Begu hopes to follow in the footsteps of 2016 champion Simona Halep in keeping the title on home soil after her 7-5 7-5 success over the Spaniard.
The 26-year-old has three career wins on tour but is looking for a first in 2017.
Ana Bogdan briefly threatened to make it an all-Romanian final but lost her three-set clash with Germany's Goerges 3-6 6-2 6-4.
At the Ladies Championship in Gstaad, Holland's Kiki Bertens is aiming to go one better than her runners-up finish last year.
The number two seed won her first set against Sara Sorribes Tormo 6-1 and the latter then retired with a wrist injury at the start of the second set.
Estonian third seed Anett Kontaveit is Bertens' opponent after beating Tereza Martincova 6-4 6-1 to book her third final of the season.
