Frequently asked questions
Who writes the guides on Flower Designer Italia?
Our editorial team, starting from official sources where needed (laws, rules set by public bodies and town councils) and from the experience of people who work in events. Figures without a source are always given as indicative.
Do the guides apply to the whole of Italy?
Yes, with one caveat: the rules of churches, town councils and venues change from place to place, and flower seasons differ between North and South. Always check with whoever sets the rules and with your floral designer.
Which guide should I start with?
The one on wedding flower costs and the one on how to choose a floral designer: together they explain the items in a quote and the questions to ask.
