Hi. We are doing an hour of pre ceremony photos, which will be a full two and half hours before the ceremony, since we're having our rehearsal right after the photos. The florist is concerned about the flowers lasting. Any thoughts? Skip the flowers? Go for it? Maybe switch the timing & do rehearsal, then photos. (not sure I can: if the officiant will come an hour earlier). We don't want to take photos during the cocktail hour, because we want to be there/enjoy it, so wedding party photos are all before the ceremony. Thoughts?
Thanks.
