At what point in the planning of a wedding do you hire the florist?

Hiring a Florist for Your Wedding

Once you find out if you are having a church wedding or an outdoor wedding and you have made up your mind as to what colors the dresses of your Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids are going to wear. Also whether you are having an indoor reception or an outdoor one. You can go through bridal magazines and if you find bouquets or table-settings you like you can take a picture to the florist of your choice or simply sit down with the florist you have chosen and she will have catalogues for you to go through with different pictures and types of flowers.

It's customary that if you have flowers at the front of the altar that you leave them for the church. These flowers do not include the pillar stands, but only vased flowers. The pillar stands usually belong to the florist. If you have an outdoor wedding and a reception indoors then the altar flowers are moved to the reception.

Congratulations!
