Your professional florist can guide you through your entire wedding floral ordering process.  A great florist will not only help you choose your floral decorations but will also educate you throughout the entire process, customizing your desires and tailoring them to your specifications.  She or he will walk you through, step by step, the major decisions such as color scheme, floral selection, floral theme and budgetary concerns.

1. •DO incorporate your personal style into your ceremony and reception floral scheme.
   

2. •DO expect to pay a deposit to reserve your wedding date.  Your deposit is often non-refundable, but will be applied to your wedding order.  You may also be required to sign a contract to process and fill your wedding order.  This contract will most likely be mailed to you following the receipt of your deposit.
   

3. •DO tell your florist if you or any member of your wedding party has any specific floral or foliage allergies
   

4. •DO be open to alternate suggestions from your floral professional.  Sometimes, one look can be achieved in a multitude of ways.
   

5. •DON’T overdo a theme.  The key is tasteful and understated.
   

6. •DO make sure your contract outlines all the duties and responsibilities you expect your florist to perform.  Often, an additional fee may be incurred if you want your florist to service or deliver your wedding.
   

7. •DO keep in mind that you may pay a premium price for your wedding flowers if your wedding coincides with a holiday (i.e. Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas, etc).  Additionally, keep in mind that some churches will not perform wedding ceremonies during “holy” times of the year.
