How far in advance should I organise the flowers?

Hi, it can be 4-5 before your big day unless you want specific florist then should book her a bit more in advance and may she wouldnt be available on your day. Regards, Frida 

at least 12-18 months in advance, particulalry if your wedding date is at a popular time of year.  Most "have to have' vendors get snapped up quite early.  If flowers are an important part of you day/vibe, then the sooner the better.

Ideally, you should start looking into florists and discussing your vision for the overall aesthetic for your florals around 6 to 12 months before your wedding date.

In the early stages of decision making, and once initial details have been discussed, we can provide accurate quotes for the key components of your florals, and booking early secures your date and a florists services for your wedding, particulary if they are a highly sought after florist. 

Some factors that play into this would also be the time of year, such as peak wedding seasons (Spring and Autumn) dates can book up quickly.

The seasonal availability of certain flowers; if you have your heart set on any specific varieties for example, the ability to have those conversations well in advance is recommended to establish if they will be available on your wedding date, or if alternative suggestions can be made.

The complexity of your wedding and the overall logistics for a larger scale event would also be a factor, the more elaborate the designs and extensive the florals are, the more they would benefit from an earlier start to the planning.

Ultimately if you allow yourself the 6-12 month window you have the flexibility to make sure the florist you choose is the right fit. It's a much more pleasant process if you can take your time making the decision. Florals have such a huge impact on the look and feel of your day, and if the flowers are a really important part of that for you, then it shouldn't be a last minute decision. 

Hope this was helpful. 

You should book your bouquet preservation soon after you confirm your flowers, especially in the busier wedding months. Flowers Preservation artists often have limits on how many bouquets they can take on at any given time. 

I would suggest up to 12 months in advance to guarantee the florist you want is available. There is sometimes availability is quieter months

and you may get lucky to find a great florist close to the date, but I would suggest you look up to 12 months before your choosen date.

At least 4- 5 months before the wedding day.

That will give you inafe time to play around with the mockup desings and to change things around.
