Florist charges for sample

So my florist said that she has to charge me to view the CP. This JUST came about now when I asked her to see the finished product. she is someone that i know from growing up and she is charging me a good price BUT are you kidding? she told me that before. what should i do

That's crap. Especially if she's a childhood friend.

but really *** for? Seriously I left the competitor to use her.. she is not a recco vendor at my RH. I think that I am going to at least protest a little. She MADE me come in to see my bouquet once and then there was nothing there when I went. she is really amazing BUT what am i going to do with the CP when i leave? I was hoping that my mom could use it for the shower but then everyone will see my CP before the wedding. I'm just PO'd after a few vodka sodas...

$100! she never told me this when I first went to her. she was like... sure just come in and I will show you a CP. I gave her a deposit after I made her make my bouquet the last time. She told me that she would have the CP for me in April after she sent the contract (didn't sign it though) and i asked her today... she THEN tells me it's $100. REALLY?

It's my BM best friend too. argh... I am going to tell her that she is out of budget already and she NEVER stated that she would charge me to see the CP. I am going to be nice and see that she waves it but I am nervous she will skimp me somewhere else.

That just isn't right, she should have told you ahead of time. Sorry... but hopefully she'll do a great job and your flowers will be amazing and worth it.

Re: Florist charges for sample

thanks everyone. she said she is willing to work with me if i don't like something. She is actually very good and highly regarded among my other vendors. I will see if she will waive it and ask her


again THANK YOU for everyone's input!
