Should I bring my fiance to the florist?

Vanessa, on September 13, 2013 at 11:24 AM Posted in Planning 0 16

We have finally gotten our planning off the ground and I am super excited. I want to make an appointment with the florist to start going over our options, however, my fiance's work schedule sucks. His schedule is made almost a month in advance so if he asks for a day off, it won't be until at least mid-October. I don't want to wait that long. I really want him to help out as much as he can with the wedding planning but would it be that big of a deal if I go to the florist by myself?

    Does he want to go? Maybe you can go and get some ideas and he can help narrow it down with you.

    Ask him if he really wants to go, if he's indifferent then I would go alone. If you really want him there and wait until he can take off of work. I assume he works weekends and you can't go sooner then?

    Mine wanted to go, or maybe he thought I wanted him to go. If he cares, then take him. If not, then don't.

    Maybe you can show him some pictures of things you like ahead of time to get on the same page and then go alone? My FH is pretty in to being involved, but he has completely left me in charge of any flowers.

    If he wants to go then you should have him go and wait. If he doesn't care, don't punish him by making him go and talk about flowers for an hour... My FH would have died of boredom if the florist hadn't had a golden retriever puppy for him to pet the entire time.

    I agree with the others, you should ask if he wants to go. My FH has been great about helping and going to appointments with me. His only request was to not make him go to the florist. Ok, done! Two of my BMs went and we had a great day.

    There's going to be plenty of appointments that he will definitely want to be there (caterer, photograher, etc).. I don't think florist is a necessary one. I don't plan on bringing my FH to the florist- he doesn't know/care that much about flowers.

    Mine went with me. And I'm glad he did. I can get a little carried away so he kept me focused.

    Mine's going for sure. then again he's more into the planning than most guys... it's up to y'all and how important it is to him. some guys just don't care.

    Your wedding is next year, you have TONS of time to look over your options. Its only a month you have to wait.

    FH was surprisingly involved when we went. He thought he wouldn't care, in the end, he helped to make alot of decisions about what kinds of flowers we chose.

    My guy had NO interest in flowers, so i went myself. i'd say ask him how he feels. it might be a good idea to save his days off for things he'd be more helpful with if he doesn't have much interest in flowers.

    My FH did not care about the flowers or centerpieces at all, but when it came to the actual appointment... he sure had a lot to say... So ask him if he wants to go. You can take pictures while you are there and send it to him for his input.

    Mine went with me (his schedule is worse than mine and it's always changing, mine really doesn't)... so we waited and went together. He picked his own flower and the guys, while I did mine and all the girls and extras.

    If he wants to go then wait until you both are able to make it. My FH has no interest in anything wedding related. He went to the appointments that had to do with food but other than that, I've been doing it all by myself.
