Who gets corsages at wedding?
There aren’t any set-in-stone traditions about who gets to wear wedding -day flowers. But here’s who most couples choose to honor: The parents and stepparents, grandparents, any other immediate family members who are not in the wedding party, ushers, and the ceremony readers. Either way, it’s up to you.
When should I hire a wedding florist?
Ideally, I recommend booking a florist 6 to 9 months in advance, but many popular dates book 12 to 18 months ahead of time, so if flowers are important to you and you want to make sure you get that florist you had your eyes on for a while, book as soon as you can.
Why are bridal bouquets so expensive?
Simply put, flowers are expensive, and because a bouquet is comprised of a number of individual blooms, they can be quite costly. While your florist will help you pick the flowers that fit your style and theme, it’s important to be clear about your budget from the start.

To fill out a bridal bouquet, your florist would probably suggest between 24 and 36 stems. You would then use the number of stems in your bridal bouquet to decide on the size for the bridesmaids’ bouquets.
How much should you spend on wedding invitations?
The average cost of wedding invitations sits between $400 and $650 for most couples.
How much should centerpieces cost for a wedding?
