Negotiating Price with a Florist..... do or a don't?
I met with a few florists. Asked for the same amount/type of flower(s) to be used and was quoted different prices. I liked on vender, should I go back and negotiate the price I was given?

The florist I fell in love with was able to cut over $1000 when I mentioned a competitor's pricing! I wrote an email flattering them to no end, and then saying I really want to work with them but need to stay under $X amount and she met it! Good luck - no harm in asking! Remember they want your business as much as you want their service.
Wow! $1,000 cut off the price is amazing!! What were the 'extras' that the florist cut?

I feel your pain with having so many tables, I am going to have 22 tables and am starting to look at florists next week. If possible can you fm me who you met with and what you were quoted at.
Best of luck with negotiating with the florists, remember even if they don't meet your first request you can keep negotiating with them to meet in the middle somewhere so that you both compromise and are happy. At the end of the day they are making a huge profit on your wedding and would rather decrease the profit then lose it all together.
