The possibilities for wedding flowers are as varied as the number of florists available.  Since you will be spending anywhere from 10-15% of your budget on flowers, you want to ensure that you have selected the best possible fit for both your budget and your personality.  Prior to your appointment, prepare yourself for the visit.  Spend time looking through magazines and at websites to determine what kind of flowers and features you like.  Take along pictures for the florist to add to your file.  Click here for a list that you can fill out prior to the visit so you will know exactly what and how many of each item you need so you can focus on the creative design instead of counting how many boutonniere's while you are sitting at the florist.
