Floral Quote ... What do you think??

So, I visited with a florist today and I was quoted 2100 for the following:

* church bows for 10 pews
* 2 sets of flowers for the altar
* 10 centerpieces (with 3 dozen flowers of my choosing)
* 2 boks (bride & MOH)
* boutonnieres for groom and best man
* corsages and boutonnieres for all the parents

No rental fee for the stands. They'll also decorate my cake for me, too.

What do you all think?

to tell u the truth, i really don't know because i am clueless when it comes to the price of flowers. to maximize what you're paying for though, i would pick the most expensive flower..i'm talking 'little shop of horror' flowers! lol

hope i at least made u laugh with my unhelpful comment!

Are the centerpieces high or low?

Actually, now that I think about it, its pretty good.

well you made me laugh

'Suddenly Seymourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

All the centerpieces are high. I am not sure if we need decorations for the church either... I'm getting married the Friday after Easter, so the priest said they'll already have flowers at the altar (which I forgot when talking to the florist).

I was quoted by J ack & Rose. I met with Jack and liked him A LOT, but I always feel so taken advantage of when I say the word 'wedding'. I love their work, but if I can save money... I'd like to. He talked a lot about how fresh the flowers will be, and knowing nothing about flowers I found that pretty interesting.

We have a meeting with Richard on Saturday, so we'll take it from there.

Any tips on negotiating the price?

Man, this whole wedding thing is making me feel so ripped off all the time.

I went with Richard, to be honest I didn't even negotiate with him. His price was right on with others and I just LOVED my centerpieces. I trust him too, which is a rare thing I have learned in this wedding business.
