What happens if we paid a florist $3000 for our wedding and he didn’t do half of what he was suppose to?
The centerpieces were half the size we agreed on and not at all the same piece, missing garlands on back of ceremony chairs, missing rose garden. Went back to complain and florist blamed his problems on the wedding venue. How is that our fault. He offered us $100 refund. We paid $3000 for garbage. How can we get refunded a reasonable price, like $1000.

You can sue the florist for breach of contract. Your damages (the amount of compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) would be the amount of your refund. You can file your lawsuit in Small Claims Court. In addition to the amount of your refund, your damages should also include court costs. Court costs would include the court filing fee and process server fee.
