Host: What should I get from my florist the day of the wedding?

Gerry Rogers: On the day of your wedding, your florist will generally deliver your bouquets to you whether it's at a hotel room that you are getting ready at or your home or the church or wherever you are getting married an hour or so before that is to start. You generally talk with them ahead of time as to what that delivery schedule will be. They will also negotiate with your reception site as to when -- or your caterer for when they will be ready for the florist to set up and they will come in and set all that stuff up. You may in fact not even see your florist on the day of the wedding and if there are any items that you rented from the florist, either they will arrange for you to return them to them or they will come back at the end of reception to pick them up themselves.
