Avoid Floral Catastrophes

Head wreaths can be fun and beautiful, but not if they are made too large and can be worn as a necklace. Be sure to give the florist the head measurements of all the people wearing them.

You should also have the florist place labels on each bouquet or corsage or boutonniere. This avoids confusion and awkward moments where an aunt has taken the wrist corsage that was meant for the brides mother. It especially helps if you have different bouquets that need to match up with boutonnieres on the groomsmen across the aisle.

Place your deposit and balance on your credit card in case the wrong flowers are delivered; or worse, the florist goes out of business or is closed that day or forgets about your job. There are special consumer protection laws that protect payments made on your credit card.

Be sure to check with your church about floral donations, as some churches require that you leave the floral arrangments that are placed in the church as a donation. Almost all have restrictins on the throwing of rice, but sometimes even birdseed is not allowed anymore.
