Questions to ask your vendor
What to ask before you book
- 1.Do you have experience working within formal garden or estate venue restrictions on drilling, staking, or attaching to structures?
- 2.Which seasonal blooms will be at peak in my wedding month — and what's your recommended alternative if my first choice isn't available?
- 3.Can you design and install a hanging floral chandelier or overhead installation, and what rigging does the venue need to support it?
- 4.What's your contingency if wind disrupts the floral arch or aisle arrangements on the day?
- 5.Have you worked with this venue before — do you know where the hidden angles and best photo spots are?

Season planning
spring wedding tips
- —Schedule your ceremony mid-morning or late afternoon — spring light is soft and diffused all day
- —Seasonal blooms like peonies, tulips, cherry blossom, and ranunculus are at peak availability and lowest cost
- —Have a backup plan for spring showers — a tent or covered option protects the day
- —Spring temperatures are ideal for outdoor ceremonies: guests are comfortable without fans or heaters
Golden hourGolden hour in spring falls around 7–8pm depending on location — plan toasts or first dances to coincide.
Things to consider
- ·Book florals early — spring weddings compete heavily for peony and cherry blossom availability
- ·Venue gardens may not be at peak bloom until May — confirm timing with your venue
- ·Allergies: check if any guests have severe pollen allergies if using heavy floral arrangements
