My first visit to the florists update

ok ladies i told you i was going to perrys florist in ronknonama and James Cress in smithtown. I wanted to tell you guys how it went.

Perrys Florists...They new a lot about different kinds of flowers but were like 2300.00 To expensive for us. Plus they charged a deleviary fee and tax even if we paid them cash.

James Cress- Ok i know a couple of you said they were expensive but mine and FH experiance was great. They were a little pricey about 2000.00. Butthe guy rich we met with was awesome. He really worked with our budget and gave us different ideas on what we could do to save some money. I know they are a lil pricey but we feel if we book with them the quality would be amazing, and he said if we do cash we will get no tax for the first 1000.00.

we are still going to check out burtons since like all of you recommended them lol...Thanks agian guys for all your help :)

What did those prices include? That price sounds amazing to me.

We priced out
18-20 mixed high and low centerpieces
1 chuppah/arch for ceremony
1 bride's bouq.
1 MOH Bouq
3 MOB flowers
1 Escort Card Table centerpiece
and some small stuff like candles and pedals for cocktail hour ...

our quote was $5150......absolutly crazy
It was from Spitz & Peck and we are obligated to go with them or Stefans.

Did anyone pay the waiver fee not to use the required vendor?

that's crazy! it sounds like they're taking advantage of the fact that you don't have the option to shop around.
