Florists - what do I need?

I have my very first florist appointment on Saturday and I want to be prepared when they ask what I'm looking for. So far I've come up with a list but don't know if I'm forgetting anything.

Table centerpieces
Flower stands for ceremony aisle(I want to try to use some of the CPs for the cermony?)
Arrangement for sweetheart table
Bride bouquet
MOH bouquet
5 BM bouquets
6 Boutonnieres (4 GM, 2 Dads)
3 Corsages (2 moms, grandma)
1 Toss bouquet (still undecided)
Chuppah
Aisle runner (does the florist do this? we don't need limos b/c ceremony and reception are at the same place)

I know that we dont need flowers on the placecard table or in the cocktail hour room, the RCH provides that.

Thanks ladies.

Do you have a flowergirl? I wasn't sure if you did, because you didn't mention her flowers.

Re: Florists - what do I need?

Did you count bouts for your RBs? Also if you want arrangements in the restrooms, at your home (getting ready), corsages or bouts for any readers...

Don't worry because any florist worth their weight will suggest any other places you may want or need flowers. Just have an idea of the colors and types of flowers you want and bring pics if you can.
