Too early to be looking for florists?

modcbride · May 2011

Hi all - Getting married April 28, 2012. Is it too early to be looking at florists? I figured now would be a good time, since the same flowers will be in season!

No, I don't think so. I went to the florist yesterday and getting prices. I want to get everyhting done now so I will have time in a couple of months to get ready and not running around crazy.

I had the same logic - I could see what was in season right now. And I just booked mine last week, so not too early for you to start looking.

Some florists will tell you it's too early... but most I met with didn't seem to think booking now was that weird. One told me I should wait until my girls had their bridesmaid dresses so they could be sure of the color.

Not too early at all. Some popular ones here are already booking up!

Not to early at all. I agree that looking now helps you to one get cost ideas but also see whats in season now. Most good florists book very quickly for weddings that happen in April -July as this is the busy wedding season. I wont be using a florist I have horrible allergies and flowers tend to trigger this so I will be using silks to keep my eyes from watering and my nose from sneezing all day.

What about a Fabric, Button or Broach bouqet?!

I dont think its too early either, better to be done, then too be running around like a chicken with its head cut off the last few months :)

I don't think its too early at all. And yeah...its should be easier for them to tell you what would be available as far as flower varieties since the wedding is basically this time next year.

I think I may be a little crazy for this, but I'm going to order the majority of my flowers (yellow and purple tulips) wholesale and my BMs and I will do the arrangements ourselves a day or two before. They are soo creative and artsy. And its going to save a ton of $$$, and should be fun. I have simple tastes and just want simple arrangements. Hopefully this isnt one of my dumbest ideas ever. I guess I wont know til the time comes!

Definately not to early!!! I am booking appointments now too, to start getting ideas. My MOH is very crafty so we have been in Michaels playing with silk flowers and putting them together to make "sample" boquets.

I don't think you're crazy RaeRae, I am planning to order our daisies and tulips to make ours as well, it def saves a ton of $$$!

Thanks! I have started contacting a bunch of florists and I think the timing is right too. We are also planning on doing some of the flowers ourselves - probably the centerpieces but not the bouquets.
