Florist Question and other junk

At what point do you go back to your florist to discuss centerpieces?

We booked our florist almost a year ago when we still weren't sure of the color scheme. Now that we know what we want, should we go back? Do they need color swatches?

Also... the BM dresses came in on Monday!! FH and I are going tomorrow to see them and pick out tuxes. Annnnnd today is the 100 day mark!!

Yay!!! Congrats!

I would give the florist a call. I feel like when I booked they told me i wouldn't need to come in until 2 months before the wedding to discuss things further. Bring in color swatches and pics if you have. It will make it easier

I booked in Sept or somewhere around there and went last month and saw my centerpieces and bo-k's. I say talk to your florist and see what they suggest. If they dont have any suggestions, just make an appointment and get another thing out of your way.

Re: Florist Question and other junk

I went to my florist a few times before actually seeing my centerpiece, which was last week. They were really helpful since I changed my flower ideas at least 5 times

It helps to bring a swatch this way they can recommend flowers that will go well with the dresses. You also dont want to see your centerpieces to early because the flowers you pick may not be in season. Good Luck!!!!

Re: Florist Question and other junk

I booked last year and I went back in Mid March to finalize things and then I will go back next week to pay and finalize finalize everything. If you are not sure about colors dont go until you decide.
