Flower estimate for Monika

I'm not quite sure why my post was taken off, I am a vendor out of NJ. I have no intention of soliciting my services to Long Island. I am at this website because my sister is getting married in East Hampton in September of 2000. If my post is going to be denied I will no longer try to help out Long Island brides with florist information.

Most of the brides out there are right, the wedding business is a scam and I try to help people out by giving them information to help them make the right decisions. Myself, I charge the normal markup on florist flowers and the time for delivery. Sorry I tried to help!

When I first started planning my wedding I had the same concern as you. But as the wedding gets closer I am really looking forward to that quite time together. Based on the information that you have provided here on the board I think that your wedding is going to be approx. the same time as mine. I am getting married at 10am on 2/26/2000 (only 58 days away). Since the wedding is at 10am the photographer is going to arrive at my house at 7:30am. From this you can just imagine what time hair and makeup is going to be. Actually, I am starting to wonder why I am going to sleep at all!! I will be getting in late from the rehearsal diner the night before the wedding plus all of the last minute running around that I will be doing the week of the wedding. The way I see it, I will be so tired by the time the wedding is over that I will be glad to just cuddle up with my new husband and go to sleep!! My Mom is having some out of town guest drop by the house after the wedding so we might make a guest appearance there (15 min tops) but I doubt that we even do that. Our flight is not until 3pm the next day so we have a late check out, and I am confident that we will need an alarm to wake us up that day. I hope that this helps you out!! Enjoy those first few hours of marriage together and reflect on the wonderful event that has just taken place!! Best of Luck

June (and the LI weddings message board) -

I found your posting informative because I really have no idea about how much flowers are going to cost and think that such information from vendors would help brides to be from getting ripped off!

I too found your information to be very helpful. Thank you everyone for your help. Atleast now I will be able to judge what a good price range is for flowers and not worry if I'm getting ripped off.

Once again, thanks everyone!! :-)

But I"m opting to take his last name b/c I like the idea of having a "family name"....even if we never have children - it represents our family/our unit.

Unfortunately, I missed the message. Would you be able to give us an idea about what price ranges we can expect? I need EVERYTHING--from my runner to bouquets to loose rose petals. Any information would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

It has many benefits - no bounced checks, no extra ATM fees, AMEX won't let you carry a balance so there are no finance charges AND - most importantly - there is an account of what you spent all of your money on! I used to just look at my statement with all those ATM withdrawls and never really know where all that cash went! (regular bank cards are good too but just make sure you pay it off each month or the FCs add up!)

In addition, if you have a Delta Skymiles card, you can earn points towards your honeymoon! Our airline tix are paid for already! : )
