Understanding your Flower Timelines
Easy
Planning your wedding flowers is exciting, but timing is everything. Fresh flowers need proper care, and leaving arrangements to the last minute can cause unnecessary stress.
PLANNING AND PREPARE
Planning is important for every element of the wedding, especially the wedding flowers. In advance of ordering your fresh flowers, you can not only plan the flower types that you wish to buy, but you can plan everything else including:
- Find your flower supplier
- Purchase your floral supplies i.e. buckets, floral tape, wires, ribbons,
- Logistics of the venue
- Delegate help
- Plan storage and transport
- Make your flower checklist
- Do a trial run
