    Host: What should I ask the florist?

    Gerry Rogers: It's likely that your florist will cover a lot more things than you imagined during the meeting. They will suggest different kinds of flowers, they will give you an idea of what different things cost and outline that even more in the final proposal that you have got. But during the meeting the florist should show you pictures of different flowers they are talking about and then most importantly examples of their work, their portfolio. They might have laminated sheets or photographs, they might have little album of their work over the years. These are all very useful for you to get the sense of their style and how that fits with your style.
