Did you girls have a contract with your florist?

My florist said to just send the deposit & I'm not sure if its customary to have a contract. Thanks!

Re: Did you girls have a contract with your florist?

I just booked BURTONS officially yesterday and I gave them the deposit & they gave me a contract--not overly specific-just times & places & the total cost & # of things needed---all subject to change since I have a long time, but I just wanted to book them because I know they book up fast! They told me the same thing, that I could just leave a deposit and do it all by mail but I wanted to go there and have it in hand--just me being anal once again! LOL

Re: Did you girls have a contract with your florist?

I had to send a deposit first for them to write up the contract, I could have brought it in person and received the contract there, but right now putting it in the mail was easier, it is not going to be a specific contract until I pick the exact flowers and arrangements I want.

more like an invoice, but it lists out everything and the prices for them, and the dates, etc.

Re: Did you girls have a contract with your florist?

I'm using Flower Michele and I have a contract. It does list specific flowers and dollar amount, but I have discussed some alternatives with John and can change (delete or add flowers) and the price will be adjusted accordingly.

Re: Did you girls have a contract with your florist?

We made sure we had a detailed contract for everything. That just doesnt sound right, you better make sure they draw one up for you. They can pull some major BS somewhere down the line.

Re: Did you girls have a contract with your florist?

My florist contract was pretty detailed-we made lots of changes along the way but every detail was written on it. I wouldn't feel comfortable any other way.
We hear about brides that get bouquets that don't look anything like what they asked for-I don't think you'd have any recourse without a contract.
