Went to Expo yesterday & officially depressed...

I cried last night because I did not like any of the package centerpieces the house florist offered and they are so rigid, they will not deviate from the packages!! The one that I remotely liked with a hurricane/taper candle had CARNATIONS in it....I am NOT using carnations.....what do I do now???

I'm so sorry you are having a hard time. Do you absolutely have to use this company?

I'm making my own centerpieces - what do you think about that possibility? FM me if you want suggestions.

Re: Went to Expo yesterday & officially depressed...

Yep...that would be them....now I'm considering doing them myself in silk with FMIL or using my other florist that is doing the personal flowers!!

Shana,

You don't have to use them. We looked into this because as I said Phil wants to create his own centerpieces.

You get a credit towards your reception.

i'm sorry about that! see if you can use a different florist. it seems like you should be able to do an up grade of some kind. i don't know of many brides who would like to use carnations in their center peices. especially, when the one you like has roses and not even a huge amount.

Re: Went to Expo yesterday & officially depressed...

Does anyone have any ideas on making their own c-pieces? Would it be tacky to do my own in silk???

I am sure you dont have to use the house florist. I wasnt happy with my house florists prices so I went to Flowers by Burton and booked them that day. I highly recommend them.
