Flower Michele brides-?? on samples you see B4 wedding

I know we see a CP. We have an appt with John next week to take care of that. But do we also see a sample of the bo-ks?
And when do you finalize what flowers you want, and all the little things? When you see your CP or when you go in to make the last payment? I have everything at home but just wanted to get some feedback on FM brides.
Thanks.

I was a Flower Michele bride and couldn't be more happy with my flowers - you are in good hands!! John showed me a sample CP but not a bo-ks- he did show me some flowers together in his hand to get an idea of what it would look like.

When I met him to inalize the flowers, you go over the delivery times and locations and last minute details. I completely changed some things when I met with him ( i.e. I orinaglly wanted closed stems and when with open ones) I had to make my last payment about 20 days before the wedding which was after I had my last meeting - check your contract, mine set out when the last payment was due.

Thanks Tanbride. I checked my contract and I have to pay about 20 days before the wedding.
Thanks for your feedback.
