The Florist

Yippee! I booked our Florist! We are going with Modesto Exotic Flowers. I swear I have walked into probably 10 florists over the past year and every time I get freaked out. I dont know what it is but the vibe and the feel has just never been quite right. When I walked into Modesto Exotic Flowers I felt an overwhelming sense of calm. It was all very appealing to me. I loved it. They had a large section of bridal examples and lots of plants and stuff. I met with the man at the store and he asked if I had been looking at other florists, I was honest, as usual, and said yes. He said "ok then you know what the prices are lets see if we can work something out to what you like". He was a middle eastern man mid life and he was super nice. We sat at the little 2 top table and reviewed my needs. Leading the way he went on to ask what I wanted in the bouquets, for the guys and for the alter. It actually went pretty fast. He knows his stuff. I was very confident in him though, not nervous. When he showed me the price I was blown away. He beat EVERY single florist I had talked to. Once we went over the cost BUT BEFORE I said yes, he said "ok so congratulations you have flowers!" and went to shake my hand. I booked him then and there! I feel so much more comfortable going with a reputable florist that has a whole shop at his beck and call in case he needs anything last minute. On my way out he shook my hand again and then gave me a hug! He said "you dont have to worry anymore. You are in good hands, I will make it beautiful." I smiled with a confidence that I know could only come from a Heaven sent feeling.
