Florist

So today I went to Flower Michele...and met with Rich...I really liked him but I think he was charging me A LOT for a non floral cp. It was almost in my budget- but I am still going to look around to see if anyone can do better. How was everyones Sunday??

Rich does amazing work! He did our e-party flowers and I loved them, now he is doing our wedding.

Maybe check out flower barn or burton's I have heard really good things about them too.

Re: Florist

Dont get me wrong I really liked him- and he didnt go too far over my budget...If I dont like anyone else as much ill use him and go over budget.

I love that - it makes me want a winter wedding just to have them - I can see why it would be expensive though - they always looked expensive to me.

I love that look. I almost did that...but my mom really wanted flowers...so went with the flowers and will do the branches for the entrance table.

Re: Florist

i agree that its probably the crystals that make it expensive. can you get them from somewhere else?
did you try to negotiate because i really wanted to book Rich and i sat there and went back and forth with him until we negotiated a price i liked and then booked on the spot. i even gave him one of those 'if you can give me the price of X amount of dollars i will sign you right now' and he did

Christine definitely check out the Perfect Wedding Planner Florist - his name is Richard, he was just amazing and he is their house florist, he gave me a good discount since I am a scotto brother bride

Re: Florist

I negotiated with him a lot---he want down $700. He just started above my range. The number he went to wasnt terrible- I could afford it- but why spend the extra money if I dont have to?
