Flowers and Limos

In your opinion-how much time before the wedding did you book your limos and flowers-

Re: Flowers and Limos

I booked flowers about 7 months before the wedding and limos 6 months before. Some florists will only do a limited amount of weddings / day and get booked fast!
IMO the earlier you book all vendors the less stress you'll have.

Re: Flowers and Limos

We only did limos a month or at most two before the wedding.

Florist was about seven months.

Re: Flowers and Limos

if I were you I would do them both at the 1 year to 9 month mark.

the limo co. I am using is totally booked on my wedding day. I changed my pickup time recently and they told me that they couldn't guarantee a white limo now. oh well.

Re: Flowers and Limos

my FI thinks that we can go and get flowers and limos without any problem like 6 mnths before the wedding-

UGH

Re: Flowers and Limos

Flowers I booked about a year in advance....limos are FH's job, and surprise, they're not done yet!

We've got some time for that though.

Re: Flowers and Limos

limos we can get I am sure at any time-flowers though are a tad more important-

sometimes it is like banging my head against the wall

Re: Flowers and Limos

I booked my florist 9 months before and I haven't book my limo yet

Re: Flowers and Limos

We booked the limo first because we really wanted to use this particular company and the stretch H2, which they only have 1 of. Flowers you can actually do 4-6 months before, again depending on the florist.

*Tip- sometimes local florists are able to do weddings even with only 1-2 months notice because they are not afiliated with any particular catering hall(s)*
