I met with a florist back in October for my July 4th Wedding. I had a great appointment! We went through everything I needed and he was supposed to send me an estimate. I recieved nothing. Then, I called after the Holidays and spoke with someone inquiring about my estimate and was told he would get back to me. Still nothing! His shop is the only game in town, so if I want real flowers, I would be looking into my local grocery store which does flowers. I am ok with that, but I really want the give the shop the business that helped me come up with ideas! Since I haven't heard from the original shop, I'm thinking of paper flowers. I could save $1000 or more. But it would take a lot of time. I have seen some pictures and they can look gorgeous! I have chosen hydrangeas and roses as my flowers, so it's doable. I could do real flowers for the bridesmaids, boutonnières, corsages, and my bouquet. Then do paper flowers for the reception tables. I just don't know what I should do?
