Before you talk to your florist, put together a list of wedding flowers you'll need. It will help focus your discussions, and help you stay within budget! (keep in mind that this is only a general checklist. You certainly don't need all of the flowers listed here. You may also wish to add corsages or boutonnieres for other people that are special to you.)
