What should I do???

I went to this wedding expo yesterday in the city. They had a silent auction, and at first I just thought I was signing up for a sweepstakes. But before I knew it, I made a bid for $500 for a $1500 gift certificate for floral designs with Philip Baloun. Now I made the highest bid.
What should I do? Normally getting $1500 worth of flowers for only $500 is great, but this guy usually runs about $35000 for his work. I doubt I can get much for $1500.
What would you ladies do?
HELP

make an appt w/ them. if the quote is too high for the wedding, use the flowers towards birthdays. mother's day, easter, new baby, house warming etc

that's a great idea!
I was going to say, that maybe you could use the $1500 for just the reception or jsut the church, or just the church & bouquets, soemthign like that, depending on what you can get, and then use a different florist for the other. Maybe be a bit of a pain, but you may save $.
