From Proposal to Floral Contract

Here is what should be included in your floral contract:

• Contact information for you and your florist
• Dates, times and locations of both your ceremony and reception
• Itemized list of all arrangements, including the exact varieties to be used, prices and colors, plus acceptable alternatives (in your price range) if your desired bloom isn't available
• List of rental items the florist will supply (vases, candles, linens, chairs, etc.)
• Setup details for the ceremony and reception
• Delivery info for bouquets and boutonnieres (aside from you, your partner, and your wedding party - don't forget to include any floral needs for your parents, grandparents, ushers, flower girls, and ring bearers)
• Name of any florists who will be on-site during the wedding
• Sales tax, overtime charges, delivery costs, and set-up fees
• Total amount and deposit amount
• Payment schedule
• Cancellation and refund policies
• Strike Details to confirm the team will come back and clean up or take the remaining items away within the time slot allowed by the venue. Sometimes you can agree to keep the flowers.
• Confirm the containers or other vessels you're using are either rentals, purchases or items that need to be returned to your florist. Double check if guests can take the centerpieces or if that's even an option.
