Things That Make You Go Hmmm....

So today I'm viewing the portfolio of a florist who will potentially be doing the flowers for our wedding. Among the lovely photos of centerpices and boquets and candelabras and other shots you would expect to see in a florist's portfolio is a photo of the urinals in a men's restroom. The kind that hang on the wall, not the kind that go all the way to the floor. And beneath the urinals is a floral arrangement - primarily greenery, but a floral arrangement no less. This raises a few questions in my mind:

1. Who is the person that decided that the urinals at the reception needed a floral arrangement?
2. What kind of budget must you have to afford a floral arrangement large enough to span under 3 urinals, in addition to all the other floral arrangements you must have had?
3. Was there equal treament in the ladies room?
4. What florist decides that THIS should be part of their portfolio? (It was a fine arrangement, but not as nice as the other things in the book in my opinion)
5. Has anyone looked at this portfolio and realized that THAT'S the extra-special detail their wedding was missing and then decided to add the urinal floral arrangement to the quote?

For our pocketbook's sake I'm hoping we won't be using this florist. He was a perfectly pleasant person, but the estimate he came up with was double what we've budgeted. Yeah, we may be able to cut back a little on what he estimated and bump up the budget a bit, but I don't want to do that extensive of surgery on the numbers if I don't have to. I should get quote #2 later this week, and have meeting #3 next Saturday.
