Anyone using two different florists?

I'm required to use a florist for my reception hall, which happens to be one of the most expensive florists on LI. I was thinking of using a different (cheaper) florist for the
bo-ks and church stuff. Anyone ever heard of someone doing this?

Thanks!

I'm using Simply Stems for my reception and bouquets. My church uses the White Iris Florist in Babylon and 'requests' that i use them since they have the key and can set up early.

We're doing this! Our hall provides centerpieces through one florist, but we booked another (Designs by Rose, a vendor on here) to do the bouquets & corsages/bouts.

We considered it. It is workable!

That's what I'm doing since my church is in Manhattan and the florist has done work in the church and my mother used them for her wedding 30years ago.

I'm still deciding on who to use for the reception hall and bok's.
