Good idea. With all the crap I hear, I don't care how nice their stuff is. I wouldn't risk the bullsh1t.

I can see a florist being totally overwhelmed 5 days before mother's day but they should have politely explained that and said they would be happy to meet with you next week.

But, how do we know that this is the only time that a bride has been told to wait 1 week just for a phone call?

I agree, I don't care how popular someone is or how good their work is, I will not go chasing someone to give them my business.

I have no idea and of course no way of knowing.

In the situation described in this thread, I can understand the florist asking to put off meeting or talking until next week considering the wedding is over a year away and mother's day (the second largest floral holiday of the year) is less then a week away.

I don't think they should be rude and they should have explained the situation (if this is the case) but if they are not going to be able to focus on the conversation, there's no point in having it.

Give LA Blossom a try. Lauries is really good at getting back to you and her prices are competative.
