What should I confirm with my florist the final week?

Question

Accepted Answer

In the final week, confirm your delivery and setup times and addresses, verify final piece counts, pay any remaining balance, and share the day-of contact and floor plan. This last check ensures everyone knows exactly what happens and when. The final week is about certainty, not new decisions. Confirm the delivery address and time for personal flowers, and the setup window and location for ceremony and reception pieces. Verify who at the venue lets the crew in and whether teardown is same-night. Share the name and phone number of your day-of coordinator so the florist has one clear contact. Reconfirming these logistics in writing prevents the small mix-ups, like a wrong address or an unexpected access rule, that cause day-of stress. By now your final counts should be locked, but do a last verification against your guest and table numbers so nothing shifted. Confirm the remaining balance is paid on schedule. Review the piece list one more time, including easy-to-forget items like the cake flowers, family corsages, and gift table accents. If anything changed recently, make sure your florist has the update. A five-minute review of the itemized list against your floor plan catches the rare gap before it becomes a day-of problem. Once these confirmations are done, your part is essentially finished. The florist orders, conditions, and builds everything in the final days, and your job is to rest and be present. Resist the urge to introduce changes now, since flowers are ordered and time is short. Our Bentley Florist team handles the final stretch so couples can focus on family and celebration.
