How Far in Advance Should You Book Your Wedding Florist?
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive from our couples is:
“How far in advance should we book you?”
It’s a valid and important question and the answer can make a significant difference to the overall experience and result of your wedding day flowers.
At Flowers by Anya, we believe that truly beautiful weddings are not created in a rush. They take time, planning, and a trusted team who can guide you every step of the way. Your flowers are a key part of your wedding story, they set the tone, elevate the atmosphere, and enhance the emotion of every moment.
For this reason, we recommend couples book their wedding florist between 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for popular seasons such as spring and summer, or in-demand dates and venues.
Why Early Booking Matters
Weddings that feel seamless, refined, and effortlessly beautiful are the result of thoughtful planning and early preparation. Here’s why securing your florist well in advance is so important:
Your Wedding Date is Reserved
We take on a limited number of weddings each season to maintain the high level of care and attention that every couple deserves. Once your date is secured, we can begin the creative journey together, without compromise or rush.
We Can Source Your Dream Flowers
Luxury floral design often includes rare or seasonal blooms, premium varieties, or unique colour palettes. These require advance ordering from specialty growers. Booking early gives us the time to ensure the very best flowers are available for your date, in the exact shades and styles we’ve envisioned together.
We Can Design With Intention
From elegant ceremony installations to delicate bouquet detailing, our designs are bespoke. They’re built around your story, your aesthetic, and the setting you’ve chosen. That level of personalisation takes time, not just in creation, but in planning, communication, and refinement.
What If You’re Planning Last-Minute?
We understand that not all weddings follow a traditional timeline. If you’re organising a smaller celebration, elopement, or micro-wedding, we may be able to offer floral options with as little as 2 to 4 weeks’ notice.
However, it’s important to note:
- Flower choice may be limited to what’s currently in season and locally available.
- Large-scale installations or custom floral features may not be possible within a short timeframe.
- A flexible, trust-based approach is essential, but rest assured, our team will always deliver something beautiful, refined, and reflective of our signature style.
A Perfect Wedding Takes Time
The most elegant weddings are never rushed. Every floral decision, from the blooms we select to the way they are styled and arranged, deserves time and attention. By securing your florist early, you’re giving yourself the best opportunity to create a celebration that feels effortless, polished, and entirely personal.
If you’re ready to begin planning your wedding flowers, we would love to hear from you. Reach out to us to check availability, begin a conversation, or discuss your vision, no matter what stage of planning you’re in.
We’re here to guide you, inspire you, and create florals that are as memorable as the moments they accompany.
With warmest wishes,
Anya
