You may be asked to pay a consultation fee if you want to discuss a florist\u2019s specific ideas for your wedding. In most cases, the fee will be applied to the flowers once the order is placed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How far in advance should I contact the florist when ordering wedding flowers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many florists can accept only a set number of weddings on a given day, so it is important to contact your florist well in advance to begin planning.\u00a0A good rule of thumb is to contact your florist at least three months in advance. However, if your wedding is going to\u00a0be an exceptionally elaborate event, take place during peak wedding season or fall on a holiday, then six months to a year is not too soon to contact your florist. This will allow the florist to begin looking for any props or specialty items you might need. Wedding flowers can be highly specific and colors often have to be very precise, so florists need advance notice to place flower orders.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10759\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10759\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050.jpg\" alt=\"bridal bouquet\" width=\"550\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050-534x800.jpg 534w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050-500x749.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10759\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050.jpg\" alt=\"bridal bouquet\" width=\"550\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050-534x800.jpg 534w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/bc7182e948a70f56550529ecc1956050-500x749.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Source: http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/233976143112983379\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Will a florist work within my budget?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes.
