Since I’m not getting ready at the venue, do I need to ask my florist to deliver the flowers to the bridal party whilst getting ready as well as the venue?

We deliver the flowers to the couple usually on the morning of the wedding, to coincide with the arrival of the photographer so you can get those wonderful wedding shoots getting ready for your special day with your blooms!
We deliver the flowers to the venue also.
Delivery & travel costs will be specified within the quote.
Yes, most florists will confirm if you wish to collect your own florals or have them delivered and installed on location - then provide a quotation for these services. Prices for these services will often be based off fuel costs for the distances and number of locations requested, travel and installation time.
We always recommend delivering Bridal Party florals just before the photographer is booked to arrive. That way you can feauture them throughout a variety of your 'getting ready' shots.
We personally do not recommend trying to collect or install your own wedding florals unless you have experience transporting and caring for fresh flowers! They are extremely difficult to transport safely without damage and careful consideration must be given to the mechanics used to securely attach florals to arbours etc. For a stress-free day, leave it to the experts who are well equipped to handle the logistical side of event floristry in all elements of weather and will ensure that everything is perfect for your special day!
If your wedding florals consist of bridal flowers and your not getting ready at the venue, the florist will discuss with you your alternative address and times the florals need to be delveired by on the wedding day.
if your florals also consist of flowers to be set up at the wedding venue, your wedding florist will also deliver these to the venue and set up as discussed in your quote with yor florist in lead up to your wedding day.
We always deliver the bridal flowers to where our clients are getting ready.
If there are multiple dleivery addresses ,be prepared that there will be charges for fuel and travel time
Our bridal flowers are always delivered in the morning _ less traffic, usually cooler and making sure that flowers are there ready for photography
and we thinkl such a special part of the day.
If you require your personal flowers delivered to you and or a second address please do ask your florist at time of booking .
Having the florist deliver your bouquets and buttonholes saves the time and hassle of asking a friend or family member who is attending the wedding to do this .
However you may have a person who is looking to be a part of your special day and asks how can they help as they have time to do so ,
I would only ask for pick up of buttonholes for this person on the grooms side ,making sure they have a tinted windows, air conditioned to travel safe and ensure freshness .
If you have florals for your venue these are definitely usually set up by the florist and event team , they will have the brief on how florals are to be set up and in a timely manner before guests arrive .
Asking your florist about the delivery and set up of your florals is a must question and they will be more than happy to do this to assist in a stress free day for you and your fiancé .They will have all the details planned and execute each part on time with a big smile . Xx
Hi - Yes we think that is a good idea as it makes your day flow more smoothly and takes any stress regarding gettng your bouquet away,
Enjoy your day

Most florists will ask where you want your bouquets deliverd to, but if your florist has not asked the question, then yes ask. Alot of brides and grooms will want the flowers with them whilst getting ready if they are having a photgrapher doing pre wedding photos. Keep in mind a seperate delivery fee may also be charged.
Yes, you can do that. You can arrange for delivery for a small fee.

Ask a question
I usually deliver the reception lowers at the venue and the bridal bouquets at the bridal party address as it does make it easier when taking photos before the ceremony with family and the maids. I also ask the bride if the lapels as going to a different address as often bride and groom get ready in separate places. Hope this helps you.
Lots of love,
