Question

How early did you order your wedding flowers from a florist?

Answer 1

From what I have been told it will vary from the size of the wedding and the season. Also if the florist is a small shop they will need to have more time then the larger stores. Don't forget that flowers are not always in season.

Answer 2

I'm getting married in 10 weeks and have only just ordered my flowers a few days ago. My florist considered this ample time however I had spoken to her previously about what sort of flowers I wanted. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I work in a flower shop and schedule a lot of wedding consultations. Usually, people book weddings about a year in advance. They go in and meet with the florist and discuss their wants, and the florist writes it all down in a designated folder. Then he/she writes the date on a calendar to remember it. Its best to get it done early to ensure the florist doesn't have many other weddings the day of your wedding. But, if its a small wedding with only a few bouquets and a couple bouts/corsages, you can order it up to a week before the date (: good luck!
