How far in advance should I contact the florist when ordering wedding flowers?
Flowers are one of the most important aspects of most wedding celebrations. Flowrs set the mood and tone for the event that will be captured in photos and videos and remembered for years to come. Many florists will handle only a specific number of weddings on any given day. Therefore 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 of the wedding day. 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 time window will allow the florist to begin looking for any 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.
