do you any of refuse to do a wedding in part?
eg. i don't need any of those........flowers as my mother/best friend/ wierd auntie is doing them.

I know that some florists bluntly refuse to do a wedding where someones elses flowers may also be present to protect their reputation.. but where do you draw the line? A lot of hotels have very cheap and rubbish flowers thrown in with the reception price... do you risk losing a otherwise decent wedding over this policy.
Theres also the church flowers, it seems a growing trend for churches to inlcude arrangements by flower arrangers in the price of the church even if they have a total budget of twenty quid for the whole church, and they look diabolical!

I wouldn't be happy doing wedding flowers for a bride if she said "my friend has just done a flower arranging course at night school and she is going to do the church and reception flowers" but without insulting her friend it could be difficult to explain the difference between floristry and flower arranging and why she could ruin your reputation with her efforts.

and if you did make it a house rule to not accept part weddings would you announce it before a consultation or risk wasting your time going through the whole thing for her so to say so and so is doing that for me?
