We got mostly white flowers in the center pieces. We told her we wanted a cascading bouquet with varied flowers, including pink roses of different shades with wispy foliage, the more woodsy natural look. We got one shade of pink roses and white roses with some foliage. The bridesmaids got white hydrangeas with a few roses and the maid of honor got a very slightly larger bouquet, perhaps one more rose. It was difficult to differentiate her bouquet. The mothers of bride and groom got one white rose with baby's breath, not what we wanted. We asked for pink. We pointed out from pictures she showed us what we wanted, but the bouquets did not look like what she showed us. The groomsmen's boutonnieres-- I asked her the first meeting for colored calla lilies and she declared there were no colored calla lilies. The second meeting, she mocked me when I told her that contrary to her assertion, there were colored lilies and she snarkily denied that she said there were no such flowers. So, I said that I wanted pink lilies for the groomsmen and a white lily for the groom, and wispy foliage. We got pink roses with baby's breath for the groomsmen and a white rose for the groom. We were supposed to have an outdoor Chuppah with branches but it rained. She told us branches were not appropriate for the shul Chuppah, so we asked for flowers. We got plastic bubblegum-colored flowers. We were supposed to have flowers on the table with the the guest names and table numbers-we got plastic flowers. We paid for a lighting package: $500. It was just pink lit walls, not worth the $500. We had not heard from her since we met (only twice). Three days before the wedding, my daughter called, texted and messaged on FB; no answer. It was not until the last available day did we hear from her. Her manner from the beginning was cold, short and not at all friendly. I expected much better for the $5824. I would not recommend her to anyone. While we enjoyed the wedding and the flowers were not ugly, they were not what we wanted.

  Florist $1,000 - Rosedale, MD (21237) Hi I'm sorry if this isn't the right format to post, but can you guys give me ideas about how much you spent on flowers for your wedding? My wedding budget is so small and I have a ton of anxiety about it and I start to freak out when I think about stArting to call florists because I don't know what a reasonable budget is to tell them and I don't want to feel embarrassed about the number I decide to budget for flowers. If It helps at all, I'm having 75 guests, 3 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen, and its an October wedding in Bel Air, MD. Also If anyone used a florist in that area that they loved, please feel free to share!!

  Joyce K. asked:

  I think I asked once before, but are there any recommendations on a florist since the Village Florist closed? One that you have used before and had good service. Thank you.
