ok....I love the centerpieces that I have pics of in my album.....BUT, I don't know if I will like something else if I keep looking?!?!?
That was the first CP we saw at our first florist appt.....but I don't know how to pick a CP other than that one???
Did you girls have something in mind when you went in?? Did you girls see something in your florists show room? Did you show them pics online that you liked??
AHHHH!! The place that we have pics of in our album is realllly expensive so I don't know if I should show those pics to other florists and ask them how much they would charge or just look for new ones??!!?
help?

Re: I am getting so CONFUSEDDDD
i was very much like you. when i first went to florist appointment i had zero clue what i wanted cuz i hadnt seen anything that i loved. then thank God when i went to Flower Michele who I booked, I had a picture that i loved with me. (i think if it wasnt for this as much as I love flower michele, i would still be confused as to a vision of my cps so i might not have booked). Anyway, after that i of course kept looking like we all do and i found something else that i loved even more...it was actually on platinum weddings so i went on the WE site and found a pic. Anyway, since that point, i have seen other things i loved at bridal showcases and the florist and i havent changed my total vision but ive tweaked and added on.
Soooo, i think you should look at a lot of pics and the best is to look at the actual cps at bridal showcases. If you keep loving cps that have something similiar between all of them, let your florist knwo that and he could use your initial idea for a cp and then add on and change a few things to incorporate ideas for other cps that you also love just as much.

Re: I am getting so CONFUSEDDDD
i had an album of pics i saw online but when i went, the prices were astronomical. when a florist tells you you have high taste, somethings wrong there!
i sat there and worked with my florist until i felt we were both fine with price and qaulity/looks. i just haven't seen a sample yet

Re: I am getting so CONFUSEDDDD
i found pics online of what i wanted and it just so happened that the one i liked was one from their website. i love my florist and hope the centerpieces look similar. i would def do some searching online to make sure you like what u have.

Re: I am getting so CONFUSEDDDD
I printed out a bunch of pics that I found online that caught my eye and brought them to my florist. He also showed me his portfolio with examples of his work. I'm going back there in about 2 weeks so that he can show me some samples, and then we'll go from there.

Re: I am getting so CONFUSEDDDD
I emailed a few florists some pics of what I liked and explained what kind of look I had in mind. I told them my price range and asked them to be creative, but use the pictures are a guideline. The only one who really did anything for me before I arrived for the appt is Gina -> Flowers & Designs by Gina. She was awesome and let me keep the CP as well. She knew we were still shopping around, didn't hound us and never pushed a contract. I would suggest you do the same... make appts and send some pics of what you like along with a realistic budget...ask what they can do. They can be very creative.

Re: I am getting so CONFUSEDDDD
For me, all I knew was I needed to have Hydragena in my CP's and the CP needed to be compacted/tight./circular. I went to a couple of appts and looked for that. My florist, Flowers by Gina hit it on the nail. Take a look, the rest of the pics are in my album.
