3-5 Days Prior to Your Big Day
Your florist usually prepares all your flowers and stores in the refrigerators a day ahead. Make an appointment and go in and see how they look. The most important item is your bouquet. If the color is not exactly what you had imagined, ask to make changes by adding different color or fillers. Also make sure the ribbon used is what you had requested. Confirm delivery time and location for flowers.
