So excited I have two appointments this Saturday to meet with florists. I know I am a little early but I want to make sure I didn't underbudget this one.

Don't be nervous! They will work with any budget and will make suggestions accordingly. Just see what flowers are in season for your wedding too. And enjoy! Have fun! We booked with joe at pedestals he was amazing! Hope you can get him.

Yes definitely bring inspiration with you -- I had an idea of what I wanted and brought tons of pictures but as soon as I walked into Pedestals my whole vision changed! I saw a centerpiece there and was like 'that's it!' lol.

I hope that happens to me because I didn't see much online last night. Also, I think everything I like will be way over my budget so I dont want to be too set on one thing. Is it at least Friday yet??? UGH!!

I am meeting with Virgil but I am sure that they are all very good. What type of centerpieces are you doing?

How did your florist appointments go?

I have the worst luck ever! I ended up getting a flat on my way to NY & needed to be towed (long story) so I had to cancel my appt with Flowers by Brian. I made it to Pedestals & was happy with the quote but it was 1k over what we planned to spend. When I spoke with FH about it we both agreed to get more quotes before making a final decision. So bummed I couldnt made it to the other appt so I could compare!
