Ready for Flowers!

Ok ladies, I am booking my photographer/videographer and DJ this week if it kills me!

On to flowers next, any recommendations? I want the lowest prices...I already know what I want so I'm going based on price and quality, but flowers are an area I'm NOT going over budget! :)

Is there an advantage to using the house vendors? I can understand if you are trying to save on vendor meals, but florists don't stay for dinner, so what would be the advantage?

NO!
Learned this quickly. Originally I was going to book (unmentioned place) & one of their DJs gave us a price, we went back after we booked Leonard's. suddenly it was about 300 cheaper, asked why. He told me, they have to raise in house rates because they pay the RH a percentage. Happened with a few vendors. Just my experience of what I was told
Distinctive floral! And if you mention LIWeddings they give a break too!

Depends on where you live but local florists offer awesome pricing. We went with Shoreham Florist and got an AMAZING deal.


I agree. I went with a local florist and had a great experience. The personality between a mom/pop business and a large company is what sold me. Also, there is so much overhead at a large company and I didn't want to pay for it. My florist also made me a sample centerpiece before I signed a contract or gave a deposit.
