Would You Hire a Florist Who Treated You Like You Were Crazy?

This woman looked at me like I was crazy and said that my bouquets would look cheap and fake if I did artificial(duh on the looking fake lol). I’d just like my bouquet to be a keepsake, but she had this wide-eyed smug smirk like I had just said I saw Bigfoot wearing a tutu in Mcdonalds.
Then I told her I’d prefer the corsages and boutonnieres to be blue because blue is our favorite color, and she said it would look fake and cheap since blue isn’t a natural color in roses(though genetic engineers created a blue hybrid rose a few years ago.)

It was like I could do no right, though I’ve been planning for over a year, and have seen about 90% of weddings with artificial bouquets, AND others with blue roses and corsages..
I understand her concern, but I feel she could have expressed it a little different than making a customer feel stupid for wanting something. I’m also wondering if Florists make more money off of real flowers…

Should I just look elsewhere? I’m almost worried she may try to be too pushy or change something at the last minute…
Yeah, she added her opinion without my asking. There was an odd silence because she just froze and went to that weird smile/look, and then asked in a huffy way "what do you plan on doing with your bouquet?" then after I told her I’d like it for a keepsake, she sighed, brushed her hair back and said it would look fake and cheap… I practically forgot about that part because her first reaction is what struck me the most, and I just didn’t come out feeling good. I felt more like I was 5 inches tall
LoL DJ, glad I could make ya laugh ^_^

Artificial or real?

My colors for my wedding are going to be red, black, and white. My problem is that I’m thinking of using artificial flowers in some areas of the reception as well as some real flowers. I know its alot cheaper for artificial flowers but can anyone help me as to where I can find artificial flowers that dont look so fake? And is this a good decision?
