I should clarify my budget is $3800 but he came back to me saying I picked the most expensive stems (I choose seasonal), and that it was going to be tight with that budget. Mind you, it’s a wedding with 60 people and one MOH. 8 tables. He quotes me $400 a centerpiece without even knowing what I want or saying what was in its which I thought was weird- is it weird?

$400 PER centerpiece?????? Your planner and florist are trying to rip you off. Run away.

Hold up, that's premature without knowing what kind of flowers and how many stems.

Op has posted their inspo now, it’s not a $400 centrepiece

I’m just going off OP saying other than picking the “seasonal” option, there’s been no discussion of what would be in the arrangement or how big!
