    I don't get this. I'm not a fan of price matching like this...just makes you feel like they were trying to rip you off in the first place.

    If any of our florists asked if we'd had quotes, we said just said no.

    That said, we ended up going with the most expensive one anyway ;)

    I said it then, and I'll say it now... They were AMAZING flowers, and im not a fan of wedding flowers, but even if remember them.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
  • No its not normal practise and its information she doesn't need to have, take my advice and steer clear as she is prob after the varieties etc from the quote, sounds like a very poor florist.

  • I had a similarly weird tone from a make-up artist. Her terms and conditions email was so comically hostile, that it totally put me off choosing her. Vote with your feet, simple!
