Flowers are a vital part of your special day so it is important that you plan ahead of time and stick to the timelines. Delaying wedding flowers till the eleventh hour can take away the option of choosing the flowers you want and even ruin your décor and theme.

So, here are the important timelines to keep in mind.

12 months before the wedding

Begin your research and start looking for florists to check who you might want to work with for your big day. As soon as you know the date of your wedding, start exploring ideas for your wedding flowers so you can carry it with you for your first appointment with a florist. Discuss the theme of the wedding, the colors you would like to see, and your budget.

6 months before your wedding

Hire the florist. Start selecting the arrangements and flowers you would like in your wedding. Check out online for wedding flowers to share specifics with your florist. Picture prints outs and vision boards are a great idea!

3-4 months before your wedding

Once you have finalized your contract and wedding flower plans, start picking the flowers, style and size of arrangements, and all the other details. Carry a checklist and ensure you haven’t missed anything. Talk to your florist a few weeks before the wedding to make sure everything is ready! Sticking to these timelines can take your celebration to the next level.
