I'm finally going to meet with florists tomorrow - any specific questions that I need to ask or find out about? Photographers and djs were so easy, I know I'm gonna have some sort of problems with flowers - TIA!

Re: Florist ?'s
When I met with florists I brought pictures (that I found on these boards!) of the kind of Bo-K and centerpieces I was looking for. I know each florists also asked me about the flowers for my bridal party, if I needed any for the cake, ceremony, etc. I would ask them about their pricing, whether you have to pay a traveling fee, ask to see their vases/candelabras. Overall I felt bringing pictures along really sped things through.

Bring pics of what you like if you can! I think thats the BEST idea. Also if you have a budget, ask if they charge for different types of flowers etc and how much. Know if you want high or low CPs and how many bo-ks and bouts, remember grandparents, readers etc..
I wanted pinks and really didnt care what kind of flower and roses were pretty cheap so I just did that.

Take pictures with you, its always helpful the florist could get a fell of your style and make suggestions to compliment. Also your color scheme can be helpful beacuse by that you can determine what flowers and in what colors you can use.
Flowers are not that hard as long as you have a florist that is willing to work with you can and share in your vision.
