I would just ask is there a reason I'm getting the flowers early

Ours were done the day before in May and they were amazing! You’d never have known. They are very good at keeping the flowers as they should they know what they are doing

Depends on the flowers - some won't last as well if made any earlier, some are more forgiving. If she's been creating flowers for years or been through training, she should know what she's doing. In my experience florists tend to make them up the day before for freshness and will take out any bits that aren't going to look fabulous by the time of your wedding. Have a fab day x

Having the flowers the day before isn’t usually an issue, just ask your florist for advice keeping them fresh overnight! Having run many weddings in hotels and other venues we have often been asked to store flowers in the fridge over night! Hope that helps

Mine were done the morning of my wedding but that's because it was in August & it was 27deg...I suppose it all depends on the flowers you are having will they be kept cool and fresh!!

I got mine the day before and they were beautiful. Just keep them somewhere cold and covered

My flower lady went on holiday on the day of my wedding (also 1pm) so she made everything the day before and put it in her cooler for one of her girls to deliver the morning the of wedding. They were fine and looked completely fresh x

depending on the flowers some can be freeze sprayed or put in the cooler to keep them nice and fresh. x

My friend did the flowers for the tables the night before and flowers for the church, button holes and cake were delivered on the day. All were fine.
