Ahhhh I hate when people try to rip you off! As some of you know my RH drama (my fault...well FMIL fault - not RH)
I have an amazing florist for my reception but I still have their house florist credit.... so i decided to use them just for the cocktail hour and aisle (how can you mess up babys breath with no other flower)
They are trying to tell me that what I want (all babys breath) is gonna be an upgrade from the rose daisy and babys breath flowers they provide to me at a credit!
Are you JOKING!?!?! Baby's breath is a filler flower and way cheaper than almost all other flowers.
Needless to say I ripped her head off and now she is going to look at my pictures of what I want and re-do her quote.
PS: I am also providing all the ribbon and most likely the vases too... they just need to give me the baby's breath.
If i filled the entire RH with baby's breath it would still be cheaper than the quote they gave me.
So a word of advice - make sure you know what flowers cost what before you meet with a florist - that is the easiest place to get ripped off because they assume you don't know any better!
ok Rant over thanks for listening.
PS: I am coming to the island this weekend if anyone wants to try and have a brides brunch on sunday in the massapequa area!!!!

How is baby breath an upgrade from roses, daisies, & baby breath?? If you take away things it is a downgrade lol I would have killed the florist through the phone. I am going to have to do alot of research before going to look at florist- I know nothing

That is crazy! I think the whole word knows that it is a filler flower. Glad you straightened her out.
