Mistake 1: Not Letting The Professionals Do Their Job
I professional florist will have done hundreds of weddings and will know what looks good and what doesn't. So listen to what they have to say instead of telling them what to do.

Mistake 2: Not Being Open To Change
Be willing to work with the florist to create the best possible floral arrangements possible. If you work closely to the florist and work with them and listen to their suggestions instead of being dead set on exactly what you think you want you will be able to get what you want and what will look best even though it may not have been exactly what you had in mind when you started.

Flowers are not cheap and it is a big mistake to wait until the end to check pricing and try to get flowers ordered. If you do this you most likely not be able to get what you want and the flowers will not turn out how you had wanted.

Mistake #4: Ordering Your Flowers Last Minute
If you wait until the last minute to order flowers you will find out 2 things. The first thing is that most of the flowers that florist buy come from South America so they can take weeks to get and if you cut it to close you won't be able to get the flowers you want. The second thing you will learn is that if you have to rush order flowers it is extremely costly. So with a little planning ahead you will be able to get the flowers you want and a much better price.
