Splurge or Steal

[SpringCity]

!!!!!!! :boggles:

You know how in magazines they have a "splurge" item and a "steal" item that are supposed to be similar?? We could do that with flowers! Like a wedding bouquet comparison or just an arrangement on our site. We can show people how things can be the same style and color but maybe different varieties. I'm so excited about this - thought I'd share.

Great idea Robin!

I was recently impressed by the Pink Blossom List blog. They take a magazine bouquet and ask 5 top desingers from diffferent areas of the country what the going rates are: http://pinkblossomlist.blogspot.com/2009/05/reality-check-bridal-bouquet.html

But your idea has great potential! Get blogging!!!

I've been thinking about doing something like this on my blog...but I'm easily distracted. Thanks for the reminder!

Fabulous idea!

Let's give everybody a week or so to post comparison shots in an article and we'll summarize them all and link to then from the RF blog.

I'm out of town next weekend (helping Phil teach a class in Las Vegas) but we can get it done when I return.

Please be sure to properly attribute the original and give a price on the 'steal'. And do remember that some other florist made the original, so be kind in your writings.

ooh I was thinking of making both! ha! money saved. :>

Nothing wrong with making both yourself. Then we can give ourselves two pats on the back...on account of our colletive grooviness.

Now that you mention it, I agree. It's probably easier just to do two versions of the same design than trying to match the flowers from someone else's photo.

I ordered my flowers and will do them and post tomorrow!
