So FH and I went to visit one of the florists provided by the package deal we got at RH. Now the way the RH explained it to me was the flowers they included was my flowers, MOH, FH, BM, parents flowers and 10 centerpieces. Thats how its written in the booklet they gave me, thats how it was explained to me verbally and Im fairly sure thats whats written in my contract. However, the florist told me all the RH pays for is $430. So I'm a little upset they didnt specify that to me. Am I wrong for not asking? Or should I be upset and speaking to them for not bringing that up?
Also, seeing how you girls know everything!! After all is said and done we were quoted about $1270 for (after deducting the $430 RH covers): 1) My flowers of roses, gerber daisies and mini carns 2) four all white rose bouquets for my MOH and bridesmaids and a FG basket with petals inside 3) one red rose bout for FH and 4 white rose ones for BM and groomsmen plus another 2 white ones for our fathers 4) two white rose corsages for our mothers 5) three red rose pins for our readers 6) ten CP's that consist of red rose and white Hydrangea (sp?) that are medium sized and rose petals and small votives around mine and FH table and the cake.
Is this quote too high for what we're getting? FH thinks its outrageous but if it were up to him Id be making all the CP's and boq's.
Thanks girls!

It's very possible and I guess Im ok if thats the case, I guess I'm just bothered by the fact that when I sat there and asked them what was included they didnt specify ANYWHERE that they were only going to allocate $430 to flowers regardless of what I got.

Definitely check the fine print on your contact and the paperwork for the florist. If the paperwork states you get, this that, etc. then thats what you should get!!!! Definintely argue about this!!!

It sounds fair to me. Usually when RH's say they cover flowers, they cover one type, the least expensive possible, and probably not what you picked out. Most RH's don't cover flowers at all, so getting 430 is better than nothing. I think if you did it yourself, with what you are having, you wouldn't be paying too much less and would be giving yourself a major headache!

The quote is great, but I would still contact the RH AND EXPRESS MY CONCERNS.

I would contact the RH and express my concerns, as well. If they don't specify in your contract that they only cover $430, then that is their problem. You should call them for clarification.
That being said, that is actually a very fair quote. If you want to cut it down, I think hydrangeas are expensive. It might be significantly less if you cut them out or cut them down.

Thanks guys! I'm definitely going to review the contract when i get home and before i call them.
And I thought it was a fair quote too but sometimes my FH can be the king of penny pinchers. He said 'Ask the LIW girls, they are all knowing' So Im going to print this out and show him the all knowing agree with me about the quote!
