Final payment one week before wedding but 1/2 wedding costs will be paid by that time and we would have our flowers ordered at that stage therefore whatever the price is on the day we order is the price we get them at and so enables us to give a few pounds of but I have to say I can be a meanie if it is someone who has given me a lot of hassle or has tortured me on the run up I knock of the min. like maybe £10-£20 and still would have a good profit on the wedding others may have as much as £100 and again we still have our profit the way I see it sometimes having to order 3 bunches in case of damage when maybe 2 would have done I have the extra covered and if I use them somewhere else well thats a bonus for the shop covers something else that we have maybe had to dump we are in this business to make money and there is no sentiment in business

I am doing a wedding next week, 12 Bridesmaids, 12 ushers and 3 pageboys. I know them quite well and they don't have a pot to piss in. That sounds really mean but why put yourself through it! I am only doing buttonholes and table decs, the bride is doing rest herself. Recipe for disaster I say!

Blimey, 12 bridesmaids, that's just greedy, they're not all the bride's children are they - that seems to be the trend down my way when there are swarms of attendants. Hope you get a pic of the blushing bride with her DIY creation!

She's only twenty eight! She'd have been banging them out since she was 16! Quite feasible then really. I wonder if they make them all pay for their own dresses.

I'll never forget this again!!
we also had this!! bride had paid in full... all our profits went on the callas!!!

which i guess is the con of getting brides to pay in full well before the wedding.
