MD is 30% of total wedding bill- then they split it with the staff- Bridal attendant is usually $ 100

Basically, you have to tip everybody. I do however have a problem with tipping the actual owner of the business on top of paying them for their services. I think it is BS for an owner to expect a tip, and if they want one from me, I want to see superior service all around.

IMHO, he's the guy who deserves the tip the most. He is a delivery guy, who probably gets paid minimum wage, and might actually be driving his own car (and not florist's van).
