I have had my flowers for my Nov. 10th wedding priced out by a family friend who owns a party/wedding rental shop.. unfortunately, although they've been life long friends, I feel a little ripped off by the price she gave me. I've chosen flowers that will be in season and have not gone overboard with them.. the typical bouquets, bouts, centerpieces (again, all with cheap in-season flowers) and they priced me at about double my budget. Several of my friends have had friends of their that are ex-florists or florists that have sold their shops (but still have all the great connections) do their wedding for ridiculously cheap (wholesale price, usually). I'm looking for somebody in the Phoenix area who would be willing to help me out! I'd be willing to pay a couple hundred over wholesale price fro labor, etc. Anybody out there who used to be a florist that's willing to help me out in November?
