Wait for the economy to tank. Then negotiate.
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 :)
I just got two quotes out of four for the flowers. I can't get over how expensive the bridal bouquets are! I'm using hydrangeas and roses...its not like they are super pricey. $185 for a bridal bouquet is just outrageous. Overall with other decor I got some things crossed off the list to bring it down to $1, 600.00...still WAY more than what I was expecting. I don't want fake. (I just don't want to put them together myself) Actually I have found those to be expensive too. So now its about negotiation...IF I can get my bouquets down I will be satisfied...I'm not sure how to go about this without coming off bitchy? Ya know what I mean?
Ugh.
@Shamrocks2117: What if you just go about it by asking how much it is wholesale if she were to sell you the flowers, *outloud* debate to yourself if it would be worth it, hum and haw about the extravagant price and then ask her if she can go down to... $140? I don't know how large the boquet is or how many flowers are in it or anyting, but where I live $140-$200 is pretty average for a normal bridal bouqet.

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.
