Okay so i was planning on going thru my friends sister..
and when i asked her to make me a sample arrangment she asked if she can do it in fake flowers WTF! I mean to me there is a big difference between fake and real flowers… Like i can do a fake arrangement, i want a REAL one lol.
Am I being to crazy?? I mean im to the point where i am offering to pay because i want to see the flowers real. She doesn’t do this full time just as a side job. So obviously she doesn’t have real roses just laying around but if you are going to have a potential client. Shouldnt you make it real?

perhaps she doesn’t have the extra money to buy the real ones? or doesn’t want to “waste” them on an arrangement you don’t like?
maybe you could offer to buy the roses for the trail run? or even ask why she wants to do the trail run in artificial flowers, explaining you thought it would be with real flowers and don’t understand this. that way you’re coming off gracious, interested and curious, and not a bridezilla (which, btw, I don’t think you’re being).
maybe after you hear the reason she gives, you could offer to buy the real ones and she can do the trail run. or, keep questioning her reason if it doesn’t sound like a valid one, until she gives in or gives a better reason.
good luck!!!

I think she didn’t have the extra money. But i want to see the roses she will be getting to make sure they are going to hold up. I did leave her a message offering to buy the flowers because i want to see the ones she is going to be getting. Plus fake flowers you can move then anyway because the wire how am i surei will like th design if she is unable to move the flowers like fake ones.

ahhhhh… I completely understand both sides. I think since you offered to purchase the flowers, it shouldn’t be a problem, especially since this is a side-job for her. I also understand wanting to be certain that what she does is what you’ll get! especially since you’ll be paying her to do it (i’m guessing on that, lol).
hopefully she’ll get back to you soon, accept your offer, and have a very awesome arrangement (or at least the photos you take before they dry/die) for you that you can drool over until your wedding 😉
