Your next wedding checklist item will be choosing your floral arrangements.

You’ll need to know your wedding budget, your colors, your favorite flowers, and the number of flowers or arrangements you will need, as a starting point in talking with a florist.

When considering your wedding budget keep in mind that you’ll need floral arrangements for both the wedding ceremony site and the reception site.

You’ll also need personal flowers.

For example, you’ll need flowers for your bouquet (including your throw away bouquet), your bridesmaids, your groom and his groomsmen,  your parents and the groom’s parents, and special wedding guests (such as grandparents or close relatives).

Find out from your florist what deposits and payments have to be made to reserve your flowers for your wedding.

Follow your wedding checklist to keep everything in order so you can plan your dream wedding.
