Hi Bees,

I need some advice on how to go about booking a florist.

I visited my first florist and got back her proposal with prices.  She offered to show me a mock up of the centerpiece.  Did anyone ask to see samples of the brides and the bridesmaids bouquets before committing to a florist?  My main priority is the centerpieces so I definitely want to see those but do brides generally ask to see a sample of the bouquet before booking with someone?  I would definitely like to see one before the wedding of course but didn't know what the typical way of approaching a 2nd consultation is.  Thanks!
