The florist I picked is great. She is well aware of my budget and willing to give me great options to fit my budget/needs, and has came up with great ideas. I have only met with her once because I live out of state. We discussed what flowers I hate and don't want, and the one's that are important to me. She told me about pricing for all of them and we came up with a list of colors and flowers I wanted. I told her that she could fill in with other flowers in similar colors and styles for the rest because I really want a "garden" feel for my arrangements, not just one flower type for each. I told her she could use any other flower (hoping to keep costs down), just not the few I mentioned I hated. Now we got on the phone and she wants me to look at more flowers on the internet and in books and get back to her with more flower types I want. I really don't have time for that, and I thought I made it clear what I wanted. Does it sound like she just trying to make sure I get what I want, or is she asking me to choose to much?
I'm really not that picky- I don't like any type of lily, but told her all the flowers (about 10 different types) that I loved. I told her my colors are white, purple/lavendar, and a little pink. We even discussed which flowers were important for what (ex. I want mainly purple roses in my bouquet, mainly white roses in my bridesmaids, and pink and white in the mothers flowers). Have I left to much up to her, or can I tell her I'm done picking flowers?

My recommendation is simply to call your florist, and based on what you have said here, tell her that you are comfortable with the selections the two of you have already discussed and you defer to her judgment for the 'fill-in' flowers.

I think she is just trying to be sure to make you happy!!!! There are a whole lot of choices and she wants to please you. Just tell her that she is the expert...knows what you want and that you trust her to make something wonderful for you. Just stay within the parameters and budget you have set and make it beautiful. That is what we all like to hear. She is just a bit insecure, probably because you haven't met. Then she will probably let her creativity soar and you will be a bit surprised and really happy with the result.
