Compare San Miguel florists by the work your spaces actually need: ceremony flowers, bouquets, table arrangements and any structures or hanging pieces. A studio that shows reception tables may not quote the same installation work as one building a large ceremony feature.

Share your venue, ceremony and reception schedule, and any church or historic-property rules. Ask each florist to separate flowers, structures, delivery, setup and removal in the proposal, and agree on substitutions before booking.

Local planning notes

What to compare in a floral proposal

Venue rules

Check permissions for attachments, structures, candles and hanging pieces before approving the design. Confirm access and removal times at both ceremony and reception spaces.

Comparable quotes

Separate bouquets, ceremony pieces, tables, structures, transport, setup and removal. Ask which vessels are rented, who returns them and how breakage is charged.

Flowers and changes

Define the palette and overall shape, then agree in writing on flower substitutions, when the order is finalized and which changes affect the price.

Frequently asked questions

When should I contact florists?

Once you have a venue and a likely date, ask about availability and when a deposit holds that date. Lead times differ by studio and by the complexity of the installation.

Are delivery, installation and removal included?

Do not assume so. Request separate line items and confirm venue access times, the person responsible for structures and whether late-night or next-day removal costs extra.

What if the exact flowers in my inspiration photos are unavailable?

Agree on the palette, shape and acceptable substitutions in writing. Ask which stems are essential, when the final selection is confirmed and whether a change affects the price.
