When to Orderwedding

To ensure that you have the best experience, it is best to start discussing your floral arrangements with your florist as soon as possible. Consider the following factors when ordering wedding flowers:

  • Guest List/Venue Size – The amount of centerpieces you will need is dependent upon the size of your venue and how many guests or tables you have.
  • What kind of flowers you want- Before heading to the florist, do some research on what type of flowers you want at your wedding.

Ordering in advance will ensure that you have time to coordinate your flowers with the venue and wedding apparel.
