<p><em>A great question kept reemerging &ndash; &ldquo;When do I need to engage my floral designer?&rdquo;</em></p>
<p><em>Most brides were confused as some of their wedding dates were as far out as January 2011, and some as soon as December 2009.&nbsp; We believe that you should engage with your floral designer as soon as possible.&nbsp; If they are like us in only accepting one event per day you want to get your date reserved pronto.</em></p>
<p><em>As your big day draws near your designer will work with you on floral selection, staging, and management of the floral event.&nbsp; That being said, the other driver to reserving your date as soon as possible is the availability of certain flowers.&nbsp; For example getting hydrangeas in January is going to require a bit of legwork, and the sooner the designer knows s/he can assist in providing you with vital information on your selection, or proposing alternatives.&nbsp; This was a great question and we hope that we were able to provide guidance.&nbsp;</em></p>
