How far in advance should I book a wedding florist?
Six to nine months prior to your wedding date is more than enough time to schedule your florist. We may on occasion be able to accommodate small wedding orders with as little as four weeks notice.
What is the average cost of ceremony and reception flowers?
According to a leading bridal publication, the average bride spends 15-25% of their total wedding budget on flowers. Your flower budget depends entirely on your style, and what is most important to you on your wedding day. For some brides the food and music are of utmost importance, for another bride it’s all about the wedding gown, the photography and the flowers. But most brides agree that flowers play an important role in creating the ambience for their special day more colorful.
