When it comes to ordering your wedding bouquets and centerpieces, communication is key. One of the best ways to let your florist know exactly what you want is to bring in an image of a bouquet or centerpiece that you’ve seen on the Internet or in a magazine. Also bring in a fabric swatch of your wedding gown, the bridesmaids dresses, and if you can, a swatch of the linens you’ve selected for your wedding reception.
