Questions to Ask About Florists

• Can you see photographs or live examples of his or her work?
• Does the florist's style and the overall look and feel of the shop jive with your own?
• Does the florist seem knowledgeable about less expensive or creative alternatives, the best flowers for the season, etc?
• Is the florist familiar with your ceremony and reception sites?
• Will the florist drop off arrangements on the day of your wedding, or will he or she take time to set up and make sure everything is where it should be?
• How many people are on staff, and how many will be assigned to your wedding?
• How many wedding will the florist be designing for the same weekend as your wedding?
• What kind of containers and rental items does the florist offer (vases, plants, arches, candelabras) or do you need to rent them elsewhere?
• Does the fee include cleanup or is this additional? Are flowers donated to charity after the event?

Colorumunki Beta Tester

Sorry it's been such a long time since I've updated the blog. Summer has been just crazy and I haven't had much time. A while back, I was asked by X-Rite/Pantone to be a beta tester for a new color management device that they were working on. After signing a nondisclosure agreement, a handful of other people and myself were sent the device and told to wait for instructions. I wasn't quite sure what all it was supposed to do when I got it, but soon after I got an email with my instructions and software.

"Meet ColorMunki. The do everything, go everywhere tool that lets you capture, create, calibrate, and communicate any color in the visible spectrum."
It's pretty cool. You can calibrate and profile your displays, printers, and projectors. You can also use it to measure spot colors and ambient light. It's a pretty sweet all-in-one color management tool. The price isn't too bad either, around $500. If you have any questions about my experiences with the ColoruMunki or color management, shoot me an email. Because I was a tester, I get to keep the device. Therefore, I'm selling a Display 2 if anyone wants it.
