Flowers and

been arranged.
The cost per table
has been reduced
$ 16.11 to minimum.
The next sets of tables provide budgetary information for the flowers and décor for the reception
area. We have separated the tables based on high tops and then main and bar centerpieces. The
reason for that is because the high-tops décor are set based on the information provided by Esther.
We are submitting two budgets; one with the incorporation of cherry blossoms and the other which
is the original proposal we have decided in our second meeting.
The following table indicates the costs of flowers and décor arrangements for the high-top tables in
the reception area.

We contacted our florist immediately after Monday’s meeting. Currently, the cherry blossoms are
not the best selection for the spring etiquette dinner reception centerpiece. Due to 2 weeks notice of
incorporating cherry blossoms into the theme, they are more expensive and difficult to find.
At this point, our florist does not guarantee the cherry blossoms for the day of our event. However,
we have obtained the prices and have inputted into the following table. Right now the lowest price is
$28 per stem, plus arrangement fees. The florists are selling the cherry blossom as a centerpiece
presentation; therefore we may not purchase the stems without paying for arrangement fees.

Our florists have also informed us that even if we get the cherry blossoms, they will not in their
finest quality due to extreme weather conditions in the past few weeks. Based on the timeline we
have provided, 85%-90% of the flowers will not bloom on time for our event. I have asked Chef
Callahan about the previous events that incorporated cherry blossoms. She informed me that the
blooming of the flowers was a big issue and the assembly was just as difficult.
At this time, I strongly encourage you to re-consider the decor options we have agreed upon in our
second meeting on February 11, 2013. We submitted a hard and soft copy of the proposal which
had three reception centerpieces and we have agreed upon building centerpieces similar to option
#3. To reduce the flowers and décor costs for the reception main centerpiece and bars, I would
recommend other flowers to incorporate into those areas. Our florists recommended a few options
which are more financially convenient to the event; i.e. hydrangea, cymbidium orchids, lily, gladiolus,
carnation, bells of Ireland.

  • 3. The next sets of tables provide budgetary information for the flowers and décor for the reception area. We have separated the tables based on high tops and then main and bar centerpieces. The reason for that is because the high-tops décor are set based on the information provided by Esther. We are submitting two budgets; one with the incorporation of cherry blossoms and the other which is the original proposal we have decided in our second meeting. The following table indicates the costs of flowers and décor arrangements for the high-top tables in the reception area.

  • 4. We contacted our florist immediately after Monday’s meeting. Currently, the cherry blossoms are not the best selection for the spring etiquette dinner reception centerpiece. Due to 2 weeks notice of incorporating cherry blossoms into the theme, they are more expensive and difficult to find. At this point, our florist does not guarantee the cherry blossoms for the day of our event. However, we have obtained the prices and have inputted into the following table. Right now the lowest price is $28 per stem, plus arrangement fees. The florists are selling the cherry blossom as a centerpiece presentation; therefore we may not purchase the stems without paying for arrangement fees.

  • 5. Our florists have also informed us that even if we get the cherry blossoms, they will not in their finest quality due to extreme weather conditions in the past few weeks. Based on the timeline we have provided, 85%-90% of the flowers will not bloom on time for our event. I have asked Chef Callahan about the previous events that incorporated cherry blossoms. She informed me that the blooming of the flowers was a big issue and the assembly was just as difficult. At this time, I strongly encourage you to re-consider the decor options we have agreed upon in our second meeting on February 11, 2013. We submitted a hard and soft copy of the proposal which had three reception centerpieces and we have agreed upon building centerpieces similar to option #3. To reduce the flowers and décor costs for the reception main centerpiece and bars, I would recommend other flowers to incorporate into those areas. Our florists recommended a few options which are more financially convenient to the event; i.e. hydrangea, cymbidium orchids, lily, gladiolus, carnation, bells of Ireland.
