I am starting my search for florists and I'd rather someone who works from home because I heard they work more with your budget which is pretty small in my case. Please let me know what you suggest. I wouldn't mind DIY'ing myself but honestly, I don't want the stress of doing it the day before and transporting it to the venue. I priced out my flowers at $400 but the time issue is too much. Any recommendations? Should I bite the bullet and DIY myself? Thanks.

Re: Recommend any florist who works from home?
Not sure what area you're in but if you're in the south area (close to 45S) then I recommend Kroger on beltway 8/Sabo floral dept, the person who does the bouquets used to be in the wedding planning business and does a great job. You should visit her for a quote.

I'm not sure if she still works out of her home, but I believe she at least used to...
Good luck!

The best thing I can recommend is visit with some professional florists and be honest with what your budget it. You'd be surprised how many companies will work with you if you are upfront and honest. Good luck!

I talked to her and she told me that her minimum was $1000. Um, nope <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" title="Cry" />
For my bouquet, 2 BM bouquets, mens bouts, toss bouquet, mothers flowers, 12 centerpieces... it was less than $700. But I didn't have any expensive flowers either.

Oh really? I didn't know she had a minimum! Sorry about that. Good luck with your search.

The ladies who did my flowers work out of their home and are budget friendly..
Also, I don't know if you are planning for Nigerian food but we had the BEST caterer for Nigerian food. Got TONS of compliments. I had to search high and low until I found someone who made good mass quantities of Nigerian food.
