so i just got a quote from my florist and it was about 2x what i thought it would be. it's the cheapest options we can do so unfortunately, there isn't much i can take off what she is providing us. is it even worth trying to negotiate just for the sake of negotiation? sigh.
Okay, more seriously, get another quote or two from other florists -- they can be vastly different, and having other numbers to refer to can help when negotiating. Also ask about flower substitutions -- that can really change your budget picture, and besides all flowers are pretty :)
