Thoughts for planning wedding flowers

Wondering when a good time to find a florist for your wedding?
It is always helpful for you to begin talking with a florist after you have decided wedding attire for yourself and your bridesmaids. In rare instances, I have spoken to brides who would like to decide flowers before the dresses are picked out. This method works fairly well, in cases that you are very particular about flowers matching specific colors for dresses.
As a general rule of thumb for the Minnesota climate is that summer and fall weddings should be planned out further in advance, than a wedding planned for the winter/spring months. 6 - 12 months is generally a good time to book with a florist in the more popular wedding months, while 3 - 6 months is adequate time for the more "off months".
I like to reiterate that florist do book up quickly, especially the good ones! Just because you are thinking of flowers for an August wedding, doesn't mean that the florist has that weekend available to service you. Most offer floral services on a first come, first serve basis.
