After all, they're going to punch up the "pretty" factor of your reception and appear in almost all of your formal photographs. At a minimum, you'll probably want to order a bridal bouquet; bouquets for your attendants; boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen and fathers; corsages for the mothers; flowers for the ceremony site; and centerpieces for the reception tables. But the first step is to find a florist who "gets" you-and will get the job done right.

Start Interviewing Pros

Most couples meet with at least three florists to compare styles, prices and personalities. The manager at your reception site can most likely recommend reliable and talented people. You can also obtain referrals from your house of worship, or recently married friends and family members (especially if you were present at their wedding and witnessed their florist's handiwork firsthand).

Be Prepared

In order to present you with his or her ideas, a florist will need to know three things:

Your budget: Most brides and grooms allot about 3 percent of their total wedding budget to their flowers and decor. It's okay if you don't have much to spend-most floral designers will be willing to work within the parameters of your budget and suggest smart ways to save, like using full-bloom flowers to decrease the number of stems you need.

- Working With Wedding Professionals Virginia

Many brides have stories to tell about how their hired professionals-caterer, photographer, florist, etc.-failed to deliver the products or services promised. But what most of us later confess is that it may have been partly our fault: We didn't ask enough questions, check out references, read or require a contract, or we were afraid to tell the hired help exactly what we wanted.
