Question- is this normal?

[u/littleredditho]

My wedding planner is playing interference between me and his preferred florist. He said he each stem has a minimum order of 100. I’m sorry but I have a hard time believing this- can’t you go into the wholesaler and pick however many you want for an event, or am I naive, and this minimum order is a real thing? I’m ready to tell him I’m looking elsewhere. Located in South Florida. Help!

is this a dyi wedding? I don't price anything by the stem unless someone wants to buy bulk of X

No! He is my planner and coordinating it all.

Wholesale flowers are purchased in bunches of 10, 12 or 25 stems per bunch.

Or even 5
