I wanted tulips soo badly but the florist that i went to said its hard to get them to stay up (they have to wire them) and it would cost more money.. plus i wanted the bigger tulips, i think they are called french tulips..

Suzanne - How were they going to be up?? What was your idea.

I was going to use white tulips as my and lavendar ones as my BM's bo-k's and maybe nikko blue hydranges or some other blue/purple flowers on the table with Yankee Candle votivs on the table around them.

Re: is this a good price for a florist???

This is a really great price! I'm wondering who the florist is, and wanted to suggest (if you haven't already) getting a recommendation from someone who they did a wedding for. Just saying this, b/c you get what you pay for, and just like people say for photos and video, don't skimp. The last thing you would want is to have a bo-k that doesn't look fresh.

If they're not very reputable, just make sure you ask to see exact samples of what you want, and get everything in writing.

Re: is this a good price for a florist???

I know Nina. The didnt have any pictures of any weddings they have done. He did tell me that they could get pics from some of the weddings that they have done.
I did hear from someone on the knot that used them for their wedding and she said that people were practically fighting over who was going to take the centerpiece home.
I still have a year and 1/2 before the wedding so Im not in a real rush. If I do decide to go with them I am going to get some recommendations like you said.
