Hey ladies, What type of questions should i be asking at floral appointments? Also were there any barganing methods you used? Just scheduled a few floral appointments for this weekend and next weekend (i'll have to go to some appointments by myself since it seems like most florists don't do sundays and thats when FH is off the next few weeks..) so i just wanted to be prepared! Thanks!

Re: What Q's do you ask the Florist?
They usually do all the asking. I brought pictures of the arrangements I liked so they had something to go off of. Do ask about delivery charges and tax. Sometimes you can negotiate those.

Re: What Q's do you ask the Florist?
This is what I have accumulated from other brides so far:
>Delivery charges? >Payment schedule? >When do you see your sample? Will you do sample prior to me booking? >You may want to ask how many flowers they're going to include in each arrangement. Some places will charge you an arm and a leg for, say, callas, put a ton in your sample, and skimp on the real thing. >It was most important to ask if the florist himself/herself would be at the wedding >Ask if they have any in-house centerpiece holders/stands/vases, because if they have to rent them, it's an additional expense. Ask to see them. >Bouquet size... my florist asked for the height of everyone getting a bouquet. This way they can adjust the size accordingly. >Pay in cash - no sales tax?

Re: What Q's do you ask the Florist?
you should ask about how many weddings they do in a day
how far in advance do they prepare your cps and bo-k's (that morning, the night before)
how do they keep their flowers/arrangements-are they kept in refrigerators-how long
