be in charge of filling the order for your wedding flowers. Look through bridal books and floral guides. Sketch ideas, cut out pictures or take photographs of flowers you like and share them with your florist. Seeing your ideas and personal style will help your florist translate your concepts and special requests into workable floral designs and arrangements that are just right for you. It will be helpful if you know the colors and style of the gowns you and your bridesmaids will be wearing. Bring pictures of your gown and the bridesmaids dresses, along with swatches of fabric if you have them available. During your initial consultation with your florist, discuss specific design ideas that fit both your personal style and budget. Make arrangements for your florist to visit both the ceremony and reception sites. The following are suggested questions to ask when consulting with a wedding florist: What are the current bridal styles and how do you see them being used in my wedding? What are some of the new and exciting flower varieties and are they available in the colors I have selected for my wedding? What flowers will be in season at the time of my wedding? What flowers are available that will be used to fill my order based upon my budget and color preferences? Do you have pictures of arrangements from other weddings you've done at my wedding ceremony/reception site? What size, shape and colors work best at my ceremony/reception site? Will there be sufficient staff to design the arrangements for my wedding and have them delivered on time? How will the flowers be handled, delivered and set-up, taking into consideration the weather constraints for my wedding? Do you preserve bouquets after the wedding? Is there an additional charge for delivery, set-up and servicing my wedding? How are these charges determined? Do you offer rental items (vases, urns, etc.) or do we need to rent them from another company? Are there any extra fees (delivery, set-up, sales tax, etc.)?
