Tip of the Day: Ask for freebies in person. Vendors are more likely to grant add-ons if you ask them face-to-face, rather than through an email or text message. Be as direct as possible; for example, say, "Would it be possible to get some extra peonies in my centerpieces added on for free?" It never hurts to ask—perhaps they'll have leftover flowers from other events taking place that same weekend you could use. Don't beat around the bush, which may come across as manipulative (e.g. "You did my cousin's flowers and she said you gave her two free bridesmaids' bouquets, so...").
