Recently, more and more brides want to email a list of flowers to us and have us give them a quote for their wedding--without ever talking to a real person. I have problems with this approach.
First, it usually means that the bride has emailed 20 florists and is just looking for the cheapest quote. This is a horrible way to get your wedding flowers. Remember the old adage "you get what you pay for". Some flower shops will lowball the quote just to get you in the door, and then you find out the price is actually much higher. Other shops will bid low, and the cheap flowers will reflect the bid.
Not us. When you pick a shop like Visser's, that has years and years of experience, and one works hard at maintaining a great reputation, you don't have to worry about your wedding flowers.
When you look back at your wedding, either in your pictures or in your memories, flowers will play an extremely important part. Give them the attention they deserve.
Finally, it doesn't cost anything but a little time to come in and talk to a wedding consultant. It's their job to make sure you are happy. They can tell you how to get the most for your money, and how to best create the magic that you are striving for. Be honest with them--give them your budget (the real one) and share your vision. You will be amazed with the results.

that is such a tricky thing to do, it's only inevitable that the customers will file complaints about their wedding flowers
I agree, how hard is it to meet for even just a second about the status and appearance of the flowers of their choice.
