I had contacted a Philadelphia company and showed them a picture of flowers from a lavish wedding, but expressly said, I don't want the size of these centerpieces, nor the same quality, just the effect of different flower centerpieces on different tables.&nbsp;</p> <p>They came back and said I had a great taste but the flowers I was looking at, in particular the French Tulips, would be $400, and that baby's breath would be $250.00 per table and that with my budget (around $4000 max) they could only accomodate my personal flower order.</p> <p>I found it so ridiculous I've been turned off to the whole experience completely.And my wedding is four months away. Luckily there is a Russian florist around here and we might be able to get some bang for our buck since the owner knows some of my in-laws.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/rude-after-rude-florist-they-must-not-need-the-business#post-3221341 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:30:51 +0000 Eireann 3221341@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My first experience was a rude one.. and the second person I went to was wonderful, but had a $2,000 minimum service charge!! ACK! And she never told us that in the first place... still on the hunt and running out of time :/</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-with-these-tall-trumpet-vases#post-3221209 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:59:28 +0000 BrideEK 3221209@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Thank you so much, brides!

These are also available on Save-on-crafts. &nbsp;They are the same as used for the plume arrangements. &nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/what-can-i-do-with-these-tall-trumpet-vases#post-3219211 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 09:56:22 +0000 TerriH 3219211@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p><a href="#post-3211670">@BrideEK:</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>In order to create a larger floral arrangement on the top you can use the bouquet handles with a foam ball on top.

Sometimes the people that we would expect to be our biggest supporters, cause the most trouble and heartache for us. In all of this, you just need to remember a few things: This day is about you and your FI, not your mom, your aunt, or anyone else that feels that you should satisfy them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sure you're doing a wonderful job planning! Don't let her get you down about the things that she thinks you're doing wrong. Do it the way you want to. If she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to be a part of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm sure that the added stresses of carrying a baby and planning the last bits of your wedding aren't helping. You have to try to stay as stress-free as possible, because, as I'm sure you know, your baby feels any stress that you're feeling.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sending positive thoughts and energy your way *hugs*</p>
