OKKKK....so I just got back from meeting with my florist to see yet another sample and it is NOTHING LIKE WHAT I WANTED. In fact I think it is ugly!!!! The flowers are mostly purples and my dress is a shade of pink. I wanted my centerpieces to have various shades of pink in it as well. I am paying $3500 for these crappy flowers. I am cancelling him and going to Flower Michele.
i agree with you...these aren't very pretty... there's a lot of green

Re: Just got back from florist
It's all green....and I told him I wanted as little green as possible. Plus I am paying $3,500 dollars for flowers and I am not getting anything special from him (roses and a ton of stock and some stargazer lillies). These are not expensive flowers but I guess his are.
Just to show you....these are pictures I went to him with for ideas. I told him maybe not the exact colors or exact type of flower....but something along these lines. And than you can compare that to what he gave me. What an a**hole.
WOW, that looks nothing like you wanted. If you go to Flower Michelle, tell him to do the exact centerpiece you have on the bottom. Also try La Blossoms, very reasonable.
Don't tell them to do any type of flowers. It seems he just went with mostly green to save money on flowers. $3,500 is alot of money, and its seems like he is ripping you off, by giving you alot of greens. Alot of florist do this.
I am sorry!!!
I am having pink dresses as well, I am getting centerpieces with different shades of pink and white peonies and roses. I was going to have the girls have BK of dark pink and white roses, MOH have white roses with pink calla lilies, and BK is my chat avatar pic. The florist I am using, says she uses little to no greens. If you want my florist name, FM me.
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear that you wasted all that time and you were not happy. Your sample looks nothing like your pictures. You schould try Pedestals you are doing something very similar to me and they made it for me and it came our amazing. I had met with John at FLower Michele but Pedestals had given me a better deal. I dealt with Robert and have been very happy with them.

Thanks for your help! I showed him a bunch of pictures of the look and color I was going for and this is nothing like what I wanted. It was what he wanted and he told me today that this centerpiece is very elegant. ***!!!!

Re: Just got back from florist
Wow! Yeah, I agree, those flowers are not pretty at all...almost look wilted/dried. Flower Michelle is wonderful! I think you will like them a lot. Just bring it pictures of what you want and they will do it for you! Sorry that happened to you though
