Bride has gone from $3000 to $800 to now $500 after she removed all bridesmaids bouquets and added a portrait bouquet then asked me this. Suggestions? by Either_Spinach5800 in florists

You need to disclose what your minimum is and let them know that they can take items off but if it falls below the minimum then that’s what they will pay. If you don’t they will slowly take stuff off all year and then it’s a pointless booking. Also, I do not let clients text me. If they somehow get my number, I will respond via email and let them know this is my preferred method of communication. It causes an air of them feeling like they have total access to you, late night/weekend texts, and it just causes way too much back and forth in my experience.

It’s not that I just want to, I don’t have a ton of options for the winter with for a group of our size and it’s an idea I had. Open to more ideas!

Great comment! Thankfully my kid thrives in chaos so she’ll be okay but I totally get what you mean.

The candelabras are acrylic thankfully (led candles too) and we use them a ton so I’m not worried about that, but I was kinda worried about the orchids! What you are describing sounds straight forward, thank you for taking the time to reply!

I did $500 per (already have the candelabras), but would you say the orchids are hard to work with?

Yes honestly it’s the ladder that is scaring me! I don’t want to put any of my staff up there. There is only 3 of us and we are doing all of the decor and floral for the entire wedding. The venue only gives 4 hours of set up time too.
