And I'm going to Burton's after all of your recommendations... What should I be prepared to know, bring, etc.? Any thoughts on what you did when you booked your florist??

i just went in there knowing what color flowers I wanted and an idea of what I wanted and I brought some pics and then he started showing me pics of he had done that was similar and we decided on something and thats what I got.. I didnt use Burtons.. but thought I would tell you what I brought to the meeting though.

You should know how many CPs you'll be needing, how many bouquets, bouts, corsages...they'll also ask you your colors, and what kind of flowers you want. Then they'll write up a price quote based on quantity, not what you actually want for flowers. So roses, hygrandeas, lilies, whatever, all same price. As long as you're not going in with no idea whatsoever, that should be fine.
Also they'll ask you what color your dress is, because apparently it's imperative to know what color ribbon to wrap your bouquet in at the initial meeting, so now FH knows what color my dress is![]()

one thing that i think you need to know about burtons is tha you should have some idea of which flowers are in season when you are getting married...one of the reasons i didnt go with them is bc i didnt know what specifically was in season and the lady told me to 'go home and google 'flowers in season in august' '
