Our Married Life

I just got back from an appt with Mockingbird Lane Florist. It was very uneventful and useless. The owners had an emergency so they weren’t there to talk to me, and I had to talk to a different consultant. Basically all we did was sit there while he asked me what all I needed. 3 bouquets, corsages and boutinnieres, etc. That was all he asked. Nothing. No samples. I asked if I could see pictures of flowers just so I know what kind of flowers I want. Instead he showed me samples of arrangements.

It was kinda frustrating and I didn’t want to sit there and ask too many questions since I was on a lunch break. He said he’ll get me a quote for all the arrangements I asked for. Seriously, how the heck are you supposed to give a quote on something that you dont even know what it’s going to look like. Quotes vary by flower types, size, and the types of vases, etc. Maybe it’s just the preliminary quote, but that makes it pretty useless. I wanted to discuss details like should I have ribbons on my bouquet, or what kind of minor details I want on the centerpieces, leaves or berries or fruit.

I guess maybe this is how the process really is.

I think as far as arrangements goes, I’m gonna make it a DIY project. I’d have to get the bouquet from a florist but everything else will be made my moi.

We’ll see what the quote says first….
