Hi Gerbera, Haven't had a bride quite THAT laid back, but did have one who came in armed with a photograph and asked if we could do something similar then told us what she wanted as a bridal bouquet - over arm bouquet of white calla lilies with bear grass and the buttonholes - quoted her the price and she paid there and then! Confirmed it all in writing and I ALWAYS send T & C's with the quotation. Hadn't thought about asking brides to sign the T & C's - might be something to think about.
