You won't get any arguement from me.....I too have seen some design work come out of an AIFD designer that bordered on the hideous from time to time. JB posed the question....How do we determine what a quality florist is......that is just one of the resouces that help me to find the best florist to meet my customer's needs.
Meeting the customer's needs is of the utmost importance.......I'll use JB's own shop as an example.......even if Twila were not AIFD.....I would still call the shop, speak to one of the designers and give the order. Same thing if I were sending to Midland, Mi. As far as I know, Mark does not have an AIFD designer on staff, even so, I see his work on the net......and I call that shop ON THE PHONE......engage a designer on staff, and talk with them about the order.
