    <p>Host: What is the benefit of using a flower shop for wedding flowers?</p><p>Gerry Rogers: A flower shop is uniquely equipped to have flowers on hand to show you. They will always have the flowers that they are selling to the general public in their store and so if you are someone that is very visual or hands on and needs that kind of guidance in choosing your wedding flowers, a flower shop will be able to help you in that way. They are also ideal if you are just having a simple wedding, whether you are just ordering bouquets, for examples, or very simple center pieces. A flower shop is very well equipped to deal with those kinds of needs.</p>
