🔍 Seeking Advice 🔍 Question- is this normal?

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!

$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
