Looking for a resaonable florist for 1st birthday centerpieces

I am looking for a semi-cheap (on a budget) florist to do some simple decorations/centerpeices for my daughter's 1st birthday. I'd like something local (i'm in Farmingville) too.

Awww congrats! My daughter turned one in May. We just did lots of balloons.

Anyway flowers...National Floral on Merrick Rd. in Bellmore has great prices. We are using them for our wedding.

ETA: I see your in Farmingville...that's kinda far I think. Good Luck!

Yeah-I think Bellmore is kinda far but thanks for the suggestion. We are doing pink balloons too but since we are haveing a pretty big group of people in our yard with tents and tables I thought some flowers would make a nice touch too.

Re: Looking for a resaonable florist for 1st birthday centerpieces

what about just getting ballons from party city or a dollar store and tying them to a stuffed animal or something for one of the people at the tabel to take home? (theres a party city by the stony brook loews and a dollar store in pt jeff on rt 347 near homegoods) you could also just buy one of those disposable air tanks at bj's/sams/costco and blow them up yourselves, too!

we always use james cress in pt jeff for stuff, but he can be a little pricey!

you might also want to try michaels, they sometimes have fake flower stuff!

i can't believe she is going to be a yr soon....we used to walk the track at commack before you had her (and before we got married!)

I used really pretty plants from home depot and went to the craft store and got cute little pots / vases for like 1.99 each and less and then tied balloons around that

Also that way if anyone takes home the centerpiece they can keep the plant ( we used indoor plants b/c it was winter)
