We're getting mock-ups from our florist. I wouldn't be comfortable not knowing exactly what everythings going to look like on the wedding day!
As far as cost goes - it really does depend on where you're getting married, and what you're doing for flowers. :)
In my experience, florists will do mock-ups for higher end weddings. I've worked at two different retail florists, one in a medium-sized city and one in a big city, and neither did samples for weddings. Both places relied on word-of-mouth to speak for the quality of their work. I also have worked at an event production company, and mock-ups are standard, but the budgets are much bigger.
My company specializes in more intimate (i.e. lower budget) weddings, and does not offer mock-ups. If a client really wants a sample, I offer them if they are willing to pay the expense. Because I do not have a storefront, I have no other way to recoup the cost of mock-ups. And because I want to continue to be affordable to my clients, I don't want to be forced to work the cost of mock-ups into my pricing.
My 2 cents!
I'm actually not sure if mine is doing one.
The price depends a lot on where you are, the type of flowers you chose and how many you got. Did you get out-of-season flowers?
Similar to Miss Casanova, I wouldn't feel comfortable putting down a deposit without knowing what I'm going to be seeing on my wedding day. Of course, things can always change--there could be a sudden shortage of one flower, and they might h ave to replace it with something else, but I definitely want to be able to look at a mostly-decided on representation of my centerpieces/tablescape, etc before the day of the wedding. I don't think I"m being charged extra for the mockup, but as pp said, it might also depend on your location/total floral budget.
