I am getting married on a 'hot' date next June. I have no idea what flowers I will use. Do I need to just book a florist now? Will they book up? I am having a cocktail party so will not have 'real' centerpieces, so will just need some accent pieces, bouquet's... How do I book if I don't know what I want?? Thank for the help!

I dont know why it is hot. i think vendors tell you that just to get you to book!

I will book a year to 8 months before. I still want to consider my options. I have seen 2 florists. Plus i am not doing reception flowers so i have time to look.

When I went to Pedestals, they told me that I should book someone within the next three months or so. So I guess 8-12+ months is a good timeframe.

You do have a HOT date in the wedding industry because of the weather, month and also because it is prom season. I would start to llok around and price and get ideas. It never hurts to look. Good Luck!

I would go soon - just so you have your pick -you dont want to go somewhere fall in love and not be able to get it - they will give you ideas -you can go to the book store also and flip through see if anything cathces your eye - but getting married in June I would start looking -I already booked mine were not getting married till dec. but there doing our E-pary also and thats next month -

I'm going to go one year before my wedding date - so this July. I've heard it's good to go one year before your date so you can see what flowers are in stock, and are bountiful during your month. I have to use one of two florists, so I really could wait on the florist though because one of the two have to be available.

I have to agree with the 'one year rule' if you can --- only because of this: i went in january and saw tulips and was like 'NO WAY'... now i am going (one year till wedding) and i'm in love because this is the PERFECT time for tulips. So.....I agree. It's good to know what will be beautiful around your time...

I also booked my Florist about a month ago. We chose Laurie from LABlossom. She is great to work with and has awesome ideas.

I was the same way about the tulips Lisa!! But when I found out they come in purple, the rest is history.......
