You've booked your wedding florist and now, the fun begins: You get to choose and finalize the floral arrangements that will wow your guests on the big day. But here's the thing: For some couples, locking down a wedding-flower look can be tough—and indecision can lead to missing out on their first-choice blooms in their preferred hues. As Ashley Greer, owner and lead designer at Atelier Ashley Flowers, explains, "Pinterest and Instagram can be so distracting that [couples] change their mind every day." And ordering flowers late "means you are risking availability," she says. For example, "A farmer may have burgundy peonies in June—but their quantity is usually limited," Greer says. "So, if you wait too long, chances are good those burgundy peonies have already been reserved for someone else's wedding."
