How to Hire a Florist: Final Checklist

It's countdown time. Except for a few last minute details, the seeds are sewn and love's ready to bloom. We know that you know way more about hydrangeas than you ever thought possible. But when you see your bouquet and table settings designed exactly as you envisioned, it will take your (baby's) breath away, and that's what it's all about!

1. Confirm flower delivery times with ceremony and reception sites (and any other parties). Make sure your florist has ample setup time. Determine when all equipment needs to be removed from the premises. Make sure the florist has the correct delivery addresses and phone numbers.

2. If you don't have a wedding planner, name a good friend or relative who's got that "take charge" attitude to oversee the wedding day flower delivery. Not only will she feel flattered to be asked to participate, but you can be assured everything will be done to your satisfaction. In fact, invite her to the final meetings with the florist to involve her in the whole process. Make sure you order a special bouquet or bloom for her efforts.

3. Make sure you have the florist's contact number and cell phone number.

4. Have the maid of honor and best man distribute bouquets, corsages and boutonnières that you have had clearly marked by the florist.
