Wedding Florists: Points for the Contract

From wedding centerpieces to delivery fees, everything you need to cover before the deal is set in stone.

Don't even think of signing on the dotted line unless all of these items are included in your flower contract.

  • Name and contact information for you and the vendor. Find a great wedding florist. 
  • Date, times, and locations of your ceremony and reception. See our favorite wedding reception venues in your area. 
  • An itemized list of all the flower arrangements you're buying -- from bouquets to centerpieces -- with exact names, amounts, and colors
  • Flower alternatives (in your price range) should a specific bloom be unavailable on your wedding day; also include unacceptable substitutions, if any
  • A list of items the florist will supply -- centerpiece vases, trellises, other accessories
  • Arrival times for setup at the ceremony and reception sites
  • Where and when bouquets and boutonnieres should be delivered, if not to the ceremony site (to your home, for example)
  • Name of the florist who will be on hand during the wedding
  • Total cost and payment schedule. Get wedding budget advice.  
  • Sales tax, overtime charges, delivery fees, and setup fees
  • Deposit amount and due date
  • Balance amount and due date
  • Cancellation/refund policy
  • Florist's signature
  • Your signature
