Corona and Flowers?

Since my initial florist from Kroger was being shady, we parted ways. Instead, I made an appt. two weeks out from a friend’s florist from another Kroger. She told me he was awesome and knew how to work your vision in a budget, like $20-30 centerpieces. I waited long because he told me a new florist director starts that day.


So yesterday I call for my appt. as habit just in case. Turns out he’s on vacation until Monday...so I think he forgot our appointment so the lady said I could meet with her. So I drive over there and it was completely pointless.
This lady sounded like Eeyore the donkey, and she did not care at all about my wants. She didn’t even try to look at my inspiration and she said that the smallest centerpieces would cost $70 and there’s no way it’s $20-30. I said I wanted the cheapest flowers, I just cared for the colors. I told her other Kroger’s quoted me around the $20ish range and she said there’s no way. I tried showing her photos and she barely looked at it. To make matters worst, she’s the new director of floral. She may have been mad due to corona because I tried calling another Kroger florist and we made an appt. but then she cancelled because she said due to corona all the florals will close now.
I was disappointed, no way Kroger charges $70 min. for flowers! I Have to make a decision by next week because of another floral company called FlowerMan. They give great customer service and worked with my vision. They will give me a quote by Sunday and I have 1-2 days to book to keep a 30% discount (800 for 15 centerpieces, bouquets, etc.). It is DIY party with a coach before the wedding so it’s well within my budget but I wanted to avoid troubling my bridal party with taking time off to arrange flowers for a few hours and then rehearsal on a different day....depending on the venues availability, I can’t control the rehearsal date.
Would you go ahead and just take the DIY flower company or wait to see if Kroger has flowers within same pricing to avoid troubling your wedding party? I have no idea how long this coronavirus will last to know Kroger’s quote.
