Traditional & Custom Wedding Ceremonies

Flowers are likely to be a festive part of your celebrations, both during your ceremony and at your reception site. As with other aspects of the wedding business, you and your fiance have a wide array of choices in terms of whether to use flowers, for what parts of the celebration, and what flowers to use. The three types of flowers you will likely want to consider are:

• Flowers to be worn and/or carried
• Flowers for the ceremony site
• Flowers for the reception

Ordering Flowers

Several months before the wedding, ask friends and family for florist recommendations (link to our advertisers). Make appointments to visit several to view photos of their past work. Once you have decided on a florist, provide him/her with a description or picture of your gown, the bridesmaids' gowns (you could also bring fabric swatches), your wedding style and any preferences for your flowers. Don't be afraid to ask the florist for suggestions; you are buying his/her expertise as well as the flowers themselves.

Florist Contract

As with other wedding services, be sure to get a written contract from the florist detailing the services and flowers to be provided. Be sure the contract specifies whether (and when) the florist: will deliver flowers; will do set-up at the ceremony and reception site; will preserve your fresh flowers and if so, at what additional costs. Also ask for a receipt for any deposit made and terms for final payment.
