Does anyone have a list of questions or info to get from the florist when you go in for your first meeting? I'm meeting with 4 florists over the next two weeks and other than pricing, I'm not exactly sure what to ask.
You can ask if delivery & set up is extra, when you can see samples of your centerpieces,etc...
If you have pictures of flowers you want or centerpieces bring them and ask how much it would be
They asked me all the questions and it pretty much answered any questions I had. Just go in with an idea of what you want, and an idea of how much you want to spend and you will be fine :)
I found everyone was different. One of the 'big vendors' kept me for 15 minutes! I was not happy since I drove 45 to get there. However, most will sit with you and go over EVRYTHING leaving you with very little questions. I saw pictures and from there inspired the mock BOK. Some of the prices are insane. I wound up checking out my local florist and booking her. Reasonable, does weddings and showed pics, and would set up my candle centerpieces for free (just buying the submerged orchids from her)
