She is a goddess of flowers (among other things) isn''t she?

Says the cake and cupcake and BUTTERCREAM goddess.

We are blessed with a lot of snarky, talented, obsessive women on this board. LOL.

Awww...you''re such a sweetie!!!

<--snarky, talented, and obsessive (to put it mildly with the first and last ones at least!)

Hi. Me again. Remembered two things. Tell them to simplify the ribbon wrap treatment on the BM bouquets. Just a simple wrap with a bow or with pearl head pins is fine for those. "French knot ribbon detailing " means extra money on something that is practically worthless.


The low centerpeices will have rentals too. So ask them what they are charging you for that.

Near as I can figure they are charging you a LOT of money for non-floral stuff. All of it can be re-envisioned and re-done with a LOT less expense.

Duly noted. Thank gawd for cut and paste features

I happen to know that this florist purchased her candleabrums from a hugely popular wedding catering/coordinator/florist that moved to work primarlily in the Los Angeles area, so she isn''t renting them. (If he hadn''t moved, we wouldn''t be having issues, because he would be our guy) Knowledge is king. We can''t thank you enough!!

Okay then, it''s just a matter of how much SHE is going to charge YOU to rent them from HER. And you have lots of room to negotiate if she owns them.

Let us know how it turns out!

did you just refere to yourself as a GILF? Like a MILF? That''s aewsome.

 

[miraclesrule]

That was my daughter''s choice of words, but maybe I suggested it, I don''t remember now. I didn''t even know what a MILF was until one of her friends called me one and I was like "HUH...what''s a MILF" Oh, and I did that out loud in a full restaurant. Yeah, then she whispered it in my ear.

:::shrugs::::

I''m getting better with acronyms now. Out of an effort not to embarrass myself. Like the whole STD thing...that had me worried. Who knew??

ya know, STD is still one abbreviation that i just can''t use in the bridal context!

Yeah the first time I read it I was like, why in the world would someone celebrating getting a STD?

Sometimes I am a ditz.
