Do's: what to lean into

Choose seasonal flowers

In-season blooms are fresher, more affordable, and more sustainable. Ask your florist what is peaking around your date.

Bring visual references

Pinterest boards, color swatches, and fabric samples help your florist understand your aesthetic quickly.

Discuss repurposing

Ceremony arrangements can move to the reception. Bridesmaids' bouquets can double as table centerpieces.

Set a clear budget

Be upfront about your budget. A good florist can work within constraints and suggest alternatives.

Don'ts: what trips people up

Don't fixate on one specific bloom

If peonies are out of season, forcing them in will cost a premium. Trust your florist's alternatives.

Don't forget setup and teardown time

Florals need time to install. Confirm logistics with your venue and florist together.

Don't overlook greenery

Greenery-heavy arrangements are beautiful, affordable, and photograph well.

Don't wait too long to book

Popular florists book 6-12 months out for peak wedding season.
