Just FYI - Girls who want their bok preserved.. ETA: ALSO W/ PICS OF CP

I just found out my florist does this.. he puts it in the shadowbox frame and he can put your bok with your FH's boutener, or the garter or invitation or whatever. He only charges $100 or if you got your bok from him he does it for $50 I think any frames you want.

these are just ones he did for decoration in the store:

Re: Just FYI - Girls who want their bok preserved..

So did he ask why you were taking pictures while you were in there? You should get something free for the PR!

That is a great price, I'll definitely be calling him
I was going to also check with my own florist (Jack and Rose), but that price can't be beat

Did he give you directions? I know some places make you overnight the bok to them so they can preserve it right away....

he thinks we are crazy!!! I actually didnt take the pics FH took them for me. Me and my sister are really close and I HAVE to show her pics of everything lol maybe seems stupid but sometimes it hard to describe stuff to her. I asked him if it was ok to post on here and he said ok whatever you want!!! I dont want to ask for any more freebies b/c I've already negotiated him down like crazy when he sees me hes probably like hide me from the crazy bride!!!

sure!! my names maxine... as soon as he hears my name he will probably laugh and then be afraid you will drive him as crazy as i do!! He said he was going to have to give me directions how to take care of it but since the wedding is still 10 mos away i will probably forget by then. Im going to ask one of my bms or day of coordinator to be in charge of it.
his # is 718-358-0288 ask for steve.. if his wife ( michelle) picks up try not to deal with her.. she dosent negotiate nearly as much as he does

Re: Just FYI - Girls who want their bok preserved..

I know what you mean - I am worried that some of the vendors I call have caller ID and ignore my calls cause I have such stupid questions!!!

But I know what you mean about the pictures, its good to have examples to back up what you are saying.

Does this guy realize that his business could potentially sky rocket from this? haha!!!

lol I dont think he would mind!!! he was doing two weddings today but since he dosent really advertise hes not exactly swamped... I kind of like it that way b/c he knows exactly who i am remembers every detail of what i want when i see him... I dont ever have to remind him of anything lol. Honestly I wouldnt recommend him if he wasnt such a great guy and the prices werent so great. I also had FH take pics of the centerpieces he was making for the weddings tonight if anyone wants to see

Re: Just FYI - Girls who want their bok preserved..

UGH!!! Where were you with this info a few weeks ago when I posted this question

I ordered from keepsake floral for $400 because every florist I asked, said they don't do it I already gave them a non-refundable deposit of $200

But, congrats on finding it. I'm so excited to have this done!
