Tipping florist and baker?

Bump!

I did not plan on tipping either. I am just tipping my DJ, photographer and officiant.

I'm only tipping people working at the wedding

Typically if they are independent, you don't have to tip. But if you feel they went above and beyond what you asked for, I certainly would!

I plan on sending a thank you card with a check for my florist and baker because although I won't see them at the wedding, their efforts were certainly appreciated on my end!

I think there was a Knot article on this, if I find it again i'll post the link. If I remember right it's like a 20$ tip suggested for those two (baker and florist). I'm planning to give a 50$ tip to DJ and photographer, officiants tip is like $100 because he doesn't get paid for wedding the church does, and doing 20$ for the baker and florist.

I think when it comes to wedding independent vendors you don't have an expected 20% like most other things. The only things I'm tipping a percentage for is my bartender, caterer, and hair stylist.

I used to work at a bakery and did cakes for events. Tips, while always appreciated, are by no means expected or required.

I also used to work at a greenhouse that had a large floral department. Oftentimes people did tip the florist who did their arrangement, but again, not required and not expected.

However, do leave a glowing review wherever you can if you liked what you got. That's largely how these folks do business, so those are definitely appreciated!

I would definitely at least tip the person who delivered the flowers and the cake. I think if they provided you a service and you were pleased with the their work, sending a thank you card and small tip would be considerate.

We tipped the people who delivered our cake and flowers, but that was it.

I dont plan on tipping. All of my vendors are independent. I feel like if you're paying for a cake and delivery, you're paying for a good not a service. To me its like tipping a waitress, but not tipping a fast food worker. You're solely getting a good. Is that absurd?

I'm not tipping my florist or baker, just the people working my wedding.

I tipped both. I considered them providing both goods and services and I was really pleased with my cake setup and my floral arrangements. Both delivered on time and made sure everything was perfect, and I felt like both deserved a tip.

In my situation I will probably tip the baker because the cake comes with our venue so this person making our cake is charging our venue a flat rate but she is meeting with us more than once to taste and then design our cake. I feel like it would be fair to tip her. I'm getting my photographer a gift for he and his wife to go out to dinner but they are friends (and professionals) and also attending as guests. I'm

not using a florist so I can't say for that.

I didn't tip either (baker was included in the venue so i assumed they have a deal already), for all other vendors that are independently owned, we tipped extra helpers and are planning on sending thank you with a a gift card tip (to Starbucks/Dunkin, where ever we most commonly met with them). I also have referred them business which is awesome so I think the small gift card should be enough as well.
