Got suckered into a $75 'test run' for a wedding gig last Saturday and now I have a rule about deposits
I was at a coffee shop in Buckhead when this bride came up to me hyped about my flower arrangements. She begged me to do her wedding but said she needed to see my work first. I was dumb and agreed to do her bridal shower for $75 plus materials. That turned into 14 hours of setup, takedown, and driving across town. She tipped me $20 and then ghosted when I asked about the actual wedding. Never again. How do you guys handle people who want a 'sample' before committing?

Brides who beg for samples are testing your rates, not your flowers.
