Because flowers are such an important aspect to most weddings they are not something you should wait until the last minute to book. Florists tend to fill their schedules quickly, especially for the dates that fall during peak season. An advanced duration between 6 to 9 months in advance is ideal especially if you require specialty items or a large amount of floral décor. Most florists can only book a certain number of weddings per weekend, so it is important to book before they are unavailable (especially for weddings that falls on a long weekend). For simple weddings that only require a minimal amount of flowers, 3 months is advisable as booking period.
