I met with two florsits on Saturday (March 3rd) and one yesterday (March 7th) and I still haven’t received the quotes they said they would send. I wouldn’t expect the one from yesterday already but, the other two I thought for sure I would have had by now. At first I was excited that they can’t give the price on the spot because that takes the pressure away from booking right there without thinking it over but now I can’t wait, lol! How long did it take for you to get the quotes from your florists?

I’ve met with 3 different florists and all 3 gave me prices then and there at the first consultation.

@Frukaj: Really? If you don’t mind me asking, what did you ask for? Did you have pictures of exact flowers?

I met with my 2 florists and they gave me the price right then as well. I brought my inspiration pictures with me told them what I wanted and they did the quote right away.

I met with two florists and both took about a week to get back to me. It was during a busy wedding season and they of course had jobs in between our meeting and when I recieved the quote.
I wouldn’t be happy waiting any longer.

@Treejewel19: Thanks – I was starting to get worried since the other two posters said they got their quotes at the consult. I guess I will give it a few more days and then reach out.

I met with 3 florists. One took 18 days to give me a quote. One gave it to me a week later, and the third gave the quote to me the next day.

On average it should be anywhere from 10-14 days.

@orchid84: This makes me so nervous. It’s my own fault I waited so late but I want to get this booked and done and have one less thing to worry about.

I met with two; one gave me a quote within 3 days and the other took about a week and a half.

One gave us an initial quote even before meeting (we had sent her our inspiration pictures as we were planning long distance) and then revamped it within the same day we met her, the other three all worked out quotes for us at the consult. I would definitely have been antsy waiting over a week.

Well I had one waiting for me in my inbox when I came in this morning (one of the florists from Saturday). The other florist from Saturday said they would mail it so I am hoping to have it in my mailbox when I get home.

I met with one who works with the hotel. It took her about 3 days to get back to me with the quote. Don’t be afraid to negotiate!!

It took a month for ours which was no biggie.
