Who is your florist? Any special things to keep in mind when meeting with a florist?

Jack and Rose-
I had a great deal of pictures with me of what I wanted for Bo-ks, pew decorations, cake flowers, centerpieces, - basically every part of the wedding that I needed flowers for. I was very specific about my wedding colors and brought pictures. I brought up specific types of flowers I was considering using.
It is very important to bring a very detailed list of everything you need and how many you need- Personal Flowers, BP flowers, family flowers, centerpieces, floral arrangements for church, guestbook table, flower petals etc.
These are things you may or may not want, but just make sure you have a specific list with you! Good Luck!

LA Blossom -- a lot of girls on here are using Laurie. She is so wonderful. I am getting everything for very affordable prices and to top it off she is always accessible to help you with any aspec tof the wedding.
I noticed about her that unlike the other florists I met with, she is really creative and didnt give me a forumla of what to have. One florist sat down and was like 'You get this many pew bows, 2 altar arrangments, and cps that look like this for this price' That really annoyed me! Laurie sat down with me for 2 hours and we looked at photos and discussed creative decor and centerpieces. And I am always FMing her about everything and she is soo hel pful! its like having a weddign planner too!!
Please FM her -- she will even give you a quote online.

Re: Florists
I second LA Blossom. Like was said by Mrs. Brad, Laurie is really creative. She is so nice and she makes things feel more personal than just going to some large floral shop. She only does one wedding a day, opposed to 30 like the other place I visited. I liked that aspect of her business too, because it makes me feel like there is little to no chance things can get mixed up. I would e-mail her her if I were you just to compare, if nothing else.
