If your wedding will take place during the busy wedding season (May to August), it's best to book your florist approximately 6 to 9 months prior to your wedding date. Before choosing your wedding flowers, it's wise to have your ceremony and reception venues booked. This is very important as the venue will determine the number and type of flowers you'll need.

For instance, if you'll have a garden wedding, Mother Nature will provide much of the ambiance and therefore minimal floral decorations will be needed. If yours will be a church ceremony, you may choose to have floral accents on the altar and/or on pews. It's also a good idea to consult with venue staff regarding decorating restrictions.
If you're working with a limited budget, it's best to stay with flowers that are in season and grown as close as possible to your wedding location. Another way to stretch your floral budget is to add other less expensive decorative elements to floral arrangements. Fruit, ribbon, or greenery can be used as an attractive "filler" to create full, lush arrangements. Wherever possible, substitute real flowers with silk flowers. Choose silk flowers of high quality and your guests won't know they're not the real thing.
If you're long on creativity, you'll be able to stretch the tightest of budgets.
