Is it okay to take a bouquet back in 24 hours?

I am getting married in late february and went to pick out my bouquet last night. I found one and put a $50 deposit down. I am making my own table arrangements and late last night after thinking about it i realized i may want to just make my bouquet also, due to the fact it would be way cheaper and id get to use the same flowers i found at the store. Is it okay to take a bouquet back? Or could i purchase something else there like the crosages and such. I dont wanna be rude and i dont wanna lose my money :(

just tell them the plan has changed, they probobly deal with this sort of thing all the time
Reply:There would probably be a cancellation fee, so you might want to do like you suggested and get your groom's and groomesmen's boutineers there. If you're doing corsages for the mothers, you could get those as well.
Reply:You'll probably lose your deposit. Think twice about making your own bouquet, though. It isn't as easy as you might think, it will take up a lot of time the night before your wedding, and the flowers won't stay fresh for as long. I really suggest sticking with the florist for your bouquet.





Don't worry about the flowers not being exact matches for the centerpieces. You could make them match, but no one is going to compare your centerpieces to your bouquet. And don't worry about the cost. Apparently, you were comfortable with the cost originally, so you're probably still comfortable with it now.
Reply:I'm sure they are used to it. So yes it's "okay" to do- but you'll have to check with their policies to see if you'll be losing money or whatnot. Just go there and talk to a manager, see what can be arranged.
Reply:The point of a deposit is so when people change their minds after the fact, the floral shop isnt out the money for their time spent with you.
Reply:Hi. Do you mean that you purchased a bouquet (silk?) for $50? I'm not understanding that you "Put a $50 deposit down?





In any case, yes, I don't see why the store would not take back a bouquet especially if you purchased it last night. Just bring your receipt with you.
Reply:Just go back to the store you put the deposit down at, and tell them that you;ve changed your mind. Unless, you signed a contract saying that you can't get your deposit back, i wouldn't worry. If you are unable to get the money back, use it towards something else for your wedding.
Reply:it's not to late to cancel your order I wouldn't think. there is no way they have started them yet anyways.





your not being rude! It's your big day and we all make changes to suit us and what we really want!


Go back and get your money!
Reply:I'm pretty sure you won't be the only bride they've ever met who's changed her mind.. LOL Just tell them you want to substitute something else in place of the bouquet, they'll be fine with that this early on.visual arts
