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 or when you order your girls dresses. 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.
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 if
you have it.
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.
