Florist Questions?

We have a florist included in our package for our reception to do our center pieces but where we are getting married is about 45mins to an hour from our reception. Would you use a local florist for the bouquets and church or keep everything with the one that is included in the package? I wasn't sure if anyone else is in a similar position and what you did. I don't know if it would be too confusing to have 2 different? Thanks.

I am...I'm at Adelphias and they include all my centerpieces through Grove florist so I'm using them for just that.....I'm using Mum's the Word for my flowers , my girls and everything else.  I'm actually not getting flowers for the church 1.) b/c I think they are a waste of $ and never noticed them at others weddings and 2.) I'm getting married on new years eve and the church is filled with Christmas trees and poinsettas.I don't think it would make a difference if you use someone else closer for the church and all

I would use somebody close to home for your bouquets and then use the other florist through your caterer for centerpieces.  Nobody will notice if your centerpieces match your bouquets exactly except you! We used our church florist for simple altar arrangements that were used for church the next day as well.  We had a seperate florist for our bouquets.  If I hadn't made our centerpieces, we would have used the caterer's florist for our centerpieces.  GL!
