To be honest. We did not tip the Florist. We didn't tip the photographer or videograhper either. The other people we did tip was the caterer.. approx $300 I recall and the Limo Driver, we gave her $100 cause she was awesome. We paid all those services ALOT of money for their service and we felt they didn't need a tip for the thousands of dollars we had already spent!Though you can take a look at this website if you'd like:http://www.wedalert.com/content/articles/who_to_tip.asp

The caterer has the tip included in the final bill under the term 'gratituity'. You don't tip them extra unless the service was outstanding.The rest, you tip them what you feel they deserved only if they went above and beyond for you. You never tip anyone before seeing the final service in action or for bad/mediocre service.

You can tip the photographer or limo-driver. Forget the rest...they charge an arm and a leg.

Gratuities are almost always added into the final bill, whether you have hired a private catering company or are using one of the finest hotel facilities. The question has been asked, "Is it proper to tip the servers, when I have already paid a gratuity in my contracted price?" The answer is, of course, "tipping has always been a personal expression of gratitude for service given and appreciated." For instance, if a particular server has spent his evening providing you service, over and above your expectations, and you choose to give that individual a "tip," that choice is entirely up to you. It should be given for extra special services only. It is not required, as the gratuity has, as noted, already been paid. The customary amount would be up to 15%.

Hi. Where I live, we do not tip those people. You are already paying them for their service. You can possibly tip the limo driver (if you are having a limo) and your fiance would tip the hair stylist and make-up person, but that would be it!
