Host: How do I secure a florist's service?

Gerry Rogers: Once you have decided on which florist that you have met with, you want to use. Florist will typically have you put down a deposit for the flowers for your wedding. This can range from a few hundred to 50% of your total for the flowers. Some florists offer discount for various things, the contract will outline all of that but the deposit will generally hold the date for your wedding.
