I met with the florist yesterday and I thought we'd be looking at flower arrangements, putting together ideas, and getting a real visual of what my bouquet would look like. Instead, she asked me a bunch of questions, had me look through her book, and pulled up pictures of flowers on google. I understand that they wouldn't have all flowers on hand, but I just thought I'd be looking at more examples in person. At the very end of the meeting she ended up showing me a few bouquets she had in the cooler so I could at least see the quality of the bouquets which is very nice.
Is this normal that you don't really get to put together a sample of your bouquet? It's just hard to imagine spending $1000 on flowers when I won't even get to see anything until the day of.
