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
