I would recommend 6-12 months.  This gives you time to obtain a few quotes and choose the florist best suited for your wedding.

Many florist's book up months in advanced, so if you have a particualr or favourite florist in mind you need to get in quick.

Most florists should be able to organise your flowers within a week. This does depend on what flowers you are ordering and if they can fit you in, which is iimportant to remember.

From about 8-6 months to your wedding date would be great and like everyone else has mentioned once you have your dress,venue and bridesmaids dresses picked out then you are ready to discuss flowers!

You'll probably hear that you can book anwhere from 6 - 12 months before your wedding date to ensure you get the florist you want, but I always tell my brides that it is really important to book a florist when you're ready and feel comfortable. As others have mentioned, this usually happens after you have found the venue, a gown and have picked a colour palette, however if you feel like you need support earlier in the process just reach out and we are always happy to support where we can :)

We recomend at least 6 to 8 months from your wedding date and you then can opt for a payment plan  :)

Hi, 

Normally once you have your gowns selected then is a good time to look into your floral requirements as you will know your colour scheme and this helps the florist enormously. 6 - 12 months is the liking for a Florist.

Hope this helps you in planning one of the biggest days of your life.

Usually 5 to 6 months is a great time to book!

It's good to book in early so you don't miss out, anywhere from a year to 6 months in advance, if you leave it any closer than that the chances of getting the booking become slimmer. If you are trying to book any further in advance though (say 1 and a half to 2 years in advance) it is hard to give exact prices.
