So far this is my SECOND florist appointment....really like Barbara...she was very easy to work with and saw through my flower schitzoness and information overload...came up witha DOPE idea for CPs...one question though....is anyone else using them....how are the in negotiations....she quoted me a decent price but i feel like the bo-k are a little high...anyone else? Any tips on getting them to come down?

Re: Went to Flower Michele today
hey jackass i tried calling you...so this is where you were ey?
ok so I have: my bok MOH bok 7BM bok 1 jr bm bok 1 fg arrangement for a basket MOB presentation MOG presentation 2 grandma corsages
BOYS: FH BM 7 Ushers 1 jr usher 2 dads
Church: 10 pewbows w/ hydrangea and roses 2 flower baskets
RH: 17 cp-2 high- Trees yes they are trees 15 low- moss, fruit, flowers (its an earth day wedding, what do you expect)
extra florals for the serving trays, cake flowers and toss
I'm putting the bridesmaid's bok's on the dais table to decorate it because I'm cheap I'm putting astroturf myself on the escort table so i didn't include that and i might float candles in the CH tables, so that's not included either.
The quote was for a little over $2600+tax is that good? I think the BM bok's can be cheaper....

i went to them and they got me down to 1k but i do not have church decor or as many members of the bridal party. The first florist I visited gave me a slightly lower price but I was not getting the extra's she was throwing in such as petals, extra flowers that weren't used, etc.
I have two more appointments to figure out where the prices are so it will be interested to see what people say on your post.

I am using them and think they are pretty reasonable. Your price sounds good, I've seen the trees they make for centerpeices and they're pretty elaborate.

They are great! They are reasonable and willing to work with your budget. Tell them how much you have to spend and Im sure they will help you out. I was iffy on my bouquet price as well, and I voiced it. You should do the same.

WOW that is a good price. I have seen a lot of really good price quotes. FH and I are so bad, we had a Flower Michelle app that we were early for, so we waited a while, got restless and left.

I would say that is a great price. Sounds like you are getting alot...my first 2 florist quotes were 5500 and 4100. I am paying around 2800 for a similiar setup as you.
