Well the Christmas decorations are all packed away, and it’s time to start planning the year ahead. If you’re recently engaged, or already in the throes of organising your wedding, then now is the perfect time to get all your suppliers in place to create the wedding of your dreams.
Couples often ask me how far in advance they should think about booking their florist. My answer is always the same…as soon as possible. If you find a supplier you like, please don’t wait to make that decision, book them as soon as you can, or someone else will!
There is no set time line of course, and some couples like to be incredibly organised and get all their suppliers booked 18 months in advance, while others make their choices a couple of months before. They downside to that though is people not being available.
So where do you start? Well there’s nothing like personal recommendation and word of mouth. Your wedding venue will probably have a list of tried and tested suppliers, so why not make that your first port of call? Over the years I’ve built wonderful working relationships with many venues, and it’s a real compliment to be a trusted colleague.
Weddings are what I love to do, so if you’d like to talk flowers for this year and 2026, please do get in touch. I’m here to help!
