When do you make appts to pick a florist?? I think my wedding planning book said 6-9 months before. Does that hold true?

Re: Florist timeline
For me personally, I couldn't wait that long to book...especially if you had a particular florist in mind and wanted to definitely use them. We booked our florist the beginning of November and our wedding is next December.

I signed my contract with Hidden Essence 11/26/11 for 9/15/12. I say find your vendors, sign the contract and check it off the list.

I did mine last in October, but I did not need CP's. But I would certainly start to get an idea of who you want to see. They typically don't book up too fast..but you never know.

If you have someone in particular then check them out before someone else books them. I booked mine a year in advance, but I think the latest to wait is 6 months.

Re: Florist timeline
I might go early because so many vendors I go to say they are booked already for certain days in 2013. Sheesh!

exactly!! It's crazy just HOW EARLY they do book, so that if you DO have a specific vendor you def. want to use, you should just go and do it! FH didn't believe how early things booked up.

We booked about a year in advance but I wasn't certain about what I wanted and changed my mind more than once. Just make sure they are flexible with you! Love Michelle from Hidden Essence.

Re: Florist timeline
I made florist appts for this month for my Oct 2013 wedding. I was going to wait until after the new year but I want to know what I'll be spending on flowers and centerpieces already so I don't want to wait. I really think its never too early. If there is someone your interested in, go check them out. Lots of things are booking up for 2013 already so I can imagine for 2012. Good luck!

Re: Florist timeline
Our wedding is 9/7/12 & we booked our florist in the beginning of November.
This was the one vendor we shopped around on the most so I wouldn't put it off until 6 months before...
